Cardigans are having a moment. What was once sneered at and called ‘grandpa’s sweater’ is now one of the coolest knits in the fashion game. We did a round up of the super-sized, chunky ones we’re loving earlier in the season, but now we’re getting around to more everyday options.
Cardigans come in every weight and length, from cashmere to wool to super-cropped (not for us) to extra-long. This article we dive into the ones that fall somewhere in the middle – that you can either wear underneath something else or put your favorite t-shirt easily underneath. Layering is the key to being comfortable over these next few months, and these stylish pieces will help.
When it comes to basics, you can’t do better than J.Crew and Everlane. J.Crew’s everyday cashmere cardigan comes with fun buttons to dress it up. Everlane’s alpaca sweater is cozy and a little bit oversized, which is just the way we like it.
Some trends trickle down everywhere, like this season’s obsession with sharp tailoring. There’s several belted sweaters that are a more comfortable version of the blazer and belt trend. We love this Madewell gray one for an affordable option. Edition10’s ribbed version is a little bit more substantial and luxe, if you can afford to splurge.
We love a statement sweater, which can mean anything from a fun print to unique fashion-forward details. Uniqlo’s fleece cardigan checks all of our textural boxes, while riding the line between cozy cardigan and light outerwear. Madewell’s tiger-stripe sweater brings a fresh spin to animal print for anyone who’s a little tired of seeing leopard everywhere. Le 17 Septembre’s sweater is an absolute showstopper. We’re obsessed with everything about it – from the winter white color palette to the second set of sweater arms around your neck.
