ASTR the Label Sweaters and Knit Sets: Cozy Holiday Outfits, Prices and Sizes

Dresses get most of the attention at ASTR the Label, but its fall and holiday drops also include a deep run of sweaters, cardigans, sweater dresses and pieces sold as matching sets. Full-price knits ranged from $69 to $178 when we checked, all in sizes XS to XL. This guide covers the knitwear and coordinated sets ASTR lists for cozy holiday dressing, from a $69 wrap turtleneck to $178 cable cardigans, plus what the listings do and do not say about fiber, fit and care. For the brand overall, see our full ASTR the Label review.

What ASTR's knitwear range looks like

Knitwear is one of the biggest groups in ASTR's newest products, with 37 listings typed as sweaters and nine as cardigans, with a few duplicates for individual colors. Styles lean toward detail rather than basics, with lace collars, satin bows, feather cuffs, faux fur trim, rhinestones and crochet edging all appearing in the descriptions. Many are tagged for holiday, Thanksgiving, office wear or "gift guide," and a group of new knits was added with ASTR's holiday styles.

Only a handful of descriptions name a fiber. The Vida turtleneck is described as a "soft wool-blend yarn," the Norma has "a touch of wool," the Rue cardigan and shorts are "knit from soft wool," and the Brenleigh pieces are a jersey knit "with a touch of mulberry silk and wool." The rest describe texture (ribbed, cable, pointelle, brushed) without listing content.

Pullover sweaters for holiday gatherings

• Brenleigh Turtleneck Waist Wrap Sweater ($69, Natural or Navy): a relaxed turtleneck with dropped shoulders and an attached wrap that ties at the waist.
• Norma Draped Mock Neck Sweater ($79, Cream or Charcoal): a diagonal draped pleat across the bodice, mock neck and long sleeves.
• Cayleigh Rib Knit Satin Bow Pocket Sweater ($79, Black or Natural): a relaxed, slightly cropped crew neck with satin bows on the patch pockets.
• Temima Cable Knit Off-Shoulder Sweater ($85, Light Grey): a foldover off-the-shoulder neckline with a knot at center front.
• Perdita Feather-Cuff Cropped Sweater ($89, Black, Brown or Cream): a relaxed cropped V-neck with feather-trimmed cuffs.
• Vida Ribbed Knit Turtleneck Sweater ($98, Cream, Pink or Heather Grey): a close-fitting layering turtleneck.
• Alenya Open Back Ribbed Sweater ($109, Black): a body-skimming mock neck with an open, tie-closure back.
• Maertisa Twist Wrap Panel Knit Sweater ($119, Brown, Grey or Red): a scarf-like panel that twists at the front.
• Kennedy Faux Fur Zip Sweater ($138, Black or Wine): a fitted rib knit with a double zipper and faux fur collar and cuffs.
• Selbie Rhinestone Embellished Knit Sweater ($138, Dark Grey): a relaxed rib-trimmed sweater scattered with rhinestones.

Cardigans and layering knits

Cardigans run a little higher and are mostly cropped and fitted, with a few oversized exceptions:

• Tyra Contrast Collar Ribbed Cardigan ($109, Black): cropped, with an ivory contrast collar.
• Jadwiga Fringe-Trim Duster Cardigan ($129, Black or Cream): a longer duster with fringe trim, frog button closures and a removable tie belt.
• Sonya Lace Collar Cardigan ($138, Grey or Ivory): a fitted rib knit with a lace collar.
• Ayleen Intarsia Shawl Collar Cardigan ($148, Navy): oversized, with an intarsia design, shawl collar and patch pockets.
• Bayona Ruffle Cape Knit Cardigan ($148, Charcoal or Navy): an attached ruffled cape and silver metallic buttons.
• Dallyn Lace Collar Embellished Pointelle Cardigan ($158, Cream): cropped pointelle with beading and a black lace collar.
• Crystelle Cable Knit Funnel Collar Cardigan ($178, Cream): an oversized cable knit with a structured funnel collar, the warmest-looking option in the range.

Matching sets and sweater dresses

ASTR tags pieces designed to be worn together as matching sets, but each piece has its own listing and price, so you can buy one half or mix sizes between top and bottom. Combined prices below are simply the two listed prices added together:

• Brenleigh sweater and Knit Side Slit Midi Skirt: $69 each, $138 together, in Natural or Navy.
• Nadine Lace-Hem Turtleneck Top and Midi Skirt: $69 and $79 ($148), a sleeveless rib knit with a lace-hem knit skirt.
• Rue Crochet Lace Trim Knit Cardigan and Sweater Shorts: $148 and $98 ($246), in brown wool.
• Beltane Faux Fur Trim Corset Top and Satin Skirt: $75 and $85 ($160), a strapless boned corset with a faux fur trimmed A-line mini.
• Zahra Velvet Frog Closure Jacket and Mini Skirt: $119 and $79 ($198), black velvet with frogging and braided trim.

If you prefer one piece, ASTR's sweater dresses cover the same cozy brief: the Annie Scarf Sweater Mini ($99) and Shyanne Turtleneck Scarf Sweater Dress ($138) both have a scarf element, the Daysha Square Neck Mini ($138) is a fitted ribbed knit, and the Tonianne Cable Knit Scarf Midi ($168, Charcoal) is described as a soft wool blend with a built-in scarf and side slit. The Anna Two-Piece Sweater Slip Dress ($178) pairs a satin slip with a detachable knit sweater, but no sizes were available when we checked.

Sizing, care, shipping and returns

• Sizes: XS to XL across every knit and set piece listed here. Descriptions use fit words like "relaxed," "fitted," "cropped" and "oversized," which matter more than usual for knits; an oversized cardigan and a fitted rib turtleneck in the same size will fit very differently.
• Care: not listed in the product data. Wool and wool-blend pieces often need hand washing or dry cleaning, so check the care label details on the product page before buying a knit you plan to wear often.
• Shipping: free FedEx Ground on orders of $75 or more and $10 below that. A single $69 sweater falls under the line, while any two set pieces clear it.
• Returns: refund to your original payment within 14 days of delivery, store credit from day 15 to 30, and a $5 fee. Items must be unworn and unwashed with tags attached, which rules out returning a sweater after a wash. Final Sale items are excluded.

We do not list sale prices or time-limited offers here. Any working offers we find are listed on our ASTR the Label coupons page.

Frequently asked questions

Are ASTR's matching sets sold as one item?

No. Each piece in a set has its own product page and price, so you can order the top and bottom in different sizes or buy just one.

Are ASTR sweaters made of wool?

A few are described as wool, wool blend or containing wool and mulberry silk, but percentages are not listed, and most sweater listings do not name a fiber at all.

What is the cheapest way to get free shipping on an ASTR knit?

Free FedEx Ground starts at $75. Pairing the $69 Brenleigh sweater with its $69 skirt, or adding any second item to a single sweater, gets an order over that threshold.

The bottom line

ASTR's knitwear is detail-driven, with feathers, faux fur, lace collars and wraps, at mostly $69 to $178, and its matching sets let you build a coordinated holiday outfit piece by piece. Read the fit description closely, check the product page for fiber and care if you can, and decide within 14 days of delivery to keep the card-refund option.
