We Tried Them: 5 Of The Softest (Read: Not Scratchy!) Sweaters We’re Living In Right Now

Feeling is believing.



It can be risky business to buy sweaters online — expecting to unwrap something soft and warm, only to pull your brand new sweater over your head to find out it’s just about as comfy as wearing a Brillo pad. We’ve had that experience too many times to count, and simply refuse to go through it again. Sweaters are supposed to be plush and cuddly, yet so many of them end up being scratchy and irritating, but not if we can help it!

To make sure you don’t have to suffer through another uncomfortable winter, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite ultra-soft sweaters, guaranteed to make you all warm and cozy, and not at all itchy. Go ahead, feel for yourself.

Is it your dream to walk around wrapped in a fuzzy blanket all day? Then this is definitely the sweater for you. This luxe faux fur pullover is ultra-cozy with a fuzzy finish that’s beyond silky and not at all irritating like some furry sweaters tend to be. It has a slight sheen that’s perfect for dressing up — hello, holiday parties!

Sometimes the idea of a textured knit can make our skin crawl, but this pillowy-soft pullover basically does the exact opposite. It’s not scratchy at all, and its cushiony feel is comfy enough that you don’t have to wear any layers underneath.

No sweater collection is complete without the perfect cardigan. This open-front essential will be the most fun piece in your closet thanks to its bold and colorful pattern and fuzzy fabrication. The looped knit is perfectly cozy, and its slightly oversized silhouette lets you get all wrapped up in warmth
The BFF Cocoon Solid Crew

As plush as your favorite pair of winter socks, this crewneck sweater is the basic we all need in our closets. True to its name, it feels like you’ve been wrapped in a cozy cocoon-like hug by your best friend. It’s soft and cuddly, and it’ll keep you warm with a cloud-like texture that truly feels like a dream. This solid option is one we’ll definitely be wearing over and over, so lucky for us, it comes in a dip-dyed version too!
The Home For The Holidays Sweater

Holiday sweaters typically equate with an over-the-top festive eyesore, but not this one. With a timeless Fairisle-inspired design that evokes the snowy season, it’s a holiday sweater without being a holiday sweater, and it’s not too on-theme that it won’t easily transition into your wardrobe through the rest of the season.
