Looking Rich on a Budget Is My Forte—30 Luxe-Looking Sweaters I'm Loving RN

Grace O'Connell Joshua  Tue, 14 Nov 2023  Who What Wear

If there is one thing I love, it’s looking rich. I’m not ashamed to admit it. I love all things luxe looking, and when it comes to fall/winter fashion, that means focusing on getting my hands on some really high-quality knits and sweaters. Sweaters can cost a pretty penny, but luckily for the both of us, finding items that look pricier than they are is one of my superpowers. I wanted to find the chicest, most polished, luxe-looking sweaters on the market but all under $200.

With some of my favorite retailers such as Nordstrom, COS, and Reformation offering so many affordable options, finding great pieces that fit into my under-$200 budget was easier than you might think. I found all of the sweaters for all of the things. Date-night knit? I’ve got you covered. Sweaters to wear to the office? No problem. Knits to wear for a night in with friends in January? Already picked out two.

Keep scrolling to see which 30 under-$200 luxe-looking sweaters and knits I have my eye on for this upcoming season.

Pictured above, I wore this sweater on a trip with friends upstate and it was a huge crowd-pleaser. Pair it with trousers, denim, or a skirt. 

COS knows how to make a good cozy turtleneck sweater. 

I'm such a fan of a pink cashmere sweater. 

Scarf-jackets and -knits have been trending, and I'm very into Zara's take. 

I'd pair this sweater with jeans and boots. 

Pair with a bodysuit or long-sleeve. 

The type of turtleneck to wear to drinks with friends.

For those of us who love a pop of red. 

This is a perfect office-day cardigan. 

A striped sweater is just an obvious yes. 

A great travel-day knit. 

I'm loving the neckline on this Free People sweater. 

A date-night knit. 

I'd pair this with leggings for a travel day. 

I love a good two-piece sweater set. 

If cropped cardigans are your thing, look no further. 

Free People's cardigan game is next level if you ask me. 

Off-the-shoulder sweaters are so flirty to me, and I'm really into this Treasure & Bond one. 

Wear it on its own or throw it over your shoulder. 

The Boyfriend Sweater from Reformation is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm into this sunny yellow version.

Cozy cashmere under $200? I'm in. 

Easy and classic. 

If open-front cardigans are your thing, try this one. 

Perfect to pair with jeans or trousers. 

Pretty in pink. 

Now this has major rich-person vibes. 

This Zara sweater is called the Basic Knit Sweater for a reason. Wear it on its own or as a layering piece. 

It's the chocolate-brown hue for me. 

Cable-knit crew-neck, anyone?

I'm a huge fan of a good wool-blend sweater.
