Best Pullover Sweater For Women
Anrabess Turtleneck Long-Sleeve Pullover Sweater ($41-$46)
This isn't your average sweater — in fact, it's way more sophisticated. The bestselling Amazon sweater has over 4,000 near-perfect reviews on the retailer's site, and it comes in a variety of colors, too. One POPSUGAR editor bought the style herself and shared her honest opinion on the piece in this Anrabess Turtleneck Pullover Sweater review.
Editor Quote: "The cozy piece currently has over 4,000 rave reviews and I had to find out why. Once it arrived I was surprised by its soft texture and good quality. I love that the silhouette is kind of like a tunic and longer in the back. It's flattering to wear jeans, sweatpants, you name it. If you're sold and need one for yourself, get shopping, because it comes in over 20 fun color choices." — Krista Jones, former editor, Commerce

Best Cable-Knit Sweater For Women
Dokotoo Hollow Cable Knit Pullover Sweater ($32, originally $50)
We'll be the first to admit that it's hard to resist a chunky, cable-knit sweater. And the loose-knit pattern on this Amazon style is extra tempting with its whimsical, woven design. The colors also range from khaki to pink, meaning you can stock up on the shade that's best suited for you (and your closet!).

Best Tunic Sweater For Women
Lane Bryant Cowlneck Stripe Tunic Sweater ($32, originally $80)
You'll be so glad to have this warm and cozy tunic sweater tucked into your wardrobe come winter. Unlike other cropped styles, this piece has a longline tunic design that provides more coverage on the body. Plus, with its classic striped pattern, you'll have no problem teaming the knit with just about any item in your closet.

Best Cashmere Sweater For Women
J.Crew Cropped Cashmere Crewneck Sweater ($118-$148)
If you're looking to invest in a long-lasting style that will remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come, you really can't go wrong with a classic cashmere sweater. While there are so many different styles to shop online, we can't get enough of this plush J.Crew sweater — which even comes highly recommended by POPSUGAR editors, as detailed in this J.Crew Cropped Cashmere Sweater review.
Editor Quote: "I'm a big fan of cashmere. It's so luxuriously soft, and to me, there's nothing worse than the feeling of an itchy sweater. What I don't always love is the price, and I gravitate towards J.Crew because, as someone who's tried a lot of different fabrics in my life, this cashmere is the highest quality for the best price. It's super soft and not too heavy or too light. Plus, it goes with literally everything." — India Yaffe, former associate editor, Commerce

Best Turtleneck Sweater For Women
Sovelen Turtleneck Chunky Pullover Sweater ($40)
Oh, to count the ways we love a good turtleneck sweater. The faux-button details on this turtleneck top are really what won us over. Plus, the style provides ample coverage on the neck, so you can feel comfortable wearing the piece out on those brisker winter days — even without a scarf. Now comes the chore of figuring out which of the 10+ colors is best.

Merokeety Turtleneck Sweater ($26, originally $38)
Choose from a variety of colors of this balloon-style sweater from Amazon. With so many different variations of this piece to shop from, it's sure to be a seasonal staple in your winter wardrobe. And perhaps the most alluring prospect of the piece: that under-$100 price point, which feels almost unheard of for a quality boucle sweater these days.

Best Sweater Vest For Women
ASTR the Label Checker Sweater Vest ($33, originally $65)
Stick to the basics with this cozy sweater vest. While oversize sweater vests are proving to be super popular these days, this style boasts more of a cropped silhouette that's perfect for those looking to embrace a refined and proportional look. Layer it on top of a white button-down shirt, and you've got a new, timeless ensemble to add to your seasonal wardrobe.

Best Cardigan Sweater For Women
Madewell Rib Raglan-Sleeve Cardigan ($98)
When it comes to quality sweaters that you can get extended use out of in a number of different seasons, we find that cardigan sweaters are the way to go — especially if they're as chic as this style from Madewell. Whether you're splurging on it for yourself or giving it as a gift, it's such a timeless piece — and available in a moody indigo color, too.

Best Cozy Sweater For Women
Free People Easy Street Crop Pullover Sweater ($98)
Some sweaters are made to be worn and styled outside, while others are best for at-home wear — where you can snuggle and lounge around however you see fit. This cropped number from Free People definitely fits into the latter. You can wear it on its own or style it on top of a sharp button-down top.

Best Alpaca Sweater For Women
Everlane The Oversized Alpaca Crew ($83, originally $118)
We hope winter will never end — if anything, just so we have an excuse to wear this alpaca sweater on repeat for the rest of the year. Alpaca has a reputation for being one of the most long-lasting materials, so we appreciate that this sweater still boasts a relatively feasible price tag despite its high-quality make. The style is available to shop in a handful of fun colors. Admittedly, though, we're partial to this soft pink iteration in particular.

Best Half-Zip Sweater For Women
H&M Rib Oversize Half-Zip Sweater ($40)
When you're not quite sure whether you need a warm sweater or something more lightweight, it's best to opt for a half-zip sweater style like this version from H&M. With its zippered collar, users can easily adjust the piece to provide more or less coverage on their neck, as needed — totally dependent on outside temperatures, of course.
