I Just Tried On So Many Good J.Crew Sweaters—These 5 Are Keepers

Sweaters are one of the hardest-working garments in my wardrobe, which is why they take really long vacations in summer. (Ba-dum-tss!) Jokes aside, I am a woman of very good knits, and every fall, I love the thrill of adding a few new sweaters into my daily outfit rotation.
While scouring J.Crew's site this month, I noticed so many luxurious-looking options that I just had to try for myself. I've been a longtime fan of J.Crew's cashmere and knits, and this fall's lineup does not disappoint. Below, you'll find five of my favorites of the season that I fell in love with—whether it's because of their comfort, softness, color, silhouette, versatility, or classic style.
If you're looking to add a new sweater or two into your closet, J.Crew's offering should not be missed.
There's something about a relaxed navy sweater that's classic, timeless, understated, and it oozes French-girl vibes. I've been seeing iterations of the basic on cool Parisians this season and have been keen to emulate their look. J.Crew's Cashmere Relaxed V-Neck Sweater hits the spot perfectly. The sweater is super soft and comfortable and is made of 100% cashmere. I love the relaxed, effortless fit that makes it easy to dress up or down. I'll be wearing this elevated basic on repeat this season and can't wait to pair it with a brown suede jacket or bag. So chic.

I'm obsessed with luxurious-feeling textures, so you can understand why I was immediately drawn to J.Crew's Brushed Cashmere Cardigan. Its soft, fuzzy finish is gorgeous, but it's the chic double-breasted silhouette that feels elevated and unexpected. I would definitely recommend styling this with its matching knit camisole or a silky camisole. You can also wear it as is and dress it up with a sparkly tennis necklace and heels for a look that's perfect for the upcoming party season. This is the kind of sweater that feels really special and is easy to wear day or night.

I've been looking for a simple and luxe-looking dark-gray crewneck sweater that I can style with just about anything in my wardrobe, and J.Crew's relaxed crewneck sweater fits the bill perfectly. It's warm, soft, and beautiful and isn't too heavy—one of those knits I know I'll wear for years to come. This one has a relaxed fit you can easily style over another layer. It looks great with white jeans, but I also love the idea of styling this with a sheer or embellished skirt for an evening out. If you're in between sizes, I recommend sizing down.
Shop:
Over here at Who What Wear, we're all obsessed with J.Crew's Lady Jackets that exude that rich Upper East Side vibe, so I love that the brand now has a sweater iteration for a softer look. This is the perfect sweater to throw on when you want to look polished and put-together for work or an event. It's the color, though, that has my heart. It feels altogether on-trend for the season. Pair this with jeans and simple pumps for a look that feels super luxe.
Shop:
My favorite color trend of the season is olive green, so I couldn't wait to snap up this classic cashmere crewneck in this rich hue. This has a slightly more fitted silhouette compared to the relaxed crewneck sweater mentioned earlier, which makes it great for layering. It's incredibly soft and comfortable but also versatile. This color is so easy to style with a whole host of other colors in your wardrobe, and I'm particularly loving it with dark brown and burgundy.
