I Spent a Full Afternoon Scrolling Through Sweaters—These 30 Are the Prettiest

Allyson Payer  Thu, 05 Oct 2023  Who What Wear

If one of your favorite compliments to receive is "I love your sweater," it's understandable that you'd click on this story. I promise you won't be disappointed. I love sweaters and am anxiously awaiting cold weather to wear them again. In the meantime, I'm shopping for them, which the internet is making very easy to do.

When it comes to pretty sweaters, my personal favorites are those that are sort of subtle. I don't think a pretty sweater has to be stereotypically pink or shimmery (although I've included a few standout versions of those). More unconventionally pretty sweaters are what really catch my eye—those that you know are pretty, but you can't really put your finger on why. Whatever your favorite type of "pretty" sweater is, you're likely to find it in this roundup. Scroll on to shop my knitwear favorites before the frost hits the ground.

I think about this fluffy cardigan situation on a daily basis.

I wish I was wearing this right now.

The silver trend gets the knitwear treatment. 

It's not easy to make a striped sweater feel fresh, but Massimo Dutti did it.

Dôen sweaters are practically collector's items.

For that ballerina look.

So cool and special.

I love the texture on this one.

I'd keep it simple and wear this with jeans and ballet flats.

Honestly, what's not to like?

Get it before it sells out.

I have a thing for Fair Isle sweaters, especially when the colors are this pretty.

Color-blocking at its coziest.

Subtle shimmer for the win.

The shape of this is what makes it pretty.

This one's fun.

I just really love this color.

Off-the-shoulder sweaters are having a moment.

Khaite's cult-favorite cardigan comes in a new color, and it's perfect.

Into this neckline for a cardigan.

This sweater is so good I included it in the lineup twice—sue me.

Can you see why this is my favorite brand for sweaters?

There are so many cool ways to style this.

Such a chic way to wear color.

Toteme sweaters always have the best details.

If "Lavender Haze" were a sweater…

Everyone needs a "fun" sweater.

Butter yellow is the *other* It color of the season.

I love Ciao Lucia sweaters as much as I love its dresses.

Last but not least, this pastel dream sweater.
