There’s nothing like a fabulous sweater to make fall feel complete. From classic Fair Isle patterns that bring a touch of tradition, to delicate crochet and pointelle details that feel romantic, to unexpected color combinations that brighten shorter days—these are the kinds of pieces that make getting dressed in autumn a joy. I’ve rounded up 15 of my favorite sweaters this season that are equal parts cozy and chic, perfect for layering into happy fall outfits.
- If you've been a reader for any length of time you know I love a twinset and I love fairisle. So this cardigan and shell set from Julia Berolzheimer's collab with one of my favorite knitwear brands is just perfect. A happy color palette, beautiful fit, and the quality is superb as always. I'm simply obsessed and hope they make this twinset in more colors. I'd buy them all. The yarn is a cotton/cashmere blend that's dreamy to the touch and substantial, but still light enough to wear if you live in a warm place. I love how it paired with my current favorite jeans and this brown suede bag, but you can wear it with so many other colors: eggplant, olive, camel, cream, fuchsia. The styling opportunities are endless! (I'm wearing my normal size in this set and the fit is perfect.) Trust me, you need this set!
- The mix of browns and cables on this cardigan are so chic, and you can pair it with trousers for the office or denim for off-duty days.
- I'm all about stripes and this slim-fitting mockneck sweater is a funky and versatile piece that can be worn under a blazer, or own it's own with a high waisted skirt or trousers. (Or even jeans!) I'd wear it with a bold gold pendant.
- I love a crochet sweater and this delicate pointelle cardigan transforms a pair of jeans into something special for date night. It has an 80's Ralph Lauren Vibe which I love and a wallet-friendly pricetag.
- Speaking of 80's Ralph, this sweet embroidered sweater is adorned with motifs from Martha's Vineyard and looks like a future heirloom. Wear it now with a ruffle collar shirt underneath, then pair it with shorts on your trip to the islands next summer.
- This brown tweed-inspired cardigan is a polished piece that works for both city and country escapes. I love it buttoned up and worn as a top on it's own, or over this espresso brown blouse. (20% off both with "Stacie20".)
- This crochet cardigan is a super lux version of the brown one above, perfect for the lady who lunches. Pair with cream trousers and a side of juicy gossip.
- I love the collegiate stripes on this sweater, which would pair with a crisp white shirt, denim and these iconic loafers beautifully.
- If I didn't already own two cricket sweaters I'd definitely scoop up this one. I love styling them casually with relaxed jeans and sneakers.
- The oversized cable on this sweater looks so lux and the spiced cider color is too good.
- If you're on the hunt for a heavier fair isle this one is the loveliest nantucket red color, and this one is a beautiful burgundy.
- For a crewneck fair isle I can't stop thinking about this . I love the robin egg blue accents which brighten a darker knit.
- The fringe on this striped sweater makes it feel fancy and cozy at the same time.
- This opulent pink cardigan and scarf combo is such a statement, and makes winter accessorizing a breeze. Pair with burgundy, chocolate brown ,or cream for maximum impact.
- Another Kilte x Julia favorite because it's just so good, pair this wrap cardigan with loungewear at home, then throw it on over jeans and a tee and you're out the door. The plumy shade will work well into spring.
