7 Angelina Jolie-inspired Winter Sweaters for Travel

Angelina Jolie recently demonstrated the quintessential travel outfit. It’s cozy, chic, and complete with the ultimate layers that can easily be dressed up or down once you get to your destination. An oversized cardigan is the ultimate travel style hack. Jolie paired hers with airy, flared pants and platform sandals (perhaps not as airport-friendly). We’re using the look as a formula for all travel days this winter.

It appears she has officially added the comfy essential to her cold-weather travel rotation. She wore it earlier this month while grabbing coffee in New York City, and a few weeks before that at a film festival in Italy. Her exact Ryan Roche cardigan isn’t available to shop online right now — and, in any case, the brand’s recycled cashmere sweaters tend to cost upward of $500. But, not to worry. We found seven similar travel-friendly styles at Amazon for as low as $19. Now you’ll be Jolie-level chic and supremely cozy on your next flight.

Zesica V-neck Cardigan

On sale for $23, this stretchy cardigan has a similar shape to Jolie’s, from the relaxed waistline to the baggy balloon sleeves. It has a couple of hundred five-star ratings on Amazon, including one from a shopper who said “you’ll want to wear it every day.”

Lillusory Oversized Knit Sweater

Lots of reviewers have compared this plush, ribbed knit to the mega-popular Jenni Kayne Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan, which is $475. In fact, one reviewer said they own the Jenni Kayne version. They took a chance on this lookalike out of curiosity and were “blown away by the quality.” Comparisons aside, the consensus is that the weight, shape, and stitching on this $40 option make it look and feel much more expensive than it actually is.

Caracilia Open-front Cardigan Sweater

With its soft ribbed texture and slouchy silhouette, the $40 Caracilia sweater is a snug option for long travel days. One of the hundreds of happy reviewers said, “This cardigan is one of the best pieces of clothing I have ever bought off Amazon,” thanks to its weight, color, and high-quality feel.

Tasamo Button-down Cardigan

This mid-weight cable-knit cardigan is on sale for under $20. With a more cropped silhouette than Jolie’s, it’s a more elevated option that’ll pair nicely with some of your favorite jewelry and trousers for a nice dinner out once you get to your destination. A reviewer deemed it the “perfect throw-on sweater” that goes with almost everything in their wardrobe, a testament to its versatility.

Grecerelle Cardigan With Pockets

Amazon is offering a 30 percent coupon that saves you an extra $8 on this already-affordable cardigan. It’s a hidden gem on Amazon with only four ratings total right now, but all four shoppers gave it five stars. They say it’s the perfect balance of being warm without feeling too thick and bulky. Plus, the material is “softer than expected” even though it’s synthetic. The biggest bonus? It has the benefit of pockets.

Merokeety Ribbed V-neck Cardigan

More than 100 people have purchased this oversized Merokeety cardigan in the past month alone. It’s collecting perfect ratings left and right thanks to the ultra-warm and pleasant fabric. Reviewers say they even want to sleep in it. “I think this would be great for plane travel,” one said. “It’s heavy enough to keep you nice and warm, while giving you plenty of room to move comfortably.”

Yimoon Fuzzy Cardigan

“This sweater is the softest material I have ever felt,” someone said about this fuzzy sweater. The unique texture offers an almost faux fur-like feel, so trust that you’ll love wearing this just as much as you’ll enjoy rolling it up to use as a cozy pillow or even something to cuddle up with and hug as you sleep on a long-haul flight. It comes in dark and light gray in addition to other neutral shades, but the dark gray looks most like Jolie’s.
