Ethically-Made Sweaters That Are Perfect for Fall

Sometimes it feels as though fall has its own cult following. It’s like we’re all waiting with bated breath for that first morning chill so we can sip Pumpkin Spice, throw on a chunky blanket and pick apples to our heart’s content.

Well, I’m not always on that bandwagon. As a lifelong New Englander I’ve learned that the leaves disappear all too soon into snow-topped trees. But one way of embracing these changing tides is by prepping my closet with all things cozy. So, being an advocate for brands that adhere to ethical standards, I’ve scouted the best sweater styles from eight admirable companies.

Check out the best options below (in a range of price points) that’ll let you buy with confidence and spend the next few months in serious comfort:
