Cozy Sweaters for Fall

October 7, 2021

When it comes to finding the most-wanted items for fall, one picture, in particular, comes to my mind: Julia Roberts in a blue cardigan in Notting Hill, circa 1999. It’s a good thing traditional cardigans and sweaters are back in style this fall season. Knitwear encapsulates everything great about autumn: the changing colors of the leaves or the in-between weather. But which sweater designs are really worth investing in? I’ve put together my carefully curated list of cozy sweaters for Fall for you. These are covetable designs spanning from cardigans to sweaters and everything in between.

Some of My Favorite Cozy Sweaters for Fall (at great prices)

Open-Front in Style: Women’s Open-Front Cardigan – Universal Thread $25

With this Universal Thread Open-Front Cardigan, you can embrace the colder season in elegance. This open-front cardigan is 100% cotton fabric for a comfortable fit and has elaborate textured stitching and ribbed borders for a tight fit. The open-front style allows you to display shirts and blouses alongside your favorite necklaces and accessories, and the high-low hem falls below the hip for easy layering. I just bought this cardigan (in more than one color – oops!) and wear it as a look-defining layer finished off with ballet flats and even sneakers.

The Under-$30 Sweater: H&M Knit Sweater – $25

This sage green sweater and its casual shape have a lot to like about, particularly the $25 price tag. First and foremost, it is from 50% recycled material, and the quality is elastic, warm, and very comfortable. For a C cup, a small size is perfect for a loose fit. I highly recommend this one! 

The Subtle Sweater: State Ribbed Balloon Sleeve Sweater – $69

This cotton-blend sweater is totally on-trend but still classic enough to last for seasons with its dramatic balloon sleeves. I like how it looks, and the balloon sleeve is just perfectly right!

The Amazon Sweater: ZESICA Oversized Chunky Knitted Sweater – $40

This thick knitted number is a #1 Best Seller on Amazon, and reviewers adore it for its slouchy fit, super-soft texture, and lightweight but warm construction. It is also known as a “compliment magnet.” It is soft and not too thick, ideal for hotter climates since it gives you that autumn vibe without making you sweat. It is available in many colors. The sweater looks more expensive in person than it actually costs! On chilly days, this is the most fantastic way to be warm and fashionable. Wear it with your favorite skinnies and sneakers, or with boots for a perfect look!

The Best Value Sweater: Halogen Crewneck Cashmere Sweater – $60

Every wardrobe should include a pure cashmere crewneck that is as elegant as comfortable, and you can style it in various ways throughout the year. Many people like this sweater since it fits true to size and is inexpensive. You may wear them with a variety of bottoms many times a week.

The Turtleneck Sweater: Uniqlo Extra Fine Merino Turtleneck Sweater – $40

Look no farther than this best-selling Uniqlo design for a classic shape in a dark, neutral hue. The sweater seems to be very comfortable and warm. They are ideal for traveling since they take up minimal space in your luggage and layer nicely.

Open-Front Sweater: Milano Cotton Sweater, Created for Macy’s – $70, but currently on SALE!

This sweater is fantastic! The neutral color will complement any outfit. It feels lovely and squishy! This sweater is made of very soft cotton with a refined and feminine design. You can wear it with a day dress or a casual top and trousers.

Cozy-Cool: Fleece Sweatshirt – A New Day – $18

Keep it cozy and warm with the Fleece Sweatshirt from A New Day. This easy-to-wear crew neckline has a touch of sophistication perfected with its rib-knit finish. The soft fleece fabric is warm and pleasant to wear, and the loose fit maintains the look casual yet stylish. Wear this wide-hem sweatshirt alone with matching joggers or leggings for a laid-back appearance, or dress it up with a pair of jeans and black-heeled, hiker-style boots to complete the effect. Plus, the pricing is unbeatable and it’s also available in Plus sizing.

See all of my picks from this post below:


Sweaters and cardigans genuinely have it all, whether it’s an oversized design, grandmother-inspired weave, or a posh matching set. Wear it open, closed, over a dress, or as an improvised blanket for a night on the couch.

Do you have a favorite cozy fall sweater?

I’ve recently taken several makeup classes and one I’ve recently taken several makeup classes and one of the common lessons is that dewy or glowy makeup is better for mature skin. I agree completely because I feel like it blurs my 61 year old wrinkles a little bit and makes my skin look hydrated and healthy. 

What do you think? Are you Team Dewy or Team Matte?
Are you going to a wedding or another special even Are you going to a wedding or another special event this summer? This dress with the embroidered flowers and lace is a beautiful option.

It’s technically a midi, but more maxi on me because I’m a petite 5’1”. Available in 2 color options and lots more similar styles. And there’s even a warehouse sale happening right now with dresses starting at $39.

Let me know if you want the link with sizing details and discount code.💙💚

*Thank you @maggylondon for this gorgeous dress!
Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit Happy new month friends! I’m sharing a cute outfit that’s perfect for a summer day of running my errands. My new large terry cloth tote is so fun and unique. It’s great for travel or even a day at the beach too.

Anybody traveling for the 4th of July weekend? We’re going to our usual destination where we hang with our kids and grandkids to enjoy the celebration which means I will be busy today getting ready to go.🎆

Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of Dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in one of my favorite vacation places wearing one of my favorite dresses with my most favorite person in the world. 

Scroll to the right to see the back of this gorgeous pleated dress that packs into a little pouch making it travel friendly. It’s currently on sale too!☀️

The maxi dress has a raw hem so it’s super easy to cut without having to get it hemmed. That worked out perfectly for me and my petite 5’1” height. I cut 3 inches off the bottom of the dress and now it fits me exactly how I like it. I love the color too!

I’m loving the back of the dress so I thought I’d share it in a video when we were walking back from the restaurant after dinner. The restaurant is called Hacienda and it’s by the marina in Cabo. We’ve been going there for years. This trip we went there for brunch too and it was excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner if you’re ever in Cabo.

*Let me know if you want DETAILS on what I used.*

Whether I’m spending days or nights by the water, I skip the heavy, full-coverage products and reach for lightweight favorites that let my skin breathe while still giving me that healthy, radiant glow.

Think: sheer coverage, a touch of bronzer, creamy blush, and plenty of luminosity. The goal isn’t a perfect makeup look—it’s looking like the best version of yourself while enjoying every minute of vacation.

Are you a full-face-on-vacation girl, or do you keep your makeup light and simple when you’re at the beach? Tell me below! ⬇️

We always have our favorite restaurants that we go We always have our favorite restaurants that we go to when we’re in Cabo. Toro is one of them and I finally started making my husband take a picture out front these last few years. Swipe to see the previous years and read the captions for each slide to see what I love about this restaurant… ➡️

(Separate picture captions is a new Instagram feature if you didn’t already know that)

I love that they have live music playing out on the patio almost every time we’re there. The band was exceptional this time. They played cover songs and sounded amazing.🎶

The food is excellent. I love that they have some vegetarian options. I always get their delicious beet salad. This time I also got the vegetarian empanadas and had a big scoop of mashed potatoes which were heavenly with crisped parmesan cheese on top.😋
