'Tis the season for wrapping yourself up in your warmest throw blanket and snuggling up on the couch. But at some point, you will need to leave the house, and when that happens, a chunky sweater is the next best thing. This year, think beyond your basic black turtleneck. Neon designs and color-blocked striped sweaters set the scene for endless maximalist mixing and matching. Cropped cardigans and crewnecks with fun cut-outs are definitely nighttime-approved (just add heels). And if coziness remains your top priority, it's all in the materials: Cloud-like cashmere lookalikes, fuzzy finds, and fine-knit cotton are the way to go.
Whatever your sweater style, I found 20 chic (and affordable!) options at Target with easy shipping so you don't have to wait long to get your hands on new knits. Race you to the checkout!
Slick your hair into a bun to keep all eyes on this bright red number's tie-back detailing.
These days, sweater vests are so much more than Ferris Bueller cosplay—they come in a range of cuts and materials and can be worn over a turtleneck or a button-down (or just alone). This cropped cable-knit one is a dream for layering.
The bright palette of this striped sweater makes it the antidote to the grey weather outside. Wear it with a leather mini and some fleece-lined tights to stay toasty and still look cute.
Prefer something simpler? A fine knit cardigan that's free of any bells and whistles is the way to go—and since this one is super affordable, you can go the trendy route with a punchier shade.
Halfway between a preppy cardigan and a cozy sweater, this knit shrug is the best of both worlds. It's a mid-weight piece with a cotton-recycled polyester blend that means you can pretty much wear it year-round, too.
At under $30 and featuring a simple crewneck design you can style over slip dresses and jeans alike, this pullover is the ultimate basic.
If you can't get enough of the cropped cardigan trend, pick up this option to get a head start on spring pastels. It's made from 100% recycled materials, so it's eco-conscious, too.
Perfect for nights out when it's too cold to forego sleeves, this faux cashmere cardi is great for pairing with anything high-waisted in your wardrobe.
This soft mock neck has a hint of spandex in it that gives it some stretch. Just be sure to size down if you don't love a boxy fit, as reviewers call out that it runs big.
A chunky ribbed knit is always a good idea—especially when the temperatures plummet and you need something soft and warm, ASAP.
A roomy cardigan is a must for easy layering. Pick up this ultra-long one to keep in the office for when it's freezing and you need something to wrap up in that offers more coverage than your blanket scarf.
Between the subtle ribbing and tie-front detailing, it's the little things that make this otherwise basic piece stand out.
With its soft knit construction and boxy shape, this button-up sweater is the type of knit you'll be coming back to year after year.
Keep S.A.D at bay on gray winter days one piece of brightly colored clothing at a time. This tomato red pick is sure to liven things up.
Its slouchy structure makes this polo sweater the ideal thing to lounge in all weekend long. Layer on some delicate gold chains for a finishing touch.
With contrast piping that almost makes it look like a vintage letterman V-neck, this piece is made for anyone whose style leans old-school.
Play fashion peek-a-boo with a sweater that balances turtleneck coverage with a playful shoulder cut-out. Wear it with leather trousers for cocktail hour under the heat lamps.
Whether you pair this pullover with a similarly bold-colored trouser for some splashy color-blocking or keep it simple with your go-to jeans, it deserves a spot in your closet.
If bulky knits aren't your thing, opt for a slim-fit style you'll be able to wear way past winter. This basic black option is great for easy styling.
The loose silhouette (plus the lighter-weight jersey fabric) makes this V-neck a great option when you don't want to pull out the heavy wools just yet.
