Preppy Sweaters Style Guide

When the temperatures drop, sweaters are the first thing on our minds. We love sweaters because they are the perfect transitional piece for autumn and winter. On early fall days, you can layer a lightweight cardigan over your favorite dress or go-to denim and t-shirt combo. As the days get chillier, chunky cable knits and pullovers will become your best friend. And when full-blown winter weather strikes, you can keep warm with cozy sweaters layered beneath your coats and jackets.

From classic knit sweaters to trendy ponchos and other styles, discover your favorite new preppy sweater, women's styling tips for autumn and winter, the latest seasonal trends, and more in this preppy sweaters style guide.

Scarlett Camo Sweater

Slip into sweater weather with this super cute v-neck sweater, which features a delicate white and gray camo print. We adore camo for autumn, and the soft, neutral color scheme makes this classic print even more wearable. This sweater is light enough to be worn on an early fall day, but also looks amazing layered under a jacket for winter.

White Buffalo Check Open Poncho With Pockets

There is absolutely no such thing as too much buffalo check for autumn and winter, especially when it comes in styles as cute as this poncho sweater. The black and white color scheme is super timeless and chic! Style it with black or dark wash denim, a tucked-in black cami top, and black boots for an effortless and sophisticated cold weather look.

Randi Waffle Knit Sweater

The votes are in: it simply doesn’t get any cozier than this taupe waffle knit sweater with a ribbed turtleneck. This stylish sweater is our go-to for all of our favorite cold weather activities, from carving pumpkins and fall leaf-peeping to ice skating and snapping holiday photos. 

Striped Sweater

We love a classic striped sweater for fall, and this grey and white contrasting scoop neck sweater takes the cake. It features a classic scoop neckline and a flattering, tailored fit, so pair it with skinny jeans and booties for a look that is polished yet casual — not to mention, super flattering. Add a pair of sparkly dangle earrings for good measure.

Cozy Leopard Printed Open Cardigan

Cold weather calls for cozy vibes, and nothing beats this long cardigan sweater with a trendy leopard print. Get ready to envelop yourself in this luxuriously soft cardigan all season long.

Cable Knit Sweater

There are no two ways about it: a classic cable knit sweater belongs in the closet of every prepster. Hands down, this is one of the most comfortable sweaters you will ever own! The chunky cable knit material will keep you super warm and cozy all season long, while the removable waist tie gives you styling versatility. 

Open Front Popcorn Cardigan

This soft and plush cardigan sweater was made for snuggling. It’s the perfect piece for layering over a t-shirt and leggings on a chilly, casual autumn day, or for adding warmth to your favorite blouse and jeans. Throw on a pair of booties and dangle earrings, and you’re out the door in no time.

We have a feeling your new favorite preppy sweater is somewhere on this list. Which of these styles are you most excited about wearing during sweater weather this year?
