The Sweater Edit: Shop the 35 Best Knits Money Can Buy in 2024

For the fashion set, the start of fall and winter is marked not by the first snowfall or below-freezing temperatures but by the slow accumulation of new sweaters. From timeless cardigans to trending items like sweater-vests, there's always a new style, color, or silhouette to invest in each year.

As a self-proclaimed sweater connoisseur, I have my eye on the following sweater styles in 2024: cardigans, polo sweaters, turtleneck sweaters, statement sweaters, and classic knits. While my closet is already brimming with too many cozy sweaters to count, I plan to make space for at least two or three of these new looks this season. Keep scrolling to find the best sweaters available on the market right now.

1. Cardigans

While cardigans have been trending hard for a few years now, the timeless look is still going strong for fall in 2024. From matching cardigan sets to oversize and roomy silhouettes, there are more than a few new looks to wear this season. but the classic button-down cardigan still reigns supreme.

2. Polos

Prep is in, and polo sweaters are a big part of the look. This traditional style has been reimagined for the fashion set. You can now find a polo or half-zip sweater in every color, print, and price point imaginable.

3. Classic Sweaters

Sometimes all you need is a good no-fuss, no-frills, basic sweater. They act as the centerpiece of your fall wardrobe, so you want to make sure you pick one of these top selects as your seasonal pick.

4. Cable-Knit Sweaters

5. Statement Sweaters

The easiest fall look has to be a fun, statement-making sweater and jeans. If you've already curated your collection of simple sweaters, try adding one from below to invoke some personality into your fall looks.

6. Turtleneck Sweaters

When the temperatures start to seriously drop, turtlenecks are a savior. Plus, they always look incredibly chic, regardless as to what you're wearing them with. I've seen them look incredible styled with casual leggings and more elevated silk trousers.

7. Hoodies

Hoodies don't always have to feel extremely casual. Recently, brands are blurring the lines between style and comfort by offering the laid-back silhouette in brushed cashmere and merino wool.
