As much as the sprinkling of warm days here and there may try to convince Us otherwise, Punxsutawney Phil doesn’t lie. We have a long winter ahead! If you’re bored of your winter wardrobe, it’s your sign that it’s time for a restock.
But if you’re like Us, you’re not feeling a full-blown winter wardrobe restock. It’s too close to spring . . . plus, summer is in four short months! Instead of going pedal to metal on winter pieces, we’re grabbing a few new ones that are suitable for all-year wear. Enter cardigans!
Cardigans are the ideal winter-to-summer pieces, but only if you find the right ones. Strictly winter cardigans are thick and heavy while summer ones are lightweight and breezy, so finding in-between styles is key — not easy, but important. That said, we did the heavy lifting to find 15 versatile cardigans that you’ll wear from now until, well, now of next year.
Read on to see our picks!
1. Our absolute favorite: Cable knit material . . . a mid-thigh length . . . front buttons . . . a creamy beige hue . . . it’s love. Nearly 8,000 reviewers give this chunky knit sweater five stars!
2. Everyday outfit: We’re convinced there isn’t anything this lightweight button-front doesn’t go with. The expensive-looking knit material is made of a cozy cotton and acrylic blend!
