Cardigans Are Big News This Autumn – Here’s the Best Cardigans You Can Buy Now

Today we are talking cardigans for Autumn. Cardigans have really upped their game recently. Last Autumn/Winter you could barely scroll without catching sight of Reformation’s cashmere collared Fantino cardigan (now available in 6 shades), and the autumn/winter 2024 runways confirm that the cardigan moment is far from over.

From Gucci’s chunky cardigans with glittering fringe to Molly Goddard’s textured chunky burgundy beauty, and Miu Miu’s neat cardigan jackets worn with knee-length bubble hem skirts and boots, this knitwear staple is looking mighty fresh. The high street has luckily obliged us too, with many a dreamy offering already entering the new arrivals sections ready for autumn. See below for further proof…

All this seems to be saying that if you are looking to make a new knitwear investment, it’s all about a cardigan this season. Whether oversized, cute, and cropped, or cinched and shaped like an hourglass. These are the best cardigans to update your outfits this autumn/winter.
