Sure, we all know what wardrobe essentials for work professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have.

If you're on the hunt for a great plus-size sweater jackets, look no further! There are a ton of great sweater jackets, knit blazers, fleece blazers, sweater blazers, and jardigans available in plus sizes. They can be a great layer, both for warmth and mood. A sweater jacket will dress up dark rinse denim for a business casual look… but a sweater jacket can also make something more structured (black trousers, a sheath dress) more approachable and friendly for a better “business casual” vibe.

Which are your favorite plus size sweater jackets?

Psst: We've rounded up 100+ shops for plus-size workwear, discussed which high-end brands come in plus sizes, the best plus-size suits, and generally where to find made-to-order clothing.

A Closer Look at The Best Plus-Sized Sweater Jackets

J.Crew's Schoolboy Sweater Blazer

This sweater blazer has been a huge reader favorite for years now — and it's available up to size 3X. J.Crew Factory almost always has two or three neutrals in stock, with occasional fun colors.

This isn't the only sweater blazer the store has, either — they frequently have sweater lady jackets and other sweater jackets available up to size 3X, including more relaxed, oversized options.

J.Crew Sweater Jackets

J.Crew also offers sizes up to 3X, and their sweater jacket game is also on point — and they're particularly strong with the trendier “lady sweater jacket,” which is somewhere between a cardigan and a Chanel-style jacket.

The brand also has oversized sweater jackets shaped more like blazers or coats.

Bloomchic

I'm not that familiar with Bloomchic, but this sweater looks like one of the best options if you like a strong blazer look. It's available in five colors, sizes 10-6X, for $40. Nice!

On 34th Plus Size Sweater Blazer

Macy's has a cashmere option as well as this lighter, machine washable one. As they note,

Our plus size Beyond-The-Meeting Blazer marries the ease of a cardigan with the refinement of a blazer. It's so soft, versatile, and stylish that you might just wear it all day long.

Nice. The blazer comes in four colors, sizes 0X-4X, for $79 new (but today is on sale for $56).

Lands' End Women' Plus Size Fine Gauge Cotton Button Front Blazer Sweater

Lands' End has had their fleece sweater blazer for a few years but this fine gauge cotton sweater blazer is new. It comes in a bunch of colors (plus sizes 16W-26W) for $105 (full price).

There is some strong praise from one of the reviewers: “I’ve been ordering from Land’s End for more than 30 years but this sweater is my favorite of all time. I’m going to order another one soon just to have in case this one wears out. The style, weight, material, pockets, shape, length is all perfect. I ordered a 2XL, it’s sized perfectly without being snug or baggy.” Nice!

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Plus-Size Combed Cotton Blazer

The Lauren by Ralph Lauren sweater blazer is another classic that has been around for years — Macy's, Dillards, and Zappos often have a great selection. Again, the product name changes and the exact colors change, but it's more or less been the same sweater for 10 years.

Nic & Zoe Grace Jacket

This Nic & Zoe sweater jacket is sometimes called the Grace jacket, sometimes the Jogger jacket — it's a nice thick knit material and has a bit more structure than most sweater jackets, including pockets and shoulder pads.

It's available in regular, petite, and plus sizes at Bloomingdale's and sometimes Nordstrom.

Other nice splurges for sweater jackets: this Minnie Rose sweater at Bloomingdale's, and this Eileen Fisher sweater at Nordstrom.

Talbots SWEATER JACKETS

I'll be honest: I'm a little underwhelmed at Talbots' offering for 2024/2025. But they've made SUCH a strong showing (for at least 5+ years?) that I'm keeping them in the list. Plus, they still have lucky sizes left for a lot of their older sweater jackets.

Talbots is always a great place to look for plus-size workwear, particularly if you prefer plus-size petites, which can be really difficult to find. For sweater jackets, they change the product name and a few details every year or so, but in general you can find them by searching “sweater blazer.”

(They're generally $159-$189, but keep an eye out for sales.)

While you're there check out their Charming line for cardigans and Audrey sweaters — both have been reader favorites for years.
