To make sure you're getting the most bang for your buck, we tapped Reviewed’s apparel expert, Jamie Ueda, for her best tips and tricks when it comes to choosing a quality garment that won’t pill, rip, or feel scratchy on the skin. While Jamie notes that much of it really boils down to personal preference, as some will love cashmere while others are fine with good old cotton, she gave us two important tidbits of information to keep in mind when seeking out a sweater that will stand the test of time. “I would recommend that people stay away from sweaters that have a blend of more than two fibers because they can be more prone to pilling," she advised.

It's also important not to ignore care instructions. “More delicate fabrics require laying flat to dry or are dry clean only, so if you prefer to throw everything in the washer and dryer, you may want to stay away from those," Jamie said. Otherwise? Your perfect fall pick might not last to the following season. Scroll through to check out the best sweaters you can get on sale right now!
