When people ask me where my love for fashion comes from, I always point to my mom. For over 10 years, my mom has worked in the fashion industry, doing everything from styling to sales. She has gained a lot of experience and shared many helpful lessons and tips with me, including the importance of building a great sweater collection.
As a lifelong New Yorker, my mom has developed a passion for purchasing sweaters, specifically those crafted from high-quality, comfortable materials, with flattering cuts and affordable prices. She has definitely passed this shopping obsession to me, and every winter, I indulge in a shopping spree to discover the newest styles to wear everywhere—from work to brunch with friends to date nights.
While many retailers and brands offer fantastic sweaters, my mom and I both think J.Crew, Reformation, and Banana Republic have the top selections. From sophisticated cardigans to fashionable high V-necks and cashmere crewneck sweaters, there's a broad range of styles to covet. To give you a taste of what we're loving this season, keep scrolling to see our 24 favorite picks.
The Best Sweaters From J.Crew
In September, J.Crew launched the 2025 Rollneck Sweater, a revamp of its 1988 version, and in less than four months, every Who What Wear fashion editor has added one to their collection.
The ribbing on the neckline and cuffs makes this turtleneck different than other popular ones.
I thought this was Khaite when I first spotted it on a fashion influencer.
Everyone needs a Prada-coded gray crewneck sweater.
Throw this over a white tee and baggy jeans for a chic travel outfit.
I love the way a turtleneck looks when layered under a crewneck sweater.
It's called the Perfect Cashmere Cardigan for a reason.
I'd wear this every day if I owned it.
The Best Sweaters From Reformation

Forget what people are saying about V-necks being out. They are actually in, and this chunky style is a favorite.
Argyle and Fair Isle sweaters are trendy, but striped ones will always be timeless.

I rarely wear color in the winter, but this pink sweater paired with brown leather pants makes me want to add bold hues to my wardrobe.
This top is sheer, so style it with a lace bra or a simple black bralette.
The Best Sweaters From Banana Republic
I talk about Banana Republic cashmere sweaters too often mainly because their price and quality are unbeatable.
Black is fine, but navy sweaters look a lot more expensive.
I can't decide between the cherry-red and the blue-and-brown striped style.
I love the big buttons, sailor collar, and marled yarn.
Size up and layer it over a white tank top.
This comes in 11 other colors.
