The 9 Best Cotton Sweaters of 2025Soft, Breathable, and No-Fuss
"While I'd fight him on his maligning of the chunky Irish fisherman sweater, he's 100 percent right on the fit and supremacy of this Buck Mason piece (and Samuel Beckett as a style hero). I have the (currently sold out) cardigan version, which garnered a compliment from a normally surly barista at my local pretentious coffee shop. I can't guarantee the same thing will happen to you with the crew neck, but it's worth a try."
"Listen, I'm not going to say this sweater is softer than cashmere. But it gives it a run for its money, that's for damn sure. I'm an on-the-record fan of AYR's take on outerwear, but don't sleep on the sweaters either. The price point will raise some eyebrows, but the timeless cut, soft feel, and sheer durability of the piece will have you reaching for it time and time again. Cost per wear? A bargain."
"The fact that this sweater is well under a hundred dollars is a steal for the heritage chops of Leon Leonwood Bean, the original patron saint of Gorpcore. Sunwashed and lived in, this sweater doesn't come with a beachhouse or starring turn in 90s rom com, but it sure feels like it should. Bonus points for the wide array of colors, from bright and preppy to more subdued natural hues."
Buck Mason's crew neck delivers exceptional fit and timeless design, with a cardigan variant noted for garnering compliments in casual settings. The Buck Mason sweater uses 100% yarn-dyed cotton. AYR offers sweaters with near-cashmere softness, durable construction, and a price point that reflects long-term value. Leon Leonwood Bean's heritage sweater offers Gorpcore authenticity for well under $100, with a lived-in, sunwashed aesthetic and a broad color range. Brook Brothers' V-neck tennis sweater embraces prep revival, crafted in 100% Supima cotton, pairing well with vintage jeans, battered loafers, and heavyweight tees to serve as a versatile wardrobe staple.
