Guest in Residence
If you didn't know, supermodel Gigi Hadid founded her cashmere brand, Guest in Residence, in 2022. The brand focuses on timelessness and luxury with a touch of comfort. All the pieces are made from 100% cashmere and can be passed down from generation to generation.
Free People
While Free People has a bunch of other brands on its site, its own pieces are always a hit, especially its sweaters. The designs feature a fresh take on classic knitwear and still uphold high quality.
J.Crew
Who doesn't love a classic cashmere sweater from J.Crew? They're easy pieces to throw on and layer underneath a coat. The Rollneck Sweater from the brand has many fans on the Who What Wear editor team.
Alex Mill
Founded by Alex Drexler and Somsack Sikhounmuong, Alex Mill is a brand known for classic but fun knitwear pieces that won't ever go out of style. Stylish outfits can be built with any of the sweaters from Alex Mill.
Reformation
Reformation will never fail in the knitwear department. Its sweaters are so chic and soft to the touch. The price range is a bit higher, but it's worth it for the long-lasting quality of each sweater. The brand has a range of styles, from cashmere to cable-knit.
Donni
Each sweater from this brand is just stunning. The colors are vibrant, and the thick stitching is impeccable for the cold. These are sweaters you can wear over and over again for the next five months and see no difference in quality.
Sézane
Sézane is one of my favorite brands for sweaters. These are such stylish and easy pieces to integrate into your wardrobe, and they are simple enough to blend into your winter aesthetic.
&Daughter
While the prices are quite high for this brand, it's because the quality is unmatched. Soft, thick, and usually a blend of wool and cashmere, these sweaters just can't be beaten. If you're willing to splurge, I highly recommend &Daughter.
Extreme Cashmere
Talk about a trusty cashmere sweater. Extreme Cashmere is also on the pricey side, and it's no wonder why. These sweaters are cool, chic, and cozy. The brand offers a wide range of fits and styles for everyone's tastes.
Marle
This has to be one of the coolest brands to do knitwear thus far. The lightweight pieces are great for layering, and the designs are simple but unique, which is why I have my eye on many pieces on the site.
Frisson Knits
If you're looking for a small brand to support, look no further than Frisson Knits. These thick sweaters are a fashion dream for the winter, and the quality is incredible. There's a bomber-style knit jacket that I must have.
