Reformation does this look so well – I’m obsessed with their greige set this season On the high street, I recently found the most incredible Khaite-inspired cardigan at H&M warm and has that classic Khaite silhouette – such a steal I like to wear it with satin trousers and heels for something more elevated but it works just as well with jeans and boat shoes When it comes to composition, a wool blend is ideal. I love cashmere but it’s expensive, delicate and requires more care. Investing in a comb for maintenance is essential. Wool blends are more durable and budget friendly. H&M has excellent options and for affordable cashmere it’s a no-brainer Metallic or gold buttons can make a cardigan feel dated opt for natural finishes like tortoiseshell – they’re chic and understated There are some amazing under-the-radar knitwear brands to check out. A Day’s March, Gobi Cashmere and Kiltane are a few of my current favourites A Day’s March focuses on menswear but now offers womenswear too – the Soho store is worth a visit Gobi Cashmere specialises in sustainable Mongolian cashmere that’s incredibly soft is known for its timeless and well-priced pieces I live in head-to-toe knitwear – a cardigan with knitted trousers is my go-to It’s a polished alternative to a tracksuit and one of my favourite looks for travelling Follow @FLORENCEEYRES DISCLAIMER: We endeavour to always credit the correct original source of every image we use.

In fact, Brogan, who founded Name Knits in 2021, wrote the following on Instagram in reaction to Keegan's post: 'Still not over this! 😍 Got the biggest surprise on Sunday when my mum sent me it 😂 Thank you so much for an insanely busy few days 🥹 I don’t have many cardigans left!' Around £30 for a cardigan, it's easy to see why these knits have become so popular. Another label, The Little Worne Store, also offers jumpers and cardigans for babies and toddlers, as well as other items such as baby pillows, Christmas stockings and blankets.

She covers shopping, lifestyle, celebs and anything trending. There was a dark time in history when wearing a cardigan was seen as straight-up nerdy the kinda thing that you'd slip on if you were just asking to be stuffed in a locker every single menswear guy out there has been stocking up on them he likes his Studio Nicholson ones as dark and moody as possible But with thousands of different brands and styles to choose from, how do you even decide which one to get? And once you do get ahold of one, how do you even wear it? If you want to learn how to style a cardigan this autumn, sit tight as we chat to some buyers, designers, and stylists for some pointers on things you should definitely consider if you want to do it the right way. Cardigans have been around since the 1850s their design hasn't really changed all that much But just because the overall look has remained more-or-less the same A lot of men's cardigans are quite thick and heavy. But these days, loads of guys are adding thinner, lighter ones to their wardrobes and they'll still keep you nice and cosy when the temperatures begin to plummet It's hard to beat a shawl collar cardigan V-neck pieces have been running the show as of late and YMC are showing us that the classic shawl is far from dead Playing around with different fabrics can add depth to any fit. In GQ's guide to layering clothes and the textures of your clothes play an important part in layering.” And this certainly applies when it comes to cardis If you're shopping for your first serious cardigan, you might be tempted to go for a no-nonsense monochrome colourway. And we get it! Black and grey and white ones can be worn with absolutely anything, and that means you can make the most of them. But cardigans don't have to lurk in the shadows, so get yourself a nice vibrant one that'll make all your fits pop off. “A bold patterned or coloured cardigan can easily transform any drab look into something more fun and optimistic,” says Archer. “There are loads of great options out there this season, most notably from labels such as Ami Paris, Burberry, Our Legacy, Sacai, and The Elder Statesman.” Speaking of colours, try to add some crazy graphics and patterns to your cardi game. When learning how to style a cardigan this autumn, your mind can sometimes wander to more neutral, earthy pieces, which is natural enough. But honestly? It doesn't have to be like that. “Don't be afraid to play around with wacky prints,” says Hearfield. “There are so many to choose from. The Howlin' Knitwear x DJ Harvey's ‘General Store’ collection is a prime example that we can push out preconceived boundaries of knitwear.” When it comes to layering, you can definitely just throw it over a plain tee and call it a day But if you want to push it a little further not-so-obvious ways that you can layer knitwear Back in 2020, houses such as Acne Studios, Bottega Veneta, Etro, and Ferragamo started sending cardigans down the runway in place of jackets And while most menswear trends come and go after a couple of seasons big fashion guys are still doing it religiously “Cardigans look great worn as a lightweight jacket, and the right piece can easily replace all of your outerwear altogether,” says Archer. “Zip-up styles probably work better for this compared to button-down ones.

This cardigan is sold out, but the No8 cardigan, which is made from cotton and has a similar silhouette, is available.] This Tory Burch cardigan is a favorite of Hannah Selinger, author of the forthcoming memoir Cellar Rat: My Life in the Restaurant Underbelly “Black is one of my essential wardrobe colors (no surprise there) and this piece is great for throwing on over a T-shirt or for wearing as a solo piece,” she says so Selinger says she likes to keep it handy if she’s wearing a dress on a cool fall evening This cardigan is made with a fine cashmere yarn that’s blended with cotton to offer extra breathability the Enya cardigan is certainly an investment piece and I very much love the fun colors.” She owns it in a purple colorway Reid was gifted this cardigan by Emma Rothkopf she does think it would be worth it if you’re looking to splurge It’s made of undyed wool and has a slightly chunky and cropped silhouette which Reid says looks almost like a little jacket in the best way “It feels handmade and truly special — it would be a really lovely gift for the person who has been collecting Babaà sweaters for years,” Reid notes By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us The Strategist is designed to surface useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
