A cardigan is the perfect between-season layer — warmer than a shirt, softer than a jacket, and endlessly versatile.

Choosing the right cardigan

  • A shawl-collar or v-neck style
  • A slim or regular fit
  • Neutral colors: grey, navy, camel, charcoal
  • Quality knit in cotton, wool, or cashmere
