The Best Cashmere Sweaters for Fall Are Hiding in Brands’ Sale Sections
I found 28 under-$300 finds from Nordstrom, J.Crew, Saks, and more to prove it.
Ask me what I’m wearing during the fall and winter months, and nine times out of ten, I’ll say a sweater. There’s nothing like a chunky knit that keeps me looking put together on the outside and feeling warm and cozy on the inside. While every piece in my knitwear collection is a favorite, none are more prized than my cashmere sweaters. They're softer, warmer, and tend to be more elevated, but the downside is that they come with a steeper price tag—that is, if you don't know where to look. Thankfully, as your resident shopping expert, I'm here to share my top tip when buying new cashmere: check out the sale section.
Before the chilly seasons get fully underway, there are so many can't-miss cashmere sales across the web. There are cashmere cardigans and crewnecks for 25 percent off at J.Crew, while Quince's luxe turtleneck sweaters are over 50 percent off. Meanwhile, plenty of chic V-neck options are also 25 percent off at Saks Fifth Avenue, to name a few of my favorite hidden deals.
You won't find these prices in a month or so. Keep scrolling to shop the best cozy finds from some of my favorite retailers, all broken down by style. Rest assured every one of these picks has a price tag of $300 and under.

Cashmere Crewneck Sweaters on Sale
A cashmere sweater for under $100 feels too good to be true, but alas, this one is. There's seven shades of this best-selling sweater on sale, including neutrals and trendy fall colors like soft blue and pink so I would stock up.
I can always count on Vince to have elevated staples I can wear season after season. Case in point: this classic crewneck sweater. This Nordstrom sale fall pick is just the piece I need to wear in all of my layering outfits.
Naked Cashmere's sweaters are hands down the softest knits in my collection so trust me, they are worth every penny. I love this style for it's slightly cropped hem and cool chunky knit.
A chunky cable knit and fringe detail will make this sweater stand out in your collection. The fringe is a subtle nod to the boho trend trend that has currently taken over the fashion set.
This classic cable-knit sweater is one of the easiest ways to incorporate fall's trendiest shades into your wardrobe. At $149, why not grab another on-sale shade or two?
While oversized sweaters are nice to snuggle up in, opt for cropped knits for a more elevated look. This one comes in every neutral shade you need for the season, so stock up while it's on sale.
Cashmere Cardigan Sweaters on Sale
An extra-long cardigan is the way to go to reach peak cozy vibes. With its luxe cashmere-wool blend, you won't have to sacrifice comfort for style with this polished pick.
I'm obsessed with Shopbop's monochromatic styling of this sweater in one of fall's top trending colors: pink.
You'll get plenty of wear out this sweater by styling it as a jacket over white T-shirts and tanks.
Take a closer look at the buttons on this cardigan, and you'll notice they look like baby pearls. The small, but pretty detail feels like an ode to Jackie Kennedy's style, so naturally, I'm obsessed.
A cozy oversized fit and ultra-soft feel may make you want to wear this best-selling J.Crew cardigan every day. Choose from black, beige, or a pretty pink shade.
This cardigan is an excellent example of how you can be cozy and chic. Bloomingdale's styling—with trendy wide-legged jeans and ballet flats—is a look I plan on recreating immediately.
Cashmere V-Neck Sweaters on Sale
J.Crew's cashmere collection just got an upgrade this year, so expect this best-selling sweater to be even softer than ever before. It has a slightly more relaxed fit, too so you're bound to stay comfortable and cozy.
For added polish, all you need is a polo V-neck like the one on this Paige sweater. The look was practically made for the office, especially if you add wide-legged trousers and slingback heels.
We love Everlane not just for its elevated essentials but for its sustainable practices. This sweater, which has a cool boyfriend-style fit, features 50 percent recycled cashmere so you can feel good about buying it.
Simple and oh-so-luxurious, this slim-fitting sweater would make a great addition to your fall work outfits. I'd pair it with a slip skirt and suede knee-high boots for a fashion girl office look.
All eyes will undoubtedly be on you in this bright yellow sweater. Let it do the heavy lifting in your look by keeping your outfit simple with jeans and boots for an easy, low-effort fall outfit.
I blame Zendaya and her Challengers press tour outfits for my ongoing obsession with tenniscore fashion. Just imagine how cute this lightweight sweater would look layered over a big button-down shirt.
Cashmere Turtleneck Sweaters on Sale
A sweater this would cost you nearly twice as much anywhere else—but not at Quince, despite the brand using 100 percent grade-A Mongolian cashmere.
This pick could have a price tag three times higher, and I wouldn't blink an eye—it looks that expensive. For an even richer vibe, go with a monochromic look and off-white trousers.
Aritzia rarely goes on sale, so I'm shocked to see a fall-ready sweater like this, in a trendy grey shade, no less, in stock. If you're lucky, you can grab another shade in your size.
This is one of the best-selling turtleneck sweaters on Revolve, so it's only a matter of time before it sells out. Pair it with your high-waisted jeans and skirts—basically everything you own.
This is the most luxurious layering piece you'll have in your closet—that I can all but guarantee. It's still deliciously warm despite being made from a lightweight fine-ribbed cashmere.
Printed Cashmere Sweaters on Sale
There's something about a striped sweater—call it that je ne sais quoi—that's a staple of French girl fashion. Add a bold red lip and classic ballet flats, and you could easily pass for a Parisian native.
If you're having as much fun as possible with your style, Crush Cashmere has a ton of styles for you. This sweater, for instance, would be impossible to ignore with its mega-watt bright colors.
No knitwear collection is complete without a Fair Isle sweater. The pattern is a royal family fashion staple, so grab this on-sale pick while it's still in stock.
How adorable is this pick? I know at least three dog moms who would love it. If there's a Bernadoodle lover in your life, there's a printed sweater for them, too.
Thumb holes and distressing along the cuffs and neckline give this knit a lived-in feel that'll be unique in your sweater collection. I wouldn't be surprised to see this cool sweater among the fashion week attendees.
