Warm, comfortable and cosy: the autumn/winter 2026 sweaters you’ll never want to take off

The time has come, that time when all we want is to wrap ourselves in a warm, soft sweater to accompany us throughout the day. Now that temperatures have dropped and the cold is beginning to make itself felt, wearing a garment like this becomes the guilty pleasure of our days.

But be careful: the fall winter 2026 version is not your usual sweater. This season’s collections have transformed it into a statement piece featuring jewel details, lurex threads, cable-knit designs and vintage-inspired patterns. 

In this guide, we’ll tell you not only which styles to focus on—and which you won’t want to take off—but also recommend how to style them from morning to evening and for every occasion.

The turtleneck, the timeless classic reinvented

There is no winter without a turtleneck and vice versa. It is the most versatile knitwear garment there is, ready to be brought out as early as the fall days. Why do we love it so much? It’s perfect under a blazer for the office, ideal beneath a coat on colder days, and works perfectly on its own with a pair of jeans at the weekend. This year, however, the classic high neck becomes even more interesting in ribbed versions, with puff sleeves, buttons and open necklines. There is also a cropped cable-knit wool version, perfect for pairing with high-waisted trousers and skirts.

The oversized sweater, the comfortable and super-cozy evergreen

Roomy, soft and enveloping, like a hug. The oversized sweater is the ultimate comfort piece that cannot be missing from your fall winter 2026 wardrobe. This year, it stands out even more thanks to its details: a V-neckline, a bow-effect knot at the back and 3/4-length sleeves that show off your wrists and bracelets. You can wear it however and whenever you like: at home with leggings, at work with cigarette trousers, a pencil skirt or a pair of straight-leg jeans. And if you want to add an extra touch to your look, tuck it into your trousers to define your waist.

Jacquard, stripes and sleeveless styles: the charm of the vintage sweater

Another trend for fall winter 2026 is a return to the past. Sweaters come in multicoloured stripes, diamond-patterned jacquard designs and geometric motifs reminiscent of 1970s wardrobes. Don’t miss the sleeveless style—the knitted vest to wear over a blouse or turtleneck to create layered looks with a slightly collegiate and slightly vintage feel.

Beyond the sweater: the cardigan

If there’s one garment you’ll want to wear in every possible way this year, it’s the cardigan. Long and open, with a chevron pattern, it can be worn like a lightweight coat over a dress or turtleneck. Shorter and more intricately crafted, it becomes a bon ton version to pair with a midi skirt. And for those who love bohemian style, there’s the fringed jacquard cardigan, to wear with jeans and cowboy boots for a country-inspired and super-chic look.
