Between the snow, the ice, the wind, and the cold, winter can be pretty miserable. But with a few cozy and chunky sweaters in your closet, there’s no reason to shiver through the season. Starting at a mere six dollars (yes, you read that right!), here are Her Campus’s twenty favorite sweaters:
Under $25
Earning Your Stripes
Stripes are a perennial classic for a reason – they have that adorable French je ne sais quoi and they hardly need more than a good pair of jeans to make you look like a million bucks. For this six dollar sweater, what more can you ask for? H&M, $6.18
Classic Cableknit
Think of this as the much chicer version of the sweater Grandma knitted for you last Christmas – classic style and love in every stitch. Old Navy, $22
All Patched Up
Elbow patches and a bright, punchy shade of pink help this sweater stand out from the crowd. Forever 21, $14.50
Cozy Gray
The slouchy fit and super soft contrast cableknit make this sweater perfect for studying. Toss it on with a pair of your favorite denim leggings and boots to hit the books. Forever 21, $24.80
Wear-It-All-Winter Staple
Target calls this sweater “ultra soft.” With a super warm cowl neck and a gorgeous shade of magenta, soon it’ll be your ultra favorite. Target, $20.69

Under $50
For a Good Cause
Giving has never looked so good! This athletic-style sweater is from TOMS, a company that provides shoes for children in developing countries who can’t afford their own. (While you’re at it, buy a pair of crazy-comfortable TOMS shoes, too; a second pair will be donated to a child in need.) TOMS, $44
Winter Colorblocking
Colorblocking was a huge trend for summer, but it can still work for winter. Layer this graphic sweater over a knit black body-con skirt and black tights for a sleek, trendy look. ModCloth, $49.99
That’s a Wrap!
We’ve all heard how universally flattering wrap dresses are (thanks, Diane!), but did you know wrap sweaters have the same visual effect? This one wraps at the waist with a leather buckle. Victoria’s Secret, $45.50
Winter White
Match the snowy scenery outside as you stay warm inside with this sweater and a mug of hot chocolate. (And if you choose to brave the cold, it’ll keep you warm!) H&M, $30.98
A Touch of Glam
Dorothy Perkins is a quirky, eclectic fashion powerhouse across the pond, but luckily, she ships to the U.S. How funny is this embroidered and sequined unicorn? Dorothy Perkins, $39

Under $75
Back to Basics
If you only wear one sweater this winter, keep it classic with a black cableknit turtleneck. Think basic black is a little too plain? Jazz it up with a statement necklace peeking out from under the turtleneck. J.Crew, $69.99
Borrowed From the Boys
This athletic-inspired crewneck would look right at home in your boyfriend’s closet… but it’s sized just for you. Wear it often enough and maybe he’ll want to steal it right back. J.Crew, $69.50
Show Off Your Shoulders
Think you have to stay covered up during the winter? Think again. This sexy, slouchy, off-the-shoulder style from Free People shows just the right amount of skin for a snowy night out. Free People, $68
Totally in Love
Diehard romantics, forget about wearing your heart on your sleeve. What about wearing it on your sweater? The oversized heart makes this extra-long tunic sweater sweet, not sappy. Dorothy Perkins, $57

Under $100
Cool Cat
The leopard print on this white oversized pullover is cute, not catty. Meow! Urban Outfitters, $88
Cozy in Cashmere
Cashmere is like the Rolls Royce of sweaters – totally luxurious and totally out of our price range. But this sweater is on sale for just over $75, which is a steal for a fabric as decadent as cashmere. Snap it up in one of ten colors now! Sofie, $76.80
Lovely Lemon
It’s too easy to stick to a boring, drab palette of black, gray, and navy all winter. Wake up your wardrobe with a bright yellow hoodie! Topshop, $80
Queen Midas
The metallic flecks of gold in this crewneck are going to make you feel pretty majestic. Queen Midas, anyone? Madewell, $98
Short, Sweet, and Striped
Calling all fashionistas! This sleek sweater is cropped and striped, which means all eyes will be on you. Are you bold enough to try it on? Topshop, $76
