Spring & Summer

Best Spring Sweaters Under $50 at Amazon: Try on Haul

Spring may be here, but for many of us, including me, it’s far too early to start wearing sleeveless tops and breezy sundresses.

While I wait for temperatures to climb and spring showers to end, I wear thinner, more lightweight sweaters. Here are some favorites from my Amazon haul, and they’re all under $50!

1. Nautical Striped V-Neck Sweater

One way I like to transition into spring and summer is with a cute nautical look, and this V-neck blue and white striped sweater is perfect for that. It’s such a versatile piece in your wardrobe—a proper Amazon Essential.

Wear it with jeans, dress pants, or even a skirt!

2. Pink Polo Sweater

This is definitely one of my favorites for this time of year. It’s a soft, fitted polo sweater with a beautiful collar and gorgeous cable knit detail. It comes in several colors and looks fantastic with jeans. I love the collar and the way it frames your face. It’s such a nice step up from your average v-neck or crew-neck sweater.

3. Striped Cardigan

This classy neutral cardigan has got to be the perfect length, not cropped, but not so long either that it looks frumpy. I love the relaxed, slightly oversized fit and how soft it is. It’s the perfect cardigan to ease on into spring, and summer would be great going into fall, too!

4.  Rippled Spring Sweater

We often forget about texture, but this cute sweater with wavy ripples is a good reminder of how great it can make a sweater look.  It’s the perfect little top to wear with jeans or under a jacket.

I also have this wavy sweater in off-white, which I find handy because it is the perfect layering piece.

5. Rose Cardigan

I get chilly in the summer in air-conditioned restaurants and planes. This lightweight, no-button cardigan is a favorite.

It’s a gorgeous rose color (but comes in many others) and is comfy and casual. It can be worn with a lacy tank and black dress shorts. These snake-print slides add fun edginess.

6. Striped, Cropped Cardigan

This elegant Chanel-style cardigan works all year round but is perfect to wear with black pants as you move into spring.

Leave it unbuttoned and open, exposing a tee. Then wear it in the summer, indoors at the office, or in the evenings when it cools down. The gold buttons are so classy.

7. Short Sleeve Sweater Jacket

This classic Chanel-style sweater is pure class and perfect for the warmer weather with the light knit and short sleeves. You should wear it buttoned up as a top or layer with a tee underneath and wear it open like a sweater jacket. I love this chic look anytime!

8. Puff Sleeve Knit Summer Top

I love this delicate puff-sleeve knit, which is very fine and soft, thanks to a bit of cashmere thrown in. A V-neck is always flattering because it opens up your chest and elongates your neck, making you look lovely and tall.

As you know, puff sleeves are in style, but I’ve been careful about wearing them. I don’t want to look like a Disney princess my age!

A knit top like this is an excellent way to try the trend. The puff sleeves are small and look pretty without being too girly.

To make the lavender sweater pop, I paired it with these Levi straight-leg black jeans and black sandals. I hadn’t worn these in years until I ordered them, and I was pleasantly surprised to rediscover this iconic brand.

9. Stripes with a Twist

Black and white is always chic, but look closely, and you will see that these stripes are more like ribbons of textured stitches. This is another great transitional sweater that you can dress up with black pants or wear with white jeans closer to summer. It’s lightweight but warm enough for travel and thin enough to wear around your shoulders, knotted over a cute top or tee.

10. Navy Cardigan

Whether you need a cute outfit for July 4th or love a hit of patriotic red, white, and blue in the summer, this smart-looking cardigan is a great sweater to own. It’s similar to the rose one I shared earlier but has no buttons, making it a little more laid-back and casual. Pair it with a striped Amazon tee and those Itty Bitty boot-cut jeans again for an all-American summer look.

 

Your turn! Which sweater do you like? They’re all great for now and transitioning into spring, so you can’t go wrong with any of them!

  2. How do the V-neck t-shirts fit.? I’m between xl and XXL, which are sold out. Thanks, Karen

    1. Hi Karen, I’d say they fit true to size. You could try the xl. I ordered a small one, and it was small but not tight.

  3. I love you under $50 posts. I nabbed a pair of boots from Walmart! Walmart. I never thought I would find a nice pair of shoes there. Even my 16-year-old daughter thinks they are adorable. Thanks, Deborah!
