We're in that in-between season, where it's not quite cold enough to invest in a thick, durable coat (by the time you do, it'll be too warm to wear it, anyway), but last year's sweaters are too threadbare to survive the remainder of the cold days ahead.

A sweater—and a cheap one, at that, one you won't feel bad about purchasing when temperatures rise—is key. It'll give you a gentle and loving embrace that'll keep you warm and cozy—and it'll look good doing it. When it comes to materials, you've got options. Cashmere is soft and luxurious, as is merino wool. A sturdy cotton also does the trick. And you can get any and all of them for a lot cheaper than you might expect. Acquiring a great sweater doesn't require the big bucks, so long as you know where to look.

Some fine brands and retailers are offering sweaters that cost as little as four oat lattes and will definitely last longer. So if you're loving the crisp winter air, check out the 27 stellar options below, all of which are less than $150.
