Sweater weather has us reaching for all the cozy knits in our wardrobe, and Nordstrom is the perfect retailer for finding new additions. With loads of brands that range from affordable to luxury level, it's easy to find sweater options that fit within tight budgets or justify splurges. Aside from combing through Nordstrom's sweater inventory to include options at every price, we've also curated a variety of styles.

From cropped cardigans perfect for layering to warm turtlenecks, and even short-sleeved sweaters and sweater vests, we found options you can wear with all sorts of outfits and weather forecasts. Choose from classic styles, like a cable-knit cardigan or a striped turtleneck, or shake it up with a checkered crewneck or a sequin-trimmed, short-sleeved style that can be layered under a blazer. There are so many cute options, you might want to consider buying several. Keep scrolling to see the sweaters we're adding to our fashion wish lists for winter.
