My Meg Ryan Fall Wardrobe Wouldn’t Be Complete Without This $38 Sweater

I have a confession: At the beginning of August, my fiancé and I lit a pumpkin-scented candle, watched a spooky movie, and welcomed the unofficial start of the fall season. I know, I know, it was a tad too early, but we couldn’t help it! IMHO, autumn is one of the greatest seasons, and now that we’re just a few weeks away from it, I’m finally giving myself full permission to stock up on cozy sweaters. 

Scrolling through countless online retailers, I stumbled upon the Amazon Essentials Fisherman Cable Turtleneck Sweater, on sale for just $38 in sizes XS to 6XL. The stylish top flaunts a 100 percent cotton construction, comfortable fit, fold-over neck, long sleeves, and ribbed detailing. And while 21 colors are up for grabs, all I could think about was how the dark red hue resembled Meg Ryan’s pullover in the film When Harry Met Sally…

It couldn’t be more perfect; Ryan’s romcom style is synonymous with fall fashion—and I’ve always wanted to steal everything from her wardrobe. But it’s not just ‘90s movie-approved: The sweater has racked up nearly 8,000 five-star ratings with shoppers swooning over the “cozy” material that’s great for “[curling] up on the couch,” “reading a book, or watching a movie.” Tons of wearers have even praised the separate for its lack of pilling, too—a must for any good sweater—while a New England-native called it the “perfect fall or winter sweater.”

Perhaps even better? The snuggly top can be dressed up or down. Stretchy leggings, cashmere socks, and fuzzy Ugg slippers make for one heck of a night-in ‘fit (all we need is hot cocoa!), while straight-leg jeans, a suede tote, and loafers create the ideal fall morning ensemble. It can also be used as an extra layer once temperatures start to drop, bracing you from the chilly breeze that’s right around the corner.

But the Amazon Essentials Turtleneck Sweater isn’t the only nostalgic pull-over up for grabs. Channel your inner Rory Gilmore with the Aelfric Eden Oversized Sweater or make like Rachel Green with the Minthunter Cowl-Neck Sweater—VHS tapes and Beanie Babies not included.
