1. Our Favorite: Everyone needs a go-to cardigan, and this sophisticated version is yours. The lightweight fabric keeps you warm without adding bulk, and the rich coffee tone stuns with white, beige and black.

2. Wine Red: Sultry and sweet, this burgundy sweater makes you look like you belong in Napa — yes, even if you live in Milwaukee. We love how the refined silhouette skims without squeezing.

3. Striped Stunner: This artsy striped sweater is made with the type of fuzzy material people ask to feel. Bonus: You’ll think you’re wearing loungewear, rather than a chic fashion piece. Don’t be surprised if you wear it 24/7.

4. Preppy Pick: A polo-style collar gives this popular knit number a preppy, East Coast appeal. One happy reviewer wrote, “I own quite a bit of actual cashmere, and this captures that same cozy elegance.”
