Sweater weather has arrived, and this year we’re stocking our wardrobe with minimalist knit pieces that look and feel much more expensive than they actually are. The key to finding the best designs is looking for those made from a wool blend. Amazon has plenty of options that are $50 and under, and many of them look (and feel) like they could be triple the cost.
It’s time to stay chic while keeping warm this fall, winter and beyond. Check out the following knitwear, all of which could pass for luxury designer — without the outrageous price tag.
