I'm Retiring My Basic Sweaters for These Cozy Fall Knits From Nordstrom, J.Crew, and More-Starting at Just $19

"Perhaps the coziest of all knit styles, the chunky fisherman sweater epitomizes fall fashion. These seemingly simple sweaters carry a great deal of history in every stitch; they originated on Ireland's Aran Islands, and they've accumulated plenty of mythology. For instance, some believe that each stitch carries a different meaning, such as abundance and luck. While this sweater has Irish roots, the style looks at home anywhere in the world."

"From a laid-back fleece to luxe cashmere and smart cable-knit versions, there is no shortage of stylish quarter-zip sweaters on the market. These quarter-zips are an expensive-looking alternative to a standard crewneck, but they're just as comfortable for travel. The cozy collar can be zipped up for extra warmth on chilly flights, and this style pairs well with casual jeans and tailored trousers alike."

Fall brings cozy moments and an emphasis on knit sweaters as seasonal staples. Six major sweater trends update traditional knits for travel wardrobes, with options available from Amazon, J.Crew, Nordstrom, L.L.Bean, and other retailers. Chunky fisherman sweaters offer historic Aran stitching and versatile layering potential under vests or over button-downs. Thick quarter-zip sweaters span fleece to cashmere, present an elevated alternative to crewnecks, and provide a cozy collar for warmth on flights. Polo-collared sweaters appear in sporty and cropped cable-knit variants. Each trend emphasizes comfort, versatility, and easy styling with jeans, tailored trousers, and outer layers.
