Summer is to a breezy frock as fall is to a warm sweater: it’s the very embodiment of the cozy season. A cornerstone of a solid fall wardrobe, sweaters provide a sure source of comfort as the weather gets colder and the nights stretch longer than the days. The problem is many sweaters can be expensive. And while there’s something to be said about the quality of, say, a luxe cashmere crewneck or wool cardigan, not all of our sweaters need to come with triple-digit price tags. Given their status as closet workhorses, sometimes it’s nice to have a few tried-and-true budget pieces you (and your dry cleaning bill) won’t mind wearing over and over again.
The good news is that you’ll find a wide array of fall sweaters under $50 at Walmart. Whether you’re looking for a classic crewneck or turtleneck top, Walmart has stacks of warm knits that won’t drain your wallet after a summer of fun. It’s time to get cozy!
