I Tried the 5 Most Luxe-Looking Sweaters on Amazon (They're All Under $50)

The crisp morning air, a warm cup of coffee, a pumpkin-infused candle—is there anything better than fall? There’s no question that 2021 has been a year like no other, but it’s the small things I’m trying to find joy in these days, and sartorially speaking, that means cozying into a soft and snug fall sweater.

Amazon has been a winner in the sweater department this season. While I was loading up my cart with cozy socks and cute sweats from the multi-brand retailer, a handful of chic sweaters also caught my eye. Below, I’m sharing five sweaters that I tried this month that are affordable (all clocking in at under $50) but look seriously expensive. If you’re needing to stock up on a cozy and comforting sweater this cold-weather season then take a peek at my picks for a luxurious fall look.

There's nothing more luxuriously cozy than a cable-knit sweater. While it's still not too cold, I've been wearing this lightweight cable-knit in an autumnal camel hue. (It comes in 13 cool colors if this one's not your cup of tea.) It's easy to layer over a T-shirt or tissue-thin turtleneck once the temps start to drop.

I've already waxed lyrical about how this chic ribbed-knit sweater is one of the best purchases I've made this fall. Not only is the unique scallop neckline supremely stylish, but it's also wonderfully comfortable and looks rather expensive, too. Unfortunately, it has since sold out, but I found one similar at a third of the price.

This is the kind of sweater you just want to snuggle up in all day. It is made of a thicker fabric that is seriously soft—ideal for cooler temps. I also love the relaxed fit and subtle balloon sleeves giving it a fresh, modern, and luxe feel.

I had to add a sweater-vest in here because they're my obsession right now and so easy to layer over long tees, blouses, and even other sweaters. Since we're having a pretty pleasant fall in L.A., I opted for this lightweight stretchy knit. I've been eyeing it for the longest time. It looks chic and pricey yet clocks in at just $23.

Meraki is one of my favorite brands from Amazon's private labels for its classic and timeless sweaters. While I tend to stick to neutrals, I couldn't help but snatch up this beautiful blue-hued V-neck sweater guaranteed to brighten my mood on a gray winter's day.
