Over the last few years, cardigans have become a staple piece of every transseasonal outfit. You can wear them buttoned or slung around your shoulders for a polished, preppy look. You can layer them over floaty dresses with loafers for an autumn vibe or pair them with your go-to T-shirt, half-buttoned, so your tee or singlet can peek out underneath, blue jeans, a belt, and some boots.
You also don’t have to stick to monochrome colour palettes. You could channel a Parisian attitude and wear a red one with some rich blue denim and boots. Or you could pair pastel pinks and blues with white jeans and sneakers for a more undone look.
This season, we’re seeing the return of some classic cardis in new colourways — like the viral Blanca cardi — as well as some high street brands doing some seriously good work at great price points (hello, Glassons). There are also so many styles of knit to choose from — chunky, fine, fluffy — so depending on your style, and what you’ve already got in your wardrobe, there’s something for every occasion.
Ahead, you’ll find up to 20 new season cardigans to choose from. Happy shopping!
& Other Stories Wool-Blend Knit Cardigan
There’s just something about red cardigans that’s très chic! Seriously, whenever we see someone pair them with a soft, blue denim jean, we can’t help but think how put together they look.
Henne Solene Cardigan
If you’re spending a couple of hundred dollars on a knit, you want it to be made from high-quality fabrics. A lot of this season’s cardigans are made from a blend of Alpaca and merino wool, among other fibres, like this viral one from Henne. Chances are you’ve already seen it all over TikTok. The silhouette of the Solene is an effortless addition to your wardrobe, the waistline cut with the ribbed finishes will instantly elevate any outfit.
Commonry Saige Cardigan
This one from Commonry is made in a sumptuous wool alpaca blend for a lofty finish. The design itself is a classic profile that looks polished when fully buttoned and paired with a tailored pant or skin. When worn undone with denim, it gives more of an ‘I-just-threw-this-on’ kind of look.
Aje Celine Fluffy Cardigan
Honestly, every time we see a fluffy knit, we think about how cosy and warm the person wearing it must be. Just look at this one from Aje. It’s a semi-cropped fit with a crew neckline and balloon sleeves for a fitted but oversized look. The gold detailing and the ribbed finishes really complete the look.
H&M Cardigan
On the more affordable side of things, H&M also offers a huge range of cardigans made from a soft knit containing some wool. This particular one features a V-neck, a button-down front, dropped shoulders, and long balloon-style sleeves for a slouchy, oversized look.
Witchery Hi V Knit Cardigan
If slouchy and oversized isn’t really your style, there’s also plenty of fitted cardis floating around right now. Take this one from Witchery, for example. It’s crafted to be an elevated basic that can be worn more like a long-sleeve shirt than a cardigan. They often look super cute paired with some baggy jeans a sneakers or dressed up with tailored pants and heels.
Em On Holiday Chunky Knit Cardigan
For more of a statement piece, you’re going to want to look to fun fashion labels like Em On Holiday. This one is a chunky knit cardi. It comes in three contrasting colourways — green/pink, blue/white and red/tan, so you can pick the one that best suits your existing wardrobe.
Blanca Pepa Cardigan Grey
Blanca’s Pepa Cardigan is one of the brand’s more viral pieces that returns year after year in different colourways. This year, the grey one is here to steal the spotlight. Oversized, cozy, and effortlessly cool, this piece redefines your autumn wardrobe with its laid-back vibe and a touch of unexpected edge.
COS Pure Brushed-Cashmere Cardigan
If a timeless cashmere cardi is what you’re looking for, COS is exactly where you’ll find it. The Pure Brushed-Cashmere Cardigan is the epitome of luxury, featuring a lightweight brushed cashmere knit for superior softness and ultimate cosy vibes.
Free People We The Free Lili Linen Cardi
For more fun, cosy vibes, we’re shopping at Free People. The We The Free collection has a range of colourful, relaxed-fit cardis in a soft cotton-linen blend and knit fabrication with button-front closures and ribbed trim. You can also chose from a range of different necklines and cuff styles, like this scoop neck one with contrasting neckline and cuffs.
Glassons Oversized Button-Up Knit Cardigan
For affordable cardigans in a huge range of styles, colourways and fabrics, we’re turning to Glassons. There’s everything from tight, ribbed fashion-style fit cardigans to oversized, chunkier knits.
Zara Chunky Knit Cardigan
Zara is also another great option if you’re looking for a bit of variety in your knits. We’re deeply obsessed with this CHUNKY, round-neck, long-sleeve cardigan. It’s got the cutest front patch pockets and large gold button detailing, which reminds me of something our nanas could probably knit back in the day.
Reformation Clara Crew Cardigan
Reformation has some pretty unique knits, like this soft, slubby alpaca sweater. It was spun in Italy, so you know it’s a beautiful fabrication, and the choice of knitting style is more elevated than most, making it worth the price tag.
Free People We The Free On The Isle Cardi
Another one from the Free People We The Free collection. Mostly because it’s one of the few knits we’ve seen with the collared neckline, it’s a cross between a knit you’d expect to see on a high fashion model and one a fiance bro wears in winter. Somehow, it works, and we like it.
Cotton On Luxe Crew Cardigan
Of course, the legends over at Cotton On are in on the cardi game with some really cute (and affordable) knitwear for winter. There’s a variety of different knit constructions and colourways to choose from, so you’ll just need to keep in mind what you’d like to pair it with.
UNIQLO 100 Per Cent Cashmere Crew Neck Short Cardigan
Now, if cashmere is what you’ve got your heart set on, but your bank account says ‘nope’, we’ve got some good news for you. Uniqlo has some 100 per cent cashmere cardis that are under $150 — which IYKYK. They’re warm, lightweight, and have a luxurious feel without the killer price tag.
Country Road Fluffy Knit Cardigan
Country Road’s knitwear game is strong this season, too. We’ve got our eye on this baby blue fluffy knit. It has a relaxed, cropped fit, so it’ll look cute with high-waisted jeans, tailored pants and skirts over the next few months as we transition into winter.
AERE Alba Merino Wool Cardigan
A lot of this seasons cardigans have a collarless scoop or V-neck, so to keep things interesting, why not choose one with a collar? Like this AERE one. It’s a standard cardigan, but the details — big buttons, collar and ribbed finishing make it stand out.
The Fated Nikki Cardigan
And last but certainly not least. This classic oversized one from The Fated. It’s giving cosy, it’s giving comfy, it’s giving curl up on the couch with a cuppa and still look cute.
If you’ve found your dream cardigan but still need the perfect pair of jeans to go with it, right this way.
