Winter is finally here and that means it's time to reach for the coziest knits in your closet to stay stylish (and warm!) all season. I shop for a living and can tell you that there are definitely some some key pieces that you'll need. If you want to be able to easily transition from your winter commutes to your holiday get-togethers, here's a tip: you can make your wardrobe a bit more effortless with affordable but stylish wool-blend essentials.
If that sounds like the perfect easy holiday season outfit plan for you, I'd like to show you eight wool-blend must-haves from knitwear specialists Arach&Cloz that are on sale at Amazon. Each piece is a balance of the practicality, softness and warmth we crave for winter comfort along with the modern, on-trend vibe we want to show off during this busy, and glamorous, time of year.

Winter knits: Premium comfort for less
What can you expect from these affordable Amazon knits? First off, each piece is made from a premium wool blend designed to be lightweight and soft on your skin. It's a blend that's functional for cold-weather wear, but I truly appreciate that the fabric is also anti-pilling and wrinkle resistant, so it's practical for everything from casual daily wear to holiday travel.
There are so many separates to choose from, not matter what your style - there's a wear-anywhere sweater dress for instant, easy style and a Fair Isle print that would be equally fun at your work holiday party as it would for a cozy gathering at home. I also love the 2-piece ribbed skirt set with a pullover and A-line skirt that I can see multitasking all season long, and even through the spring.
Why these looks made our wish list:
- Ratings: Everything included on my wish list has at least a 4.2-star rating from verified Amazon shoppers - and I've scoured the reviews.
- Colors: Arach&Cloz has a famously extensive selection of colorways but for the holiday season, I'm focusing on my favorites - wintry deep green, warm burgundy and Christmas-ready red - along with festive Fair Isle prints. Of course, if the looks I've chosen aren't your cup of tea, feel free to browse the other available colors: creams, brights, neutrals and pastels, too.
- Versatility: Each piece in this edit can be dressed up or down, and, because they're all made from a soft, non-bulky wool blend, they're also perfect for layering.
- Price: There are pieces for every holiday budget, ranging in price from $28.10 - $53.09.
So, here are my curated essentials to instantly elevate your winter vibe...

Shoppers say:
"Love this sweater! Perfect weight and feels so soft and looks more expensive than what it costs. I'm ordering more in different colors."
Editor's note:
"What would the holiday season be without a cozy Fair Isle sweater? Arach&Cloz's spin on the traditional festive knit would look great with dark wash jeans and chunky boots for casual days, or teamed with a skirt and gold jewelry for dressier occasions. And if you want other patterns or colors, the crew neck comes in over 30 choices to shop."

- Sizes: S-XXL
- 7 colors
Shoppers say:
"This is actually a really nice set, it looks and feels much more expensive than it is. It's a wool blend sweater material that's very soft and great quality. It's not too thin or too thick. For sizing, I'm not sure what to advise others, but I went up a size because I didn't want the skirt to be fitted."
Editor’s note:
"I spent all summer wearing mix and match two-piece sets - so good for travel, and makes daily dressing a no-brainer - and you can bring the concept to winter with soft, gorgeous knits.
"The Arach&Cloz set has elegant raglan sleeves with button accents and the skirt is the perfect pencil knit, warm but not bulky.
"I love a head-to-toe color block look with flats or boots, but you can wear each piece separately, or mix and match!"

Editor's note:
"A soft pullover sweater with a flattering V neckline is one of the most all-terrain pieces you can wear this winter, whether you layer it over a tee or turtleneck or opt to wear it on its own.
"For me this is a go-to for the office - just wear it over a button-down shirt with a blazer and tailored wide-leg trousers."

Shoppers say:
"Great sweaters for cold winters. I LOVE these sweaters, especially for the price. They are so soft and look really high quality. They hold up well in the washer, too. I hang dry to prevent shrinking. They fit great and the size is consistent across different colors/styles. They are pretty warm, too."

"This wool blend cardigan is a wardrobe must-have - the fabric is anti-pilling and durable (it's designed to stay smooth and hold its shape) and reviewers say the piece is a great value.
"You'll get plenty of use out of it year round because it transitions seamlessly from business to casual. You can layer it over a button-down for work or a t-shirt for the weekends."
