A Closer Look at The Best Plus-Sized Sweater Jackets
Lands’ End Women’ Plus Size Fine Gauge Cotton Button Front Blazer Sweater
Lands’ End has had their fleece sweater blazer (below) 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.
Karen Scott Shawl Collar Curved-Hem Cardigan
If you’re looking for something really affordable and comfortable with a lot of polish, this open-front cardigan has been a reader favorite for YEARS. It’s a lot less structured than a lot of sweater blazers and jardigans, but the vibe is the same.
It comes in many colors in regular, petite, and plus sizes, and it’s $49-$54 full price. This one goes in and out of stock all the time, especially as it often dips pretty low on sale — all links are good as of Oct. 2023.
Talbots Ribbed Shawl Collar Blazer
Talbots is always a great place to look for plus-size sweater jackets, particularly if you prefer plus-size petites, which can be really difficult to find. 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.
Lands’ End Fleece Sweater Blazer
Lands’ End just came out with this fleece sweater blazer recently, so I haven’t tried it yet to see the fit and feel of the fabric. It comes in a TON of sizes in regular, plus size, petite and tall sizes, and it’s currently $39-$89. Nice. They have a longer version too if you prefer something that hits mid-thigh.
