Sweater weather is here, and a lot of good ones are on sale. Here are sweaters under $80 today, for men and for women, cheapest first in each, at today's prices.

A quick guide to what's here. Merino is fine wool: warm without bulk, and much less itchy than ordinary wool. Cotton sweaters wash easily and suit milder days, or anyone who finds wool scratchy. A cable knit has the twisted rope pattern, which makes it thicker and warmer. A mock neck is a short turtleneck, and a quarter-zip zips at the neck, so it layers over a T-shirt or a collared shirt. Pointelle is an open, lacy stitch, lighter than the rest.

Before you buy

Check the fit words. Oversized and relaxed are meant to fit loose, and shrunken is meant to fit short and close, so don't size down or up out of habit.
Merino or cotton? Merino if you run cold or want one sweater for everything. Cotton if wool itches or you'd rather put it in the wash.
Trust review counts over stars. A rating from thousands of shoppers tells you more than a perfect score from a few.
Buy early. Sale prices change from week to week, and the popular sizes go first.
