We Found The Coziest $39 Sweaters That Won’t Itch–EVER

Uniqlo is our favorite stop for elevated basics (they make the world’s best white tee, for example.) And the winter is really the Japanese-based brand’s time to shine: sweaters are their thing!

While they’re definitely known for their $75 cashmere, to be honest, their lambswool and merino sweaters are on point, too.

Who doesn’t want a $39 sweater–especially for holiday gifting? This editors suggests that you consider their more affordable knitwear options: the extra fine merino and 100% lambswool. Just like the premium cashmere, they look and feel a lot more expensive than they really are.

In fact, the lambswool ones are SO soft to the touch and never itch. Ever.

Their new lambswool formula is made with extra-fine fibers that are 1/4 the size of a human hair strand. This makes the sweaters *so* soft. Plus, material is thick and warm, so it will last you through the winter. Lastly, the design is crowd-sourced: in response to customer feedback, they made it longer, with a more relaxed boxy cut. Plus, it has a nice neck detailing so it doesn’t look like “any old sweater.” It’s honestly perfection.

I found that the sweater was true-to-size, although it is worth noting that it’s a boxier style (see above). If you’re looking for something more fitted, there are plenty of other options on the site. I personally loved the silhouette, I found it to be forgiving and perfect for every day. I thought that the sweater was comfortable, definitely not itchy, and I could wear it with or without an undershirt. I loved the color–I went with the Gray and Natural because I’m so daring like that. I wore it with dark wash jeans and camel boots.
