Top 7 Branded Sweaters You Should Try In This Winter
Is there anything more luxurious, soft, and effortlessly stylish than a premium sweater? Arguably not. Crafted from the finest materials, high-quality sweaters offer unmatched warmth, comfort, and sophistication—making them a must-have for the colder months. Whether it’s the rich texture of cashmere, the durability of merino wool, or the cozy embrace of alpaca blends, a well-made sweater elevates any winter wardrobe.
Once considered a seasonal staple purely for chilly days, today’s premium sweaters go beyond just keeping you warm. With modern designs, lightweight yet insulating fabrics, and versatile silhouettes, these sweaters effortlessly transition from casual outings to refined occasions. Whether you’re layering up for a frosty morning or styling a statement knit for a night out, investing in the right brands ensures you stay both cozy and stylish all winter long.
#1 LL Bean: Women’s Cable Sweater, Crewneck
L.L.Bean is the classic choice if you want a traditional cable-knit sweater. The brand’s is made entirely of machine-washable organic cotton and is affordably priced under $100. Avila mostly wears hers layered with a white T-shirt because you can barely see through the knitting. “If I’m wanting to lean more into the prep aesthetic, it has enough room to layer with a button-up, too,” she says. While it has some heft to it, the cotton is much lighter than other wool cable-knit sweaters and is pleasantly breathable. It comes in a wide range of sizes, including plus and petite options, and five colors.

#5 Everlane: The Cocoon Crew in Alpaca
If you’re looking for a less expensive straightforward pullover sweater, go for Everlane’s cozy alpaca-fleece sweater. We’ve linked the newest version of the longtime favorite Cocoon Crew. It’s “lightweight but still really warm, and the slightly fluffy texture reminds me of the angora sweaters my mom used to wear,” says Mia Leimkuhler, our former senior manager of audience engagement (and self-confessed Everlaneologist). Avila also owns this sweater and loves its fuzzy look and texture. “It feels a bit trendy, but its classic cut makes it a piece I can see myself wearing for years,” Avila says. Compared to the Alex Mill, it’s definitely breezier, but it’s incredibly easy to layer with because of its oversize fit. It comes in nine colors and sizes XXS to XXL.

#7 Naadam: The Original Cashmere Sweater Women's
Naadam offers good-quality cashmere at an affordable price. The brand offers a wide selection of 100 percent cashmere sweaters, including turtlenecks, mock-necks, cardigans, and more. Its best-selling product, the Essential, comes in at just $75 and is a classic crewneck. I’ve had mine for about six months now, and it’s gotten plenty of wear. Whether I’m running errands around town or heading to a Pilates workout class, I can easily pair it with jeans or bike shorts. It’s soft without being mushy, but it does have a slight slickness to it. Though it’s subject to pilling, it’s nothing a cashmere depiller can’t handle. Kate Mullin, director of brand marketing and global communications at Anine Bing, loves the brand for “the quality, the color variety, and, best of all, the prices.”
