Nine times out of ten, you’ll find me wearing a sweater in the fall. Why? Because they are the backbone of my quiet, luxury-focused wardrobe. Considering how often I wear them, it’s time for me to invest in something higher quality. However, I couldn’t afford the huge expense on my credit card bill in the process. Instead, I set myself a $250 budget and buy expensive-looking sweaters when they’re on sale.
There are a few retailers you can always rely on to offer high-quality, stylish knitwear at affordable prices. For example, J.Crew’s classic cable-knit sweater is something I covet every season, but it never costs more than $200. Nordstrom’s fall sale is also in full swing, and it includes tons of cashmere sweaters you can’t miss. If I want to buy a designer sweater, I can always find some luxury items in the sale section at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sweater sales. In fact, you could spend all day looking for options. Alternatively, you can keep scrolling to see my top picks – I found 18 sweaters under $250 that will satisfy all your needs in the coming months.
