Anthropologie first joined the ranks of fashion brands with plus-size offerings back in 2019 and, to be honest, it's only gotten better. Right now, the sweater selection in particular is making me want to skip a rent payment in favor of stocking up on a drawer-full of cozy new knits...or at the very least treat myself to one or two new stunners. So, here are ten of Anthro's best plus-size sweaters to add to cart ASAP.

This large, slouchy jumper comes in a range of pastels—including this pale ivory—and the sleeves look cozy enough to keep you warm for days on end. Plus, reviewers rave about the soft quality of the fabric. Sounds like the perfect winter staple to me.

Basic knitwear is fashionable in its own right, but if you're looking for a sweater with a bit more pizazz, how about this knit twofer with stunning lace detailing?

3. Maeve Martini Icon Long-Sleeve Crew-Neck Pullover Sweater

Party season is already in full swing, and I think this cheeky martini crewneck should be on everyone's radar. And not to sound like a Grinch or anything, but I'm not fond of traditional Christmas sweaters. However, the subtle cocktail motif and nearly emerald green shade on this topper are enough to get the point across. If you walk into any gatherings this season with this on your person, guests will, for sure, ask you where you got it...and if you like your drinks shaken or stirred.

"I am a sucker for a good cardigan—and this one takes the cake! So cute, so soft —SO COMFORTABLE! It's like a blanket you can wear," writes one Anthro customer. Designed from a fine Italian knit and touting an oversize profile, you'll want to snuggle in it until spring comes.

Here's a holiday-esque sweater you won't mind wearing. Boasting a boxy silhouette and ribbed mock neck (and cuffs), shoppers ensure that this is a perfect pickup for winter months, with one writing, "This is one of my all time favorite purchases from Anthro! This sweater is thick, but not heavy. The boxy fit is it right now. And the surprise is [there are] subtle neon green highlights inside the snowflake that you can’t see in the pic online unless you look very very closely. I love that pop of color!"

A good turtleneck sweater can take you a long way. And while I usually prefer mocknecks, this one is slowly but surely changing my mind. It's available in this luscious chocolate color and has a slightly oversize fit.

10. Pilcro Western Horse Graphic Cardigan Sweater

One of fall's most underrated trends, the 'Horse Girl' aesthetic has followed us into winter, and I'm not mad at it. This Western-inspired, button-up sweater is anything but subtle with a playful horse print decorating the back, and smaller horseshoe designs on the sleeves (which I'm low-key obsessed with). Reviewers note it has a slightly cropped profile, so if you want a regular or more oversize fit, I suggest sizing up.

Materials: 63 percent cotton, 31 percent acrylic, 6 percent nylon
