20 Best Sweater Brands For Ladies (2023 Updated)

I really like this hoodie! It’s so comfortable! I really like looser fitting hoodies and it’s hard to find that cropped but this really hit the mark! It’s baggy fitting but not so baggy it’s overwhelming.

It’s really comfortable to wear. I like that it still has the pocket in the front which is hard to find on cropped hoodies. The color is really nice and I receive tons of compliments on it. It washed really well and didn’t have any issues with shrinkage or anything when following the qashing directions.

Definitely a great purchase!.

I’ve been buying Land’s End cashmere turtlenecks for many, many years because I loved the way they felt and fit. Unfortunately, apparently I can’t rely on these turtlenecks as I used to. I was really excited to find this in the hot pink, as colors seem to have become quite muted the past few years, and I eagerly anticipated having it.

Unfortunately, the cashmere feels coarser, not as soft as in the past, the ribbing around the neck and cuffs is wider and not as refined as previously, and I especially disliked how “stretched out” the neck is.

I know a lot of people complain that a turtleneck is too tight around their neck for their comfort, but for me, a turtleneck sits right against the neck. No, it’s not choke-worthy. Yes, it’s flawless clean style, presents a finished appearance and feels cozy against the skin.

Please, Land’s End, bring back the classic cashmere turtleneck ~ soft, tailored, nice range of colors including brights, and timeless classic styling.

I bought two last summer, paying about 100 dollars each. Lemon and light aqua color. A bit thin for my liking, but they fitted well after sizing up. I wore them instead of a scarf, draped around my shoulders in cool summer evenings and air conditioned spaces.

So far so good. Then I actually wore these sweaters. I was really stunned to see heavy pilling in places where my small crossbody bag rubbed against it – right in the middle of my bust and above waistline.

Large balls of fibers. This defect is very visible. The sweaters lost their shape after second wash. The neckline and cuffs are rippling. I am very disappointed. I certainly don’t plan to buy more just for the sake of a new batch of colors like I would in the past.

I am sorry that LE has gone downhill so much.

I invested in one of these just to see what it was like and if cashmere is worth the hype, and I love it so much it has become my almost daily under layer (paired with a 2nd turtleneck) this winter! I have temperature regulation issues and am often so freezing cold that I’ll wear a 600 down coat indoors, but with this as a base layer, I’m usually toasty warm.

If I am outside in truly cold weather, I’m warmer with this sweater as my base layer than with anything else I own. What’s even better is that it’s not excessively warm when worn alone and looks so nice that if I find myself needing to remove my outer turtleneck, I usually start getting compliments on the cashmere one that remains! I’m getting ready to buy another and will almost certainly be coming back for even more!.

Have bought the Westerly in both the solids AND 2 of the patterned sweaters! Love this iconic style; the ladies style (a little longer than the men’s) is very flattering on a woman. These sweaters are heavy (more like a sweater-coat) and very well made.

For additional looks and comfort there are zippers running both ways; again to take the bottom zipper up to the upper thigh/waist makes for a very flattering/slimming look. The patterned sweater now has a new color in the men’s version.

I do hope Pendleton makes the grey/red version available in the women’s style as well. I would definitely add it to my collection. Lastly, these sweaters are made for layering, so if you are wanting a tailored looked, I would advise you to size down.

Thanks Pendleton for all of your great, quality clothes. I get compliments EVERYTIME I venture out in a Pendleton.

This sweater, like anything you’ll buy from Pendleton, is of phenomenal, heirloom-like quality. True story: I bought one for my buddy for Christmas to help him channel some dude-ness; my wife bought me one for Christmas.

We went to the Pendleton store the next day, my birthday, in Ft. Collins because I was off on the size for my buddy, and I ended up buying one for my wife. We then proceeded to all wear our sweaters for shopping and, maybe, a birthday beer and shot at Ft.

Collins’ oldest bar. We all three got the gray sweater rather than the cream. It’s beautiful and immediately makes you want to fight nihilism and search for your rug. The weight and quality are magical.

Also, no joke, I bought the Westerly-pattern socks. Their weight to warmth ratio is amazing. Suuuuuuper comfy!.

Love this and all the Pendleton men’s sweaters amd shirts. This one gets great compliments and/or is a great conversation starter. Men & women all comment on it, walking down the street, sitting in bars/restaurants, whatever & wherever; and all ages.

I’m 50 ish, and was surprised to have 20-somethings commenting on it recently and referencing ‘the dude’. I just bought the sweater because I liked it; aside from the fact the movie is awesome. Anyway, it’s extremely warm – much warmer and heavier than expected.

So you’ll need truly cold weathet to wear it. Not sure how Lebowski managed to wear it in LA, but whatever. My issue with this and other men’s Pendleton tops is that the large is way way too large, but the next size dowm (medium) is too small.

Maybe my body is weird, I don’t know. Anyway, like this sweater, but wouldn’t buy it again since it’s very heavy (much too heavy to wear inside) and is blousy/over-sized. It’s hard to find suitable situations for wearing it, when it’s both very cold and baggy look is appropriate.

I guess it’s good for dog walking?.

I would love to love this sweater: if I had excess means I may have kept it. The wool was soft and didn’t feel sctratchy, I tried it with a fine layer underneath. I found the picture and actual product didn’t exactly match.

The colour, and even details around the sweater hem seemed different than pictured. The Large fit me as I was expecting with enough room to layer over or under. I was actually looking for an XL as I wanted this to be more of an outer sweater, I was actually hoping the sizing would fit larger than it was! The knit used for this sweater, while a-typical and nice looking, seemed like it would snag easily.

With my intended use this sweater: from cabin living to street wear, I was hoping for a sturdier weave/knit, perhaps thicker yarn as well. It may be great as a warmer mid layer, and for this I would have considered keeping it.

I was just a little too underwhelmed, and felt like for this price I’ll likely go for a more hand knit/sturdier feel. This seems very generic, and factory formed, despite the Fjallraven sentiment. I was hoping for a more nordic feel and quality to this sweater.

Thank you Altitude Sports for making returns so easy. I’ve always had excellent customer service with any number of issues!.

I recently bought and fell in love with the Fjällräven Ovik Structure sweater and decided to buy others. Unfortunately this one is a little lighter weight and hits at the top of my hips so that the sweater drops over and makes a pooch.

It’s just not flattering for my figure. Overall I’d say these are sized true but comfy/roomy. If I sized down it may look better if tighter and more fitted but haven’t tried. Love the quality though! And cute.

I was looking for a cardigan sweater for indoors and outdoors. There’s nothing wrong with the REI fleece cardigan I’ve been wearing every day all winter, indoors and as a layer for outdoors for 10 years.

But I wanted to treat myself to a visual change, a beautiful pattern and colors. This sweater completely does that. It’s a good fit I’m size 14 Womens and the Large is perfect. I’ll still wear the fleece, just not 18 hours a day November- April.

I really like this cardigan! Heather blush is such a pretty dusty color, and I love how soft and lightweight this cardigan is. I like wearing this to work in the office or on milder nights. As someone who is very, VERY sensitive to fibers, however, this sweater is just a tiny bit itchy, and I’m hoping it’ll soften up after a wash or two.

The sweater does get a little fuzzy after some wears, but it’s not too bad. Sizing – I bought this in my usual size M, though I definitely could have sized down if I wanted to. I love the loose fit – it’s slightly boxy when buttoned up and swingy when unbuttoned.

Sleeves reach to the middle of my hands, and cardigan is slightly cropped and hits right above my hips. Buy your usual size for an oversized fit, otherwise size down. I do wish the poly content was lower.

Madewell seems to no longer list percentages online, so here you go – 40% acrylic, 30% alpaca, and 30% polyamide.

I probably never would have bought this online, but I felt it in person and fell in love. The fabric is the selling point. It’s so soft, and oversized enough for the perfect slouchy cardigan look. The green is also so pretty in person.

I wish it was a bit longer, just because I don’t like cropped shirts personally, but it’s on the line of acceptable for my height. The sleeves actually come to mid hand on me so if you’re tall this will actually fit your arms.

Definitely size down in this! I usually wear an XS, I got a XXS and it’s stilly plenty boxy and oversized without making me feel like I’m drowning. The feel of this sweater is very true to the material — it’s 40% acrylic and 30% alpaca so it is very soft and warm but also just slightly itchy, not so much that it makes it uncomfortable to wear.

I’ve returned some Madewell sweaters in the past for being too cropped, but this one is great — I’m 5’6″ and it hits just a few inches below high-waisted jeans.

I purchased these in store. The sizing runs big. I’m typically between small and medium, but got this in a small. It’s meant to be oversized but I’m smaller up top so it’s not a cute look for me. The shape is more of a cropped batwing style, which is hard to see on the photos online.

I got the black, beige and magenta. The magenta is not the hot pink pictured, it is a deep muted magenta. Also, in store, the green is deep, not the bright green shown. So if you’re ordering online, heads up.

They did wash nicely, with air drying. Last year’s sweaters from New Day have lasted well so I’m hoping for same quality.

I saw this online but the reviews were all over the place so I figured I’d better try on in the store. Glad I did…I love this soft, lightweight sweater and bought in three colors! I’m 5’7, 155 lbs, and busty.

I tried on medium and large and went with the medium. This sweater will look cute with high waisted jeans. It’s a shorter length but definitely not cropped. I don’t find the v neck to be too low. This is perfect for the office or out to dinner.

Beautiful colors too…I may have to go back for the bright pink if they go on sale. Well done, Target!.

This is the perfect lightweight sweater. Very soft, but runs large. I’m 5’7, 150lbs and the xs fit me best. It hits at the perfect spot (right at the top of my hips) and it’s so refreshing. Not every sweater needs to be tunic length.

I’m here to buy more colors!.

I love this shirt so much, I don’t wear many turtle necks but this has me rethinking my style. It is comfortable and the material is soft and high quality. It feels good to touch and to wear. It’s classy and makes me feel nice wearing it.

It’s Simple but elegant, I just love it! This is a brand I have always loved and it keeps me buying more. You can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. I chose black because it goes with so much and I have worn it a few times getting complimented every time.

I highly recommend this brand and this particular turtle neck!.

I’ve been searching for a camel colored turtleneck for the spring/fall. I found this back in March and ordered it. When it arrived, it had piling in multiple areas so I exchanged it for the same item.

The new one arrived undamaged in May, but I missed the spring season to wear it so it’s been sitting in my closet until the fall. I wore it once in October and noticed it is coming apart at the seams on the left shoulder, but now it’s too late for returns or exchanges.

It’s never been washed and was only worn once! Nice color and feels great on, but what a disappointment; not durable :(.

I first ordered this turtleneck in color Camel and Size Large because even though I’m a Size 8-10 I don’t like knits to be too clingy. I loved the texture and style so much that I ordered 3 more in different colors.

Unfortunately all 3 fit smaller than the first one, even though I ordered the same size. The necks were noticeably tighter, wrists smaller around, and the overall length was about an inch shorter. Sadly I had to return all 3.

I got this piece as part of a Trunk Club box. I was very happy that I received this as it’s not something that I would have picked out myself, but it’s something that I absolutely love wearing. It’s comfortable, soft, and fits well.

Its also a nice basic top that can add a little flair to an outfit. Now to the reason that I’m rating this 3 stars instead of 5. I received this piece on Oct 18, 2021 and am now writing this review on January 27, 2022.

In the 3 months that I have had this piece, it is clear that the quality is not great. I treat my clothing well and typically keep pieces for years and years. In 3 months I have started to see loose stitches at random points along the sweater.

Since this is a knit sweater, and the loose threats are NOT along seams, it means that I cannot burn off or snip off the loose threads as that would create a hole in the material. The only way to fix is to pull the loose loop/thread through the inside of the sweater and secure.

For something I’ve owned for 3 months, and have only worn a handful of times, this is not worth it. I will keep the sweater and continue wearing it, but I expect I won’t even get a full year’s worth of wear out of this until it falls apart.

Absolutely recommend this, especially in the white. I’m a small 5’3”, around 130 lbs and this is such a great piece for that size. It accentuates the wrist beautifully and it isn’t an ugly balloon sleeve.

It also drapes very beautifully across the torso and hides my tummy. Its just really well constructed piece of clothing. Would recommend.

I love this sweater! The fabric has a comfortable weight, and the sweater itself fits perfectly. It looks dressy or casual, depending on what it’s paired with. I thought the sleeves would bother me, but they don’t fly around and get in the way as some do – perhaps it’s the weight of the fabric.

I really like this piece and will wear it in many different ways.

I bought a similar North Face top from a local store. It was a crew neck and was purple. I loved this so much and searched your site and found the teal mock turtleneck. I really love it! It’s very soft and comfortable.

I can wear it hiking but can also wear it grocery shopping. I have already received several compliments on this top.

I love this shirt! I bought it a size up for an oversized look and it’s perfect with leggings or jeans. You can dress it up or be completely cozy and casual. I recently changed into it after a day of skiing and I was comfortable and warm.

Just make sure you don’t put it in the dryer. The material shrinks a little but easy to stretch back out. 10/10!.

Ordered the silver color, which is a really pretty silvery green color. I love that it is not long, it comes to just above my hip bones. For reference I am 5’5 & 128 lbs. I ordered the small and it definitely shrank when I washed it but fits perfectly now.

It was a little big prior. I would buy again and may order additional colors. I did also order the black crew neck which I also love.

I absolutely love this shirt. It’s sexy and can be dressed up or down with a cute pair of jeans. It’s just sexy!

A little bit of sexy with one shoulder cutout and amazingly soft material on the skin. Perfect Fall/winter wardrobe essential. Love how it goes well with jeans, leggings and skirts. Can’t wait to wear it out.

Not crazy about the green flecks. Makes it look dirty. Size was good and seems well made. It’s a Christmas present so I’ll let my niece decide if she wants to eep it.

Soft blue color . Cables are small and even Sweater is knit closely .The V neck is not too deep Looks more expensive than sale price Will look good over thin turtleneck tee

This Karen Scott is a beautiful, deep red color with a great v-neck for a slim look. It’s got a nice heaviness to it, not to much but just right. This sweater will be perfect for winter, it is soft and very warm.

If she had a duplicate in 10 other colors I’d get them all!.

I love this sweater. I work from home and got it so that I could update my WFH wardrobe. The neckline and color are professional for “video-on” meetings while the size and texture are perfect for being comfy all day.

I’m 5 months pregnant and bought my true size, which should tell you that this runs large. Last note, I was worried that it would have some itch to it (based on similar sweaters I’ve purchased). That is not the case here! Not itchy whatsoever, and I have moderately sensitive skin.

Love this sweater! Perfectly soft and vibrant in color. I like that the neckline does not rise up the neck (like a mock-neck would), but instead is a true crew neck. I ordered this sweater in blue and pink, and oddly, they were different lengths.

The pink was more of the oversized, cover-your-bum length I was wanting, while the blue hit more mid-bum/hip. Even though they are both the same size. Strange.

Love this! I’m usually an XXS in all oversized things, but a small in regular sizes. I’m 4’11 and 120 pounds. XXS was perfect. Reached about halfway down my butt and not too oversized where I was swimming in it.

It says to lay flat to dry, but who has time for that? I tumble dried on low and it was fine. It didn’t shrink, pill, or become itchy. It may have become a little fuzzier but not enough for me to really notice.

This sweater is amazing. My mom got it for me as a gift because she has it in two colors and adores it. I think I’ve worn this sweater every day since I got it. It’s sooo deliciously warm and cozy. I wear it almost every morning when I get out of bed, sometimes I wear it as my actual clothing for the day, and if not I often put it back on as part of my pajamas.

I’m here to buy it in another color, maybe two, so I can at least look like I change my clothes periodically. It’s lightweight, stretchy, cozy, super warm, and I can’t see myself getting tired of it anytime soon.

Buy one in every color! Runs perhaps a little large but it’s extra comfy when a bit oversized.

I just bought this in store. I was hesitant to buy online due to sweaters being iffy for me regarding skin sensitivity and bulkiness that I find with most sweaters. My normal shirt size is a medium, and I often buy a large in outerwear for layering purposes.

I actually bought a small in this sweater, because it’s super roomy, and the medium and large made me look larger (not the look I want). The small is still roomy, and more flattering. There is 100% no skin sensitivity or itchiness, but super soft like a cozy blanket! My only suggestion is that I’d love to have more tunic length options to wear with leggings.

I love Kuhl products, and despite spending more on a sweater than usual, I’m confident that this will last for years to come due to Kuhl’s quality. I’m looking forward to wearing this on crisp, chilly days and nights!.

if you are looking for a cozy sweater, look no futher. your perfect sweater is here. It is soft enough you don’t need anything underneath, but also big enough if you wanted to wear a long sleeve under neath for extra warmth you could.

I’ve worn this hiking on the trail to yoga to a casual walk in my neighborhood to chilly mornings in my apartment. I have never liked turtlenecks but this one is PERFECT because it is not too tight. I put runs large because I think that is the style of this sweater, i don’t think its meant to be a form fitting sweater at all.

I love the sienna color- a bit more brown than orange to me. I am delighted with my purchase.

I have purchased a couple of these at full price from Nords every year for a few years. This year there was a noticeable slip in the quality. The two new sweaters both started piling almost immediately and the bottom ribbing stretched out.

I dry clean only, by the way. The same sweaters I had bought two years earlier are both in much better shape as are the ones I bought one year ago. I would not buy them again until Vince fixes the quality issue or cuts the price.

Cashmere at this price should last a few years still looking good. (And for the record, I am a Nordstrom card holder from 1987!).

I must confess that I own this Vince cashmere sweater in every color. These sweaters don’t “pill” or cause itching or redness like some lower quality or mixed cashmere. I’ve worn these under jackets, blazers, and coats because they are the perfect weight – not too thick.

These sweaters keep me warm all on their own – and I receive numerous compliments when wearing them with a scarf.

I have several Vince cashmere sweaters I invested in and every single one has pulled after a few wears. Over $1,000 for poor quality. What a shame. They look like cheap Target sweaters now. More skimpflation- high prices for low quality.

What a shame.

Cashmere from JCrew will never be what it was. 20 + years ago, The cashmere was much much softer, did not pill so much & the trim did not lose its shape after one wash. I was able to dry it in ultra-low heat in the dryer without shrinkage.

I purchased the Larkspur blue in the store. The colour is a deeper/darker blue but I realize it depends on everyone’s computer settings. It’s a beautiful colour and for this price, the quality is, what it is.

If I want a much softer version, I’ll have to pay more and I will buy it elsewhere. Which I do. I have a few bracelet sleeve cashmere sweaters, from years past, which I miss. Women’s sweaters are flimsy & focused more on style.

There is no longer 100% lambswool ( which used to be soft & machine washable) and no alpaca. Now it’s all blends. I normally wear a small but purchased a medium for a loose fit.

3 stars is due solely to color. Spanish Marigold looks in the photos like a beautiful bright yellow with a touch of orange but is actually a bright pumpkin orange. If pumpkin orange looks good on you, you’ll love it but I was extremely disappointed when I opened the package expecting a bright yellow-orange and found pumpkin orange instead.

As far as sizing, I did not try this particular sweater on because of the color but judging by other colors of this sweater that I bought, I would say it is true to size. I am 5’6″ and 200lb, XL fits perfectly in this style.

( I usually wear XL in regular cuts or XXL in slim cuts. ) The style is slightly different from last year and I definitely prefer this years style. I do want to note that on the models, these look rather over sized but they are not.

The sweaters are thinner than they look in the photos and thinner than I would like them to be but truly, no thinner than last years sweaters.

This is my 2nd of these sweaters. This season’s version (got the flamingo and HOO BOY it’s neon. Not that I’m complaining but beware). It’s also noticeably shorter and smaller than last year’s. I size up because I want a slouchy fit, so it’s still doable but it’s an annoying shift.

My main concern is that it’s rater thin and actually quite see-through. If I wear a bright-coloured bra you can actually make out the colour through the sweater. That’s a first for a cashmere jumper for me.

Bottom line – quality and sizing seem to be shifting but I adore the rainbow palette these come in. Not common in plus sizes.

I am always cold, so these sweaters are wonderful! I tried them all on immediately after opening the box. I know LLBean tends to run a tad on the small side, so I ordered up one size. They fit beautifully except for the sleeve, which is always an issue on all sweaters I buy no matter where I buy them.

I just roll them up once. I have also heard many people complain that the neck hole was too small, but I guess by sizing up, I avoided that situation. Actually, I quite like the extra stitching around the neck because I think it will help them keep their shape when washed.

I can see myself living in these sweaters this winter. Beautifully made, nice weight, yet not bulky. Can’t wait to wear them.

The cardigan has a design flaw – it is virtually impossible to close the zipper without ripping the knitting. I have to hold the sides of the zipper wide open with one hand and very slowly and super carefully zip it up, otherwise the knitting will get caught in the zipper and pull threads.

I’ve had it only for a week or so and the knitting on each side of the zipper already has several damaged spots. There should be a narrow band of fabric on each side of the zipper so this doesn’t happen.

l will keep it regardless because I need a warm sweater and it is very comfy and great otherwise. Too bad. I am returning it.

The body fit was good on the sweater,I have plenty of room, but the arms are a little snug. I’m 5’9, 145lbs and by no means have thick arms. My arms were snug. I can only wear a tshirt underneath it to feel the most comfortable.

I have not washed it yet, so that’s to come. Otherwise I like it, and I love the color, I got the bay leaf. Another word of cautions is that the zipper did catch the yarn/material. It did stretch it out a bit, so be mindful of how you zip.

I’m at the age where up and down is a must.

It’s nice quality just never realized it was cropped. I only bought this because I couldn’t find the brown one online. I will be returning this product. Plus I knew it was like a small turtle neck and still bought it idek why.

It’s nice if it’s what you like.

Beautiful jumper, perfect sizing, perfect style. I can’t wait to wear it out! Also love how the label came on the outside of the jumper so I could try it on without having the label itch my neck like crazy, hate that haha.

But love this!.

Love this jumper, so soft and it hangs so beautifully . I will be able to dress it up or down. It goes with everything it’s simple. I also really love the colors. It’s absolutely comfortable.

Great light weight sweater for the office. I am returning for a larger size. This is a fitted sweater. I usually wear a large, I am a 38D. I like my sweaters a little loose. Fabric and quality are great for work.

Great price point for merino wool. I don’t usually have sensitive skin, but this wool was itchy. I would have to wear a t-shirt under it. The medium fit me well, but the sleeves were very long. Sadly returning.

I love this sweater! I love it so much I got one for my 2 granddaughters and best friend for Christmas. The cashmere is very soft and elegant and the cut very simple and flattering. I wear it with jeans or satin pants, and even under a casual denim overall jumper I have.

California gets a little chilly in the evenings and the ply of the cashmere is perfect as it’s not too very thick to be hot indoors. Who wouldn’t love this sweater? 5 plus stars for Neiman Marcus!.

Very thin. Even with a nude bra, it is visible; as are the waists of pants. The color is also much more ivory than The winter white in the product photo. I originally purchased the traditional crew and thought the style might be the issue as that style is a little more fitted.

The sheerness was the same in both styles even with the slightly roomier fit of the modern crew. I also purchased the black in the modern crew, though, and love it.

I LITERALLY NEVER review stuff but this, THIS SWEATER is the perfect piece for this fall/winter. It is the softest, coziest sweater you will ever own. I typically get my old navy jackets/sweaters in a M or L however, I decided to size up to an XXL in order to get that slouchy/oversized look and it’s perfect.

Even after a wash, it’s still so soft and comfy. I know listening to strangers on the internet doesn’t always work out BUT LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY YOU NEED THIS SWEATER!!!!.

I bought this sweater sight unseen except for what I saw online and the great reviews. The reviews don’t lie this sweater is a rocker. The fit is really nice and the zipper part is pretty cool because you can leave is unzipped for a sporty look or zip it up for those blustery days of winter.

I’m a fan and highly recommend. Good sweater at a great price.
