Fashion Editors Know These 3 Retailers Make the Best Sweaters

If I had to synthesize where our editors get their fall sweaters, three retailers immediately come to mind, the first being J.Crew. In general, J.Crew is known for its expensive-looking basics, and with a dedicated section called The Cashmere Shop that has under-$200 knitwear. Then there’s the popular rollneck sweaters, which I wore on repeat last year, and my colleagues Eliza Huber, Bobby Schuessler, and Lauren Eggertsen also own—a fall wardrobe staple.

Another favorite of Schuessler and Ana Escalante is COS, which has a sweater that went viral for being compared to the cult-favorite Ophelia from The Row. Now, many of us are eyeing its V-neck sweater in the biggest color trend of fall 2026: royal purple.

And then there’s Nordstrom, which has its own in-house cashmere line, all under $200. Below, shop sweaters from each retailer for the season ahead.
