For us, we think the key to nailing fall fashion is all in the layering. Sure, it’s important to have a few staple sweaters and coats incorporated into your closet, but the real trick is figuring out how to style all of those pieces together. Enter the cardigan — aka one of fashion’s most timeless and trusted wardrobe essentials that you could argue is a basic worth having on hand in any season (though it’s especially great for fall and winter).
Cardigans have long had a reputation for being more of an understated, even boring, layer, but our latest online shopping spree proves that they’re actually anything but. We’ve fallen back in love with the classic cardigan style, not only because of all the modern silhouettes you can shop, but also because there are so many creative ways to wear them. So long as you’ve got a white tank top, a great pair of jeans, and a cute cardigan, you have an outfit that can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go.
Our shopping experts narrowed down our picks for the best cardigans for women that we think are worth adding to your fall wardrobe ASAP. Whether you want an editor-loved cashmere piece, something vibrant and colorful, or a cropped cardigan that’s cut in all the right ways, the options are endless. Keep reading to shop our selects!
