No matter how "stylish" or "different" you want to be, come fall, your uniform naturally resorts back to jeans and a cute sweater. Since repeating the same sweaters over and over can get a tad dreary, but spending all of your hard-earned money on lavish ones doesn't really make sense, I decided to fill you in on my little secret for taking those two qualms and meeting them in the middle. The key to scoring cute and cheap sweaters you can wear all season long is shopping at Forever 21.

Not sure if you heard, but Forever 21 is soon to be closing, so before it does, I highly suggest you stock up on the retailer's knitwear. Forever 21 is known for a lot of things, but I'd bet a lot of money you didn't really think to turn to it for expensive-looking cheap sweaters. From the chicest pearl-adorned cardigans to cozy oversized cable knits, the selection of cheap sweaters ahead is truly the best and will have you feeling comfortable and looking stylish this fall without breaking the bank.

The best part, however, is when the compliments start to roll in and people ask you where your sweater is from. The look on their faces when you say you got it for $18 is going to be priceless every time, trust me.
