Best H&M Sweaters 2025

Sweater season at H&M is a gold mine for the budget shopper. I've been quite impressed with the brand's options under $50. That said, I've included a range of cool options from $25–$140. On the more luxe end, H&M has pretty mohair-blend options that are perfect if you want a wallet-friendly sweater with an elevated feel. You can expect everything from cable and rib knits to zebra, argyle, and striped prints ahead.

Best COS Sweaters 2025

COS sweaters are probably the best option for shoppers who are looking for an alternative to a luxury brand like the Row. With the utmost elevated feel, silhouettes, and fabrications, COS sweaters are pure sophistication. While there are a few items for under $150, many of the sweaters are in the $250–400 price point, making some of these styles a little bit of an investment for the budget shopper. That said, if these are in your price range, you'll be more than pleased and love each item for years to come.
