It's sweater season — which means we've been on the hunt for the coziest wardrobe pieces (like this beautiful tie-front cardigan or this cozy knit polo sweater from Target). And like Taylor Swift , we love a good cardigan — especially when it's on sale.

J.Crew is offering the most stunning Contrast-trim Cardigan Sweater for just $75, but make sure you use code SALETIME at checkout to apply the extra 50% off. The sweater is currently in stock in sizes small to extra-large, with the item being final sale. It features three pockets, gold-toned buttons, and a contrasted black trim for added design.

J.Crew Contrast-trim Cardigan Sweater, $75 (was $178) at J.Crew

According to customer reviews, the sweater in parchment black is true to size, "very comfy," "stylish," and a "timeless piece." The length hits right at the hip, making it the perfect go-to for jeans, trousers, shorts, and skirts (so literally anyform of pant). Plus, this J.Crew version looks eerily similar to some other high-end pieces with an increased price tag.

Gerard Darel Tweed-effect Crochet Cardigan, $255 (was $425) at Gerard Darel

This Tweed-effect Crochet Cardigan from Gerard Darel is currently 40% off, but is still $180 more than J.Crew's. The sweater offers the same straight cut with a round neck and detailed trimming. It's 100% cotton, which differs from another similar find, this luxury Tory Burch option that is made of 100% merino wool.

Tory Burch Kendra Cardigan, $548 at Tory Burch

Tory Burch's Kendra Cardigan runs for $548 a pop, with the color french cream being a lookalike for J.Crew's more affordable version (although, there are more sizes available starting at an XXS). This designer sweater consists of a silk lining, button closure, and front pockets.

Like both J.Crew's and Gerard Darel's, it's a beautiful piece, so whichever you decide to add to your wardrobe will be an excellent choice for fall.
