It hasn’t felt much like fall around here yet, but sweater weather is on its way. Sweaters are one of my favorite things about fall . . . and boots, and apple crisp, and . . . well, let’s stick to sweaters for today.
I stopped into Ross last week to see what they had for fall sweaters, and I hit the jackpot. Popular sweater trends this year are fringe, capes/ponchos, sweater coats, waterfall cardigans, and vests. I was thrilled to see that the selection at Ross was right on point. Take a look.
This ribbed waterfall cardigan ($29.99) in a gorgeous burnt orange practically screams fall. I wore it over a black tank, but it would also work well over brown or ivory. The tan ballet flats ($15.99) are also from Ross. They have a faux shearling lining that makes them super cozy. When it gets colder, I’ll wear this outfit with ankle boots or riding boots.
This charcoal grey poncho ($19.99) incorporates two trends — fringe AND the poncho that is so popular right now. I love a poncho. It makes me feel like I’m snuggled up under a blanket all day long. I wore it over a black tank, but I’ll wear a long-sleeve t-shirt underneath when it gets colder. The jeans ($16.99) are also from Ross. I love pairing plum with charcoal grey.
This hooded sweater coat ($27.99) has such gorgeous detailing in the knit, and it’s a great piece for dressing up or down. I paired it with jeans, but it would also work well with ponte pants for a work environment.
I shudder to think that I almost left this one on the rack! I absolutely adore this hooded waterfall sweater vest/cardi . . . I’m not even sure what to call it, but it’s adorable and perfect for these early fall days.
What fall sweater trend are you most excited about??
I wrote this post in partnership with Ross Dress for Less. All text and opinions are 100% mine.
Love all your sweater picks- especially the ribbed waterfall cardigan – so great how all these sweaters are so versatile and can take an outfit and make it pop!
Aw, thanks! I definitely hit the jackpot on this shopping trip.
My fall wardrobe is dying for an overhaul and I love how fun and fashionable all of these are! I’ve been wanting a poncho for ages and I love the longer vest options with unique cuts ~ great looks as always Jo-Lynne!
Thanks, Molly!!!
I’m going to have to look for one of those cardigan/vest watcha-callits. We don’t get a lot of super cold weather here on Florida so that would be just heavy enough for winter.
Yes, that’s why I like it. It’s perfect for right now when it still gets warm in the afternoons.
You look gorgeous in a cozy sweaters Lady! I need that poncho!
Thanks, Jill! xo
Beautiful! my favorite is the blue/periwinkle sweater. I don’t think we have a Ross here in NJ…I’ll have to find out 😉 great finds! Have a blessed day 😉
Use their store locator. You might have one not too far away!
You look great in all the outfits. My favorite is the burnt orange sweater…..color looks fantastic on you.
Thanks, Lisa! That’s my fave too.
Love all of these!!! And can’t say there’s one trend in particular I’m excited about – I just love that I can wrap myself up soon 😉
Btw, the burnt orange colored one looks fab on you!
Thanks! I love that one too.
My favorite is that periwinkle coatigan! Question about the poncho–I find they always move backwards to choke me… how do you keep a poncho from moving too much?!
Yeah, well, I had it positioned so a little bit of my black t-shirt was showing in the V-neck, but as I moved, the poncho moved back, and it looks a bit empty. So yeah, I don’t have a good answer for that, lol. I do prefer ponchos with sleeves. They stay in place better. But this one was to cute to resist. 🙂
OO! Love the poncho and hooded sweater vest! Fall clothes are THE BEST.
Thanks, Corine! I so agree. I love styling outfits for fall. 🙂
My favorite thing about fall is sweaters – loved this post and all the looks!
Thanks, Dawn!
I absolutely love these sweater options for fall! Thank you so much for taking the time to style them for us! Everyone of them look great on you!
That hooded best thing needs to be in my closet…if it ever gets below the 80s and 90s here in Texas!
Adorable choices! My favorite is the fringe poncho! I love a good ROSS find…

Jo-Lynne, I love all of them and I am thrilled that you found them at Ross. I don’t know which I like the best, but I do know that I will be going into a Ross store tomorrow after physical therapy. Thank you!
God Bless!
Great sweaters, love so many of these looks.
PS I have a linkup on Thursday ( A Labour of Fashion) Please come join the fun
Outrageous prices. I had guessed at least $80 on that orange beauty.
LOL! At first I thought you meant you thought the prices were high. 🙂 They are great, aren’t they!??
Oops, yep. I see how you got that. No the prices are incredibly low. I’ll have to go over and see what my store has!
I love all those sweaters so much. I’m a fan of the long sweater trend… so cozy.
Have you tried Zapple Crisp yet? Yes, it’s a thing! (Think Zoodles…)
No, I haven’t. DO TELL!

Having not eaten sugar in three years this is a winner for me.
I use Swerve – but real sugar would work!
Now, the zucchini is not as sweet as apples but it mocks very well!
I think it is best reheated on day two.
Interesting! I might try that.
Great outfits! May I ask where you found the tank that you wore with the sweater coat, or if you have other suggestions for a good white tank for open cardigans?
Sure! That is from LNBF – it’s a fabulous basic white tank. http://lnbf.ca/
Thank you!
Gorgeous! Could you please tell my what brand name is the hooded sweater vest?
I meant the light blue hooded sweater coat!
Hey Jenelle, I’m not sure what brand it was. I don’t have it anymore.
