Of all the things to love about fall, the cozy, throw-on-and-go fashion may be what we love most. Sweater dresses, in particular, are perennial favorites for their wearability, comfort, easy care, and endless styling options.

Stars like Kelly Clarkson, Angelina Jolie, and Gisele Bündchen reach for the versatile cool-weather staple anytime they want to look relaxed yet put-together on TV, on the interview circuit, or knocking out everyday errands. Just pull on a sweater dress, and you're good to go.

Inspired by these celebrities — and Walmart's massive collection of fall-friendly knits — we've rounded up 10 standout sweater dresses that will see you stylishly through workdays, holiday hobnobbing, and nights out all season long. And while they look expensive, they’re all under $40 — so grab your favorites before they sell out.

We love an evening look that you can restyle and keep on wearing. This strappy sweater dress features a square neck, bra-friendly tank straps, and a flared skirt, plus it's studded with pearl-like beads. The dress is party-ready when worn with heels, or you can make it work-appropriate by slipping on a cardigan or layering a blouse underneath.

You’re not seeing things. This sweater dress shimmers with mini sequins woven throughout. The scrunchy turtleneck gathers loosely at the neck, and its midi length and side slit give plenty of opportunities to show off tights and boots. Long sleeves and a relaxed fit round out this low-lift look.

Scallops at the collar and cuffs make this long-sleeved sweater dress a standout. In black, it's a perfect LBD, but it’s also available in holiday-ready red and green options. It's made of lightweight, breathable yarn and features bell sleeves and a keyhole in the back, with romantic ties to create a pretty bow that trails down.
