Though my sweater preferences usually gravitate toward mock and scoop-neck styles, affordable crewneck sweaters have been winning me over lately! These once-predictable pullovers are stepping up with structure, style and surprisingly fun details . . . and my winter wardrobe has never looked better because of it.
The crewneck sweaters on my list are certainly not your standard basics! I’m talking about flattering fitted picks, playful peplum shapes and slouchy oversized versions that are woven with refined details, putting a modern spin on a dated style. If you’re shopping for new crewneck sweaters, you won’t want to miss these 12 gorgeous iterations from Amazon, Quince and Nordstrom — starting at just $15. Like me, you might find yourself adding all of them to your cart.
