The girls on TikTok are obsessed with this sweater and it's not too hard to see why. It's made of the kind of crazy soft, fuzzy material typically reserved for blankets, so you know this one is comfortable. It also features an oversized fit, so you have room for layering not to mention it looks fabulous with slim-fitting jeans or leggings. Throw on a pair of chunky Uggs and you've got the TikTok fashion girl look down.
What We Love: Comes in 28 colors and prints; very soft.
What We Don't: Hand-wash only.
Customer Review: "Beautiful, gray sweater which is the perfect weight for cold northern falls. This can be dressed up for work or dressed down for a more casual look. Great quality and super soft! This is tall girl friendly ladies!"
This is the kind of chunky sweater that you'll reach for on a weekly basis without even thinking about it. And over 1,500 five-star reviews can’t lie—this sweater is nearly universally adored. The silhouette runs long to hug your butt, but will definitely shrink if you wash it and put it in the dryer (naturally). To keep it in its oversized condition, you should hand-wash it and let it air-dry. For an easy look for winter, style your sweater with brown over-the-knee boots and black leggings.
What We Love: Runs true-to-size; top-rated on Amazon.
What We Don't Hand-wash only; only comes in three colors.
Customer Review: "A nice comfy sweater that's warm! The fabric isn't extremely soft but it isn't scratchy either. If you want an oversized look I recommend sizing up one. The fabric is also a bit stretchy as well." — Amazon
This lightweight knit and oversized sweater comes in tons of different colors and prints—18, to be exact, including a few festive red and green options—and you'll find yourself wanting all of them.

This adorable striped chunky sweater from Dokotoo comes in a whopping 27 different colors. It has thousands of glowing five-star reviews, with one shopper even dubbing it "the best sweater on Amazon,” bar none. Other glowing reviewers recommend choosing your normal size when shopping. A few other tips that I found for you in the massive comments section: This sweater lasts better if you air-dry it! The only downside is that it’s made to be hand-washed only, so don’t drop it in the washing machine!
What We Love: Comes in 27 colors; top-rated on Amazon.
What We Don't: Handwash-only; air-dry preferred.

Other Sweaters on Amazon We Love
If you want something a bit different to add to your sweater rotation, might I suggest a zippered sweater? Influencers across Pinterest and TikTok can't stop wearing the look, and I'm a huge fan.

What We Don't: Could be more size inclusive.
Customer Review: "I love this sweater! I got two colors. They’re super flattering and cozy, perfectly oversized. Very thick and warm. Fabric is really soft. I always have an issue with some thicker sweaters making my feel itchy but these don’t at all.
A friend of mine sent a single picture of her wearing this sweater and my group chat immediately popped off, so you know it's a good one. After my friends and I hounded her with questions, she said it was "so comfy" and described it as an "elevated sweatshirt." She even said she would buy it in another color if it were to go on sale again, so of course, I sent her a text to tell her it was half off for October Prime Day.
What We Love: Comes in 33 colors and prints; very warm; machine-washable.
What We Don't: Some reviewers say it runs large.
Customer Review: "Good quality and comfortable. Wear often and get a ton of compliments. Looks great French tucked into baggy jeans or a long skirt. Great price too." — Amazon

Plush, cozy, and sexy—those are three adjectives that reviewers often use to describe this crisscross sweater. You can purchase it in a solid color like this light brown option or buy one that comes in a funky color-blocked pattern, though the solid versions will be easier to style. Plus, every time you wriggle out of your winter coat, you'll know that the sweater's distinct design at the back will be a crowd-pleaser.

Customer Review: "Been looking for this type of sweater in malls and have failed to find it so I turned to online shopping crossing my fingers. It's just as pictured! Material isn't super soft, but it isn't itchy. It's comfortable but won't keep you super warm in cold winter weather." — Amazon
Who says winter sweaters can't be a little sexy and also warm? This cropped version from Zaful proves that both can be true. The cropped length shows a peek of skin and accentuates your waist, while the high neckline and thick ribbed neckline will keep you warm—it's a win-win. With this sweater, you'll no longer need to tuck the hemline of your other favorite knit into your bra for a cropped look (I've been there before).

What We Don't: Some reviewers note the fit is a little too boxy.

The cropped fit pairs well with high-waisted pants, making it a versatile piece for my fall and winter wardrobe. The white color is crisp and clean, and it holds up well after washing. I’m very happy with this purchase!"
For those weird-weather days where it's somehow both hot and cold at the same time, opt for this lightweight ribbed knit from MEROKEETY. It comes in 23 other prints and colorways and features a sleek fitted design.

What We Don't: Some reviewers said it pilled after the first wash.

I may have found the perfect sweater to pair with your leggings. This find has a longer-than-average hemline—think tunic-length—and a split hem that completely covers your bottom, making it the ideal top to go with skinny jeans (yes, those are a fall denim trend again) and leggings. The neckline is extra thick and high to keep you warm on chilly days, too. To dress this knit up, all you have to do is throw your hair in a slicked-back bun and add some chunky hoop earrings for instant polish.
What We Love: Comes in 31 colors; machine-washable; warm; thick knit.
What We Don't: May be too oversized for some preferences.
Customer Review: "This sweater is great for leggings in winter. The neck is really warm, and the shape is very flattering. Fabric is soft and weighty and of very nice quality. It is clearly oversized yet not to the point of needing to size down."
I don't know about you, but the perfect sweater to me is two things: warm and as close to wearing a blanket as can be. This cardigan checks both of those boxes. The sherpa-like knitted material and oversized fit means wearing this cardigan feel just like being swaddled in a blanket, only it's socially acceptable to leave the house in it. Another bonus? It has pockets, which you can never have too many of.
What We Love: Comes in 23 colors; has pockets; machine-washable.
What We Don't: Some reviewers note the colors do not match the on-site description.
Customer Review: "I bought this for an Alaskan cruise I just took. It was exactly what I was looking for! It is oversized and I was able to wrap it around to keep me warm while sitting on the deck!! I am so very pleased!!!" — Amazon

I know Knives Out came out five years ago, but I still can't stop thinking about Chris Evans' iconic cable knit sweater from that movie (it was the pop culture moment of 2019).

What We Love: Comes in 14 colors; versatile style; fits true to size.
What We Don't: Hand-wash only.
Customer Review: "Love the color and texture. It is surprisingly soft. I wanted a versatile piece for fall that could be dressy or casual. I am happy with my purchase."
