Best women's knit sweaters under $25

Top pick: the QUALFORT crewneck pullover. A plain, regular-fit crewneck is the sweater you'll actually reach for — it layers under a jacket, works with jeans or a skirt, and it's the only one here with a solid rating behind it (4.4 of 5 from 77 ratings).

Who the others suit:

• Cable knit crew — if you want texture and a classic look rather than a plain knit.
• Zeagoo ribbed tunic — longer length for leggings and a more polished office-casual feel.
• FEKOAFE striped chunky knit — oversized, relaxed fit for a casual weekend look.
• ClodeEU mock neck — a neat high neckline for colder days; note it's listed in beige, size L.
• VibHome mock neck — the budget basic, but only in black, size XS.
• Warop V-neck — lightweight and thin, better as a layer than on its own.

Skip the bow-tie knit — it's out of stock.
