Need sweater recommendations

For northern climate brahs, what brands of clothes do you get your winter wear from?

Been trying to upgrade my wardrobe this winter. Have went shopping for new sweaters and they all seem to be too baggy, bad material, thin material or a combo of all the above. Any places have athletic fitting clothes that are actually quality?

Sweaters? Like hoodies or crewnecks? Or do you mean actual sweaters like you'd wear for holidays a lot?

I have cuts and bylt crewneck sweaters that I wear all the time as a base layer for a jacket. I have a cuts fleece, a northface quarter zip fleece, a columbia thick quarter zip and random hoodies/zip up sweaters from my work.

I have only 1 nicer sweater for the holdays from J. Crew I think. Maybe it was abercrombie (actually legit clothes now after pivoting brand).

https://www.aran.com/pretty good quality sweaters. I like the merino wool ones. I have a couple from smaller islands that I've picked up locally, but for decent ones Aran Sweater Market is pretty good. Chicks dig them

Just plain old crew necks or Henleys. I have a thick wool sweater for when its super cold, but looking for some base layers to help show off the figure more.

I had a green sweater from Banana republic years ago that was perfect until the shoulders warped. Went a couple weeks back and all their stuff is baggy or overly thick which isn't what im looking for.

cuts looks good. but hows the quality?

Those aren't that expensive. Taylor Stitch is a brand I like for some things around that same price point.
