I’ll brave the frost if my knits bring the sunshine, and these picks will encourage you to do the same. This edit is my antidote to gray skies—cheery cashmere, wool-blend, and alpaca-inspired textures that seem effortless, look polished, and, best of all, are seriously on sale. Think punchy fuchsias, zesty citrus, and fresh greens that make every coat-and-scarf combo feel like a main character moment. I combed through the racks so you can skip the doom scroll and jump straight to the deals. Many of these hero pieces dip below $200 (a few under $120, and one standout cardigan under $70), from labels I always watch when temps drop: Guest in Residence, American Vintage, A.L.C., and more. Consider this to be your winter wardrobe mood boost—versatile layers that swing from desk to dinner, couch to coffee run, and back again. Ready to brighten the forecast? Your happy place is just a pullover away.
