Summer is to a breezy dress what fall is to a warm sweater: it’s the embodiment of the cozy season. As the cornerstone of a solid fall wardrobe, sweaters offer a sure-fire source of comfort as the weather gets colder and the nights get longer than the days. The problem is that many sweaters can be expensive. And while there’s something to be said about the quality of a luxurious cashmere crewneck or wool cardigan, not all of our sweaters must have triple-digit price tags. Given their status as closet workhorses, sometimes it’s nice to have a few tried-and-true, inexpensive pieces that you (and your dry cleaning bill) will happily wear again and again.
The good news is that you can find a wide selection of fall sweaters under $50 at Walmart. Whether you’re looking for a classic crewneck or turtleneck top, Walmart has plenty of warm knits that won’t put a dent in your wallet after a summer of fun. It’s time to get cozy!
