Argyle is having a moment this fall. The classic diamond pattern, named after the Argyll region of Scotland, has moved well beyond preppy and into everyday style, with relaxed fits, cropped cardigans and earthy colors like brown, gray and cream. It is cozy, it is easy to layer, and it makes a simple outfit look finished.
We pulled together the argyle sweaters and cardigans our deal editors have found lately, from budget picks at $25 or less to a designer splurge. Below you will find the best styles, a few easy ways to wear them, and tips for choosing the right one.
Best Argyle Cardigans
A cardigan is the easiest way to try the trend. Wear it open over a tee or buttoned up on its own, and take it from the office to the weekend. These are our favorites right now:
Best Argyle Pullovers and Crewneck Sweaters
For a cleaner, more polished look, a pullover or crewneck is the way to go. Look for a wool blend or soft knit for warmth, and check the fit notes on each page, since some run oversized.
A Preppy Collared Argyle Sweater
If you like the classic preppy look, a collared argyle sweater delivers it without any extra layers. It works nicely under a coat and with a pleated skirt or straight-leg jeans.
A Designer Argyle Splurge
If you want an investment piece, this A.L.C. crewneck is a standout. It is a bigger spend, but the discount is steep compared to the original price.
How to Style an Argyle Sweater
- With denim. Pair a neutral argyle with straight-leg or wide-leg jeans for an easy weekend outfit.
- With a skirt. A pleated or midi skirt balances the pattern and gives a polished, dressed-up look.
- Over a slip dress. Layer a cropped argyle cardigan over a simple dress for a cozy but put-together outfit.
- Under a coat. Collared and crewneck styles layer well when the weather turns cold.
- Keep the rest simple. Argyle is already the statement, so stick to solid colors for everything else.
How to Choose the Right Argyle Sweater
- Check the fabric. Wool blends are warmer, while cotton and acrylic knits are lighter and often easier to care for.
- Think about the fit. Oversized and boxy styles feel relaxed, while fitted ones look sleeker. Read the size notes and reviews.
- Pick colors you will wear. Brown, gray, navy and cream go with most of a wardrobe. Bright argyle is fun but works best as a one-off.
- Compare the price. The same style can cost less at another store, and our picks come from places like TJ Maxx, Marshalls and Nordstrom Rack.
- Check the care label. Many knits do best washed gently and dried flat, which helps avoid stretching and pilling.

How Do You Wash an Argyle Sweater?
Follow the care label first. As a general rule, sweaters last longer when they are washed gently and dried flat, which helps them keep their shape.
