Cardigan Charm: A Wardrobe Staple for All Seasons
- 2 minute read -
Cardigans have an undeniable charm—they’re cozy, versatile, and perfect for layering. After years of resistance, I’ve finally embraced the ease, style, and versatility of this simple, understated wardrobe essential. Whether you’re aiming for a polished look or a laid-back vibe, a cardigan fits right in. From cropped, chunky knits that add a little edge to your outfit to oversized, longline cardigans perfect for lazy weekends, there’s truly one for every occasion.
Pair your favorite cardigan with jeans and a simple tee, or layer it over a light dress to stay warm as the weather shifts. And the best part? Cardigans never go out of style, making them a solid, sustainable choice for year-round wear!
Not only are cardigans practical, but they’re also made from natural fibers that offer breathability, warmth, and comfort. Organic cotton and wool cardigans add a natural, long-lasting feel, while cashmere options bring a touch of luxury with ultra-soft warmth.
While hunting for the perfect cardigan, sticking to 100% cotton gives you the most bang for your buck. With a little time (and luck) at the thrift store, you might even find one made with 100% wool or cashmere!
Take a look at some options I found for you!
Everlane is a go-to for cozy, timeless pieces, and the Cozy Rib Cardigan doesn’t disappoint! This sweet, simple staple comes in five versatile colors, perfect for layering up with effortless style.
Another fantastic Everlane find—this one’s a steal at just $37! One of the colorways is almost completely sold out, but it’s too good not to include. If you’re eyeing it, don’t wait—this might be your new favorite cozy staple!
If you’re not familiar with Urban Renewal by Urban Outfitters, it’s their program that revives pre-loved and vintage pieces! Their vintage fisherman-style cardigans are unique finds and made from wool.
This Gap cardigan is a relaxed, slouchy style that’s perfect for casual days. It’s available in four colors, and the best part? It’s currently 50% off!
I was delighted to find this organic cotton cardigan from Target! In a classic tan with dainty gold buttons and handy front pockets, it’s the perfect blend of cozy and chic.
