Temperatures are dropping—sweater weather is finally here. And while we all have those knits we can’t wait to wear every year, fall’s biggest sweater trends can help breathe some new life into your seasonal wardrobe. No closet is complete without a few standout sweaters, after all.
So what knitwear will we be wearing this autumn? Summer’s fisherman trend is evolving for fall in the form of loose, chunky tops. As far as colors, quiet luxury reigns supreme and chocolate brown (and similar shades like burgundy and camel) is the clear winner. Add to that a resurgence of preppy motifs like stripes, polo collars, and argyle, often on the same garment—more is more, it seems. Shop our editors’ top fall sweater trends below—before they inevitably sell out.

Breton stripes, chunky cable knits, Fair Isle patterns—all the hallmarks of coastal knitwear are trending right now, as the fisherman aesthetic adapts to colder weather. Striped cardis and patterned sweaters will zhuzh up your office wardrobe or date-night looks, while thicker, looser picks are ideal for Sunday lounging. Keep your shell jewelry and boat shoes from this summer on hand, as they’ll pair perfectly with these preppy, laid-back finds.
