All I can think about when I say sweater weather is the SNL skit… anyone else?? But really = the moment you step outside and that first crisp breeze hits, it’s game ON for cozy layers, rich textures and all the joyful styling that comes with REAL fall temperatures. If you’re here, you’re likely someone who loves color, warmth and that perfect piece you’ll reach for again and again = just like me. As we roll into the season of comfy weekends, football-fueled Saturday errands and quiet nights in under the soft glow of autumn light, I’ve gathered a curated lineup of sweaters, all under $100, that deliver on style and ease. Let’s dive in and find your next favorite friend for fall….


The Dakota Sweater | Your new go-to for chillier days. Crafted with an all-over cable-knit texture, this ivory piece hits the sweet spot between cozy + perfectly polished thanks to its relaxed fit and hip-length cut. The crew neckline and ribbed trim bring classic structure, while the long sleeves offer effortless layering potential. It’s made from a blend of fabrics, keeping the look soft and wearable without compromising on warmth. Whether you’re pairing it with your favorite denim or sliding into leggings for a relaxed look, this sweater serves as a versatile staple that transitions seamlessly through the season!! The one you’ll want to wear on repeat because it’s just that good.


The Nancy Sweater | This sweater is an instant standout = and a total closet win AND a best seller at Avara for two years in a row! The Nancy Sweater in brown features an all-over intarsia knit floral pattern that brings just the right amount of personality with a stand collar and a half-zip closure, giving it a modern touch that makes slipping it on feel both effortless and a little elevated. With its long sleeves, ribbed trim, hip-length cut and relaxed fit, it strikes that sweet spot between cozy and put together. Made of a soft blend, it’s clearly built for comfort and wear-repeat ease. Pair it with your favorite jeans and layer over a crisp white shirt for a more styled fall outing. Its rich brown base and subtle floral detail works beautifully in neutral palettes and complements autumn’s deeper tones, making it a versatile piece you’ll reach for all season long.


The Tate Sweater | Another one I can’t get enough of??? Your new fav knit! We designed this to be bold and fabulous… with its relaxed silhouette, hip-length cut and soft all-over lightweight fabrication for fall, it brings in the perfect autumn color palette! The striped pattern adds just enough visual interest without feeling overdone, and the ribbed trim and crew neckline keep it clean and versatile. It’s part of my fall collection too so you know I personally vote for this as an instant add to cart! This sweater is yet another go-to you’ll pull out every time because it makes a statement all on its own.


The Irene Sweater | This is one of those pieces that instantly feels special the moment you slip it on. The boucle knit gives it that soft, cloud-like texture everyone loves this time of year, while the simple silhouette keeps it timeless. The relaxed shape and subtle ribbing make it feel laid-back yet still put-together… easy to wear solo now and layer later as temps drop. Another favorite select from my fall debut, it’s one of those “don’t think twice” sweaters that pairs just as well with printed denim as it does with joggers for travel days. It’s full-proof that comfort and style can absolutely go hand-in-hand and of course the bold color brightens up any dull day…


The Ada Top | This one might just be the sleeper hit of the season. It’s got that easy, preppy-meets-cool vibe I love = a soft knit with short sleeves, a flattering cropped length, and a polished collar that makes it feel a little more intentional without trying too hard. The lightweight feel makes it perfect for those in-between days when you want something cozy but not bulky and of course you know I adore the chocolate brown colorway with the gold button detail that makes it divine!! Style it with the monochromatic high-waisted Shirley jeans and sneakers for daytime errands, then swap on a heeled sandal for dinner out. It’s one of those pieces that just works — casual, comfortable, and still totally put-together.
And because we all love a little variety in our fall wardrobe, here are some other cozy options I’m loving right now. There’s a sweet sweater with a velvet bow that instantly feels whimsical and special, a classic striped knit that’s perfect for layering or throwing on with your favorite jeans, and a soft pink piece that adds just the right pop of color to neutral fall tones. Each one brings its own little personality to your sweater rotation, so you can mix, match, and layer depending on your mood [and how chilly it is outside!]. Even better, at under $100, these essentials won’t have you breaking the bank!
