Fall is in full swing, and I've been embracing the cold-weather shift in my wardrobe. Suede boots, cozy corduroy pants, wool coats, and, of course, sweaters are now in heavy rotation. When it comes to the latter, I've been excited to add chic and fresh styles to my wardrobe this winter. After plenty of research and hours of scrolling through street style images and Instagram, I'm sharing some of the biggest sweater trends that have been dominating this season.
With knitwear trends moving far slower than most other trends, it's safe to say some of these styles are already in your wardrobe. Think relaxed crewnecks and chunky turtlenecks. That said, there are a handful of styles that are sure to add a fresh and modern touch to your closet, including argyle knits (thank you, Khaite), higher V-neckline silhouettes, preppy polos, and cable-knit textures.
If you're looking to add a new sweater or two to your arsenal this winter, then take a look at the list below to inspire and guide your next purchase.
Argyle Sweaters
Perhaps one of the most unexpected (yet very welcomed) sweater trends to dominate this season is preppy argyle sweaters. Thanks to its presence on the fall runways and its dominance among the fashion set this season, it's certainly one of the chicest sweater trends to invest in if you want to look on-trend this fall and winter.

High-V-Neck Sweaters
The V-neck sweater has become cool again. Fall 2025's take on the V-neck comes with a higher neckline, and many iterations sit right above the collarbone, giving the knit a fresh and modern look for the season. They've been all over my feed—styled with midi skirts, tucked into jeans, and layered over button-downs and T-shirts.
Shop:
Fair Isle Sweaters
Fair Isle sweaters are synonymous with the winter, and by the look of Instagram, the coolest fashion people are embracing the cozy trend this season. There is certainly no shortage of chic styles at all our favorite retailers right now.
Shop:
Polo Sweaters
With the preppy trend in the spotlight this fall, polo sweaters are, once again, in demand. Whether you opt for a thin and fitted polo top or a more relaxed silhouette, the collared knit will instantly add an elevated old money touch to your look.
Shop:
Cable-Knit Sweaters
"Ralph Lauren Christmas" is trending this season, and with it comes a desire for chic and colorful cable-knits that are synonymous with the brand. Luckily, there are plenty of styles for all budgets this season that will add a cozy-meets-pretty touch to your outfits.
Shop:
Relaxed Crewneck Sweaters
Classic and timeless, crewnecks remain a staple of the fashion set. This season's styles come in relaxed silhouettes that you can easily style over tees and turtlenecks for a chic layered look.
Shop:
Scarf Sweaters
Perhaps one of the most elegant knit trends of the season, sweaters and cardigans with attached scarves immediately say "fashion person" and are the perfect option when you want to look polished.
Shop:
Chunky Turtlenecks
A chunky turtleneck might be the perfect sweater to style with your straight-leg jeans this season and has the ability to function like outerwear in some situations. Whether you go for a print or a classic color, it's the cozy layer we crave at this time of the year.
