Beaded Sweater

Trick everyone into thinking that this beaded sweater is worth an arm and a leg. The metallic thread details will have in disbelief that you actually paid less than $30 for it.

Rave Review: The metallic threads and tiny little sequins shimmered against the beautiful knit. I highly recommend this gray metallic shimmery sweater. It is gorgeous, true to size, and looks great with my black satin skirt.

Eco Clover Waffle Knit Sweater

The kind of sweater you throw on just so you can hang your thumbs in your belt loops and act like you're the main character in a movie.

Rave Review: "It’s so cute, comfortable, and really cozy! If you want a baggier/looser fit, go up two sizes.

Luxe Bow Back Sweater

You'll be adorbs in one with a big bow!

Rave Review: "Love the deep wine color and the bow in the back. This will be perfect for the holidays coming and also for the fall/winter! So happy I bought this."

24/7 Split-Hem Crewneck Sweater

How about a crewneck with a split hem? The internet is going nuts about this sweater, BTW.

Rave Review: "I've been seeing this sweater trending on social media for awhile (and I personally love stripes), so during one of their sales, I made the decision to purchase it! Quality wise: Definitely worth every penny. I personally like a sweater that's heavy and yet still light."

Ribbed Crewneck Sweater

You're gonna look sooo gorge if you wear this ribbed beaut (that you can collect in so many colors) with a satin midi.

Rave Review: "I bought this last month in grey and I am obsessed. It’s so soft, lightweight, cozy, and flattering. The ribbing/knit texture and the light weight make this piece unique. I have worn it as an elevated oversized sweatshirt with leggings, or as a beautiful/classy sweater with a tan pencil skirt to work. If they made this in ivory, camel and black, I’d have it in 3 more colors. I wanted that oversized look (and am 34DD) so I sized up from my usual M to an L. Really hope Madewell keeps this in the rotation for a long time and adds more colors!"

Mona Wool-Cotton Cropped Sweater

A luxe, organic cropped sweater will always be a vibe.

Rib-knit Mock Turtleneck Sweater

Say hellooo to your new fave sweater, bb!

Rave Review: "No exaggeration—this sweater is DIVINE and is total compliment bait. It's a tried and true v-neck, cable knit sweater that already feels perfectly worn in. Also, I can't get enough of this soft mauve color. I purchased mine to be oversize so it falls off the shoulder a little bit and it is my favorite thing in my closet right now. Scoop one up while you can—I want the blue one too!"

Rizzo Sweater

A quarter zip sweater in this candy apple red is perf for the holidays. I would style with matching red pants for a fiery, monochromatic look.

Cozy Cotton Silk Pocket Henley

Lounge around or hit the town in this one—your pick. You'll get tons of wears out of it either way.

Rave Review: "This sweater is so super cozy! This will now be my go-to on crisp days. I love that the pocket has some actual depth to it and not just for appearances. It is low key functional. You will not regret this purchase. I purchased the XS/S and there is plenty of room without being overly bulky!"

Cable Easy Funnel Neck Sweater

YAY for sweaters don't don't itch or pill or snag.

Rave Review: "I’m obsessed with this sweater! It’s perfectly oversized and the material is very high quality (no pilling or snagging). It’s super warm too and is a nice medium weight! I know it’s a “tuckable” sweater, but because it’s thicker, I actually think it wears/drapes better just thrown on! I love the oversized sleeves and cozy turtleneck. I liked this sweater so much that I bought it in another color!"

Molly Sweater

Run, don't walk, and get this boucle cardi! This style is called "Lingonberry"—I had to Google what that even was lol. (I know you're a second away from opening another a tab so I'll save you the trouble. Lingonberries are plants and similar to cranberries! The more ya know, huh?)
