For chilly nights by the bonfire or after evening swims in the pool, this is the perfect cardigan to throw on.

Reviewers also say it's a great addition to your carry-on bag for chilly airplanes.
Pros: Comes in 26 colors; Inclusive sizing.

Customer review: "This is perfect for the beach evenings and for putting over tank tops in the summer. It’s not as roomy as I expected but it works. It’s a great summer sweater to add style and layers and a tad of warmth." — Amazon
This is the kind of casual, oversized sweater that you can wear with jeans and booties when you leave your house—but you can also easily wear with a pair of black leggings and fuzzy socks once you're back home and hanging out in your apartment. This fuzzy pick is textured, warm, and is great for those who love neutrals. It comes in 42 colors plus a few striped print versions in shades of red, yellow, and gray, too.
Pros: Comes in 42 colors and prints; Top-rated on Amazon.
Cons: Hand-wash only; Only comes in one size;
Customer Review: "This long-sleeved pullover is a steal for the price! It’s attractive and very comfortable. It can be worn casually with jeans or dressed up with slacks. Purchase one, you won’t be disappointed." — Amazon
Not every sweater in your wardrobe has to be reserved for winter. If you don't believe me, check out this cute option. With adorable puff sleeves and an eyelet pattern, which also makes this top more breathable, this sweater is a nice update to your basic tees. If you're not a fan of the v-neck or puff sleeves, no problem—there's options without either detail.
Pros: Comes in 16 colors; Fits true-to-size.
Cons: May run long on petite frames.
Customer review: "I love the color of this top for fall, but it can really be worn anytime of the year. Looks nice for business casual work, a weekend brunch with friends or just running errands on a weekend. It's just as flattering for a fuller figure as it is on the model in the picture and fits as sized." — Amazon
This adorable striped chunky sweater from Dokotoo comes in a whopping 37 different colors and has hundreds of glowing five-star reviews, with one shopper even dubbing it "the best sweater on Amazon,” bar none. Other glowing reviewers recommend choosing your normal size when shopping. Other tips that I found for you in the massive comments section? This sweater lasts better if you air-dry it! The only downside is that it’s made to be hand-wash only, so don’t drop it in the washing machine!
Pros: Comes in 30+ colors; top-rated on Amazon.
Cons: Handwash-only; Air-dry preferred.
Customer Review: "This has quickly become one of my favorite sweaters. It’s so comfortable, fits as expected, and has not worn out or faded in the 2 months that I have had it and worn it about a dozen times." — Amazon
This is the kind of chunky sweater that you'll reach for on a weekly basis and without even thinking about it. And over 1,400 five-star reviews can’t lie—this sweater is near universally adored. The silhouette runs long to hug your butt, but will definitely shrink if you wash it and put it in the dryer (naturally). To keep it in its oversize condition, you should hand-wash it and let it air-dry. For an easy look for winter, style your sweater with brown over-the-knee boots and black leggings.
Pros: Runs true-to-size; Top-Rated on Amazon.
Cons: Hand-wash only; Runs long; Only comes in three colors.
Customer Review: "A nice comfy sweater that's warm! The fabric isn't extremely soft but it isn't scratchy either. If you want an oversized look I recommend sizing up one. The fabric is also a bit stretchy as well." — Amazon
This simple turtleneck sweater from Amazon’s own Amazon Essentials brand is on the thinner side, which makes it easily layer-able underneath your itchier wool sweaters and over top of thinner summertime slip dresses. You can shop it now in sizes XS through 6X, and in 21 different colors and prints including this navy blue option, a simple black version, and a festive red shade. The over 4,000 five-star reviews on Amazon can’t lie—this one is a real cold-weather winner.
Pros: Inclusive size range; Comes in 21 colors and prints; Machine-washable.
Cons: Some reviewers say the imagery isn't accurate of the color you receive.
Customer Review: "Fits as expected. Washs and drys nicely and kept it's shape. Soft and comfy with the perfect thickness for me." — Amazon
If you tend to roll out of bed in your PJs to work from home, throwing on a nice loungewear set can make a world of difference in your mood. This sweater, along with the matching pants, will make you feel so much more put together for your Zoom meetings or even if you're just hanging around the house. It's made from a thick plush knit to keep you warm and cozy, not to mention the color options are to die for.
Pros: Comes in several colors; Sizes range from XX-Small to 5X-Large; Machine-washable

I don't know about you, but the perfect sweater to me is two things: warm and as close to wearing a blanket as can be. This cardigan checks both of those boxes. The sherpa-like knitted material and oversized fit means wearing this cardigan feel just like being swaddled in a blanket, only it's socially acceptable to leave the house in it. Another bonus? It has pockets, which you can never have too many of.
Pros: Comes in multiple colors; Has pockets; Machine-washable.
Cons: Some reviewers note the colors do not match the on-site description.
Customer review: "I bought this for an Alaskan cruise I just took. It was exactly what I was looking for! It is oversized and I was able to wrap it around to keep me warm while sitting on the deck!! I am so very pleased!!!" — Amazon
