Over the last few years, cardigans have become a staple piece of every transeasonal outfit. You can wear them buttoned or slung around your shoulders for a polished, preppy look. You can layer them over floaty dresses with loafers for a spring vibe. Or you wear it half-buttoned, with a basic tee, blue jeans, a belt, and some boots.
This season, we’re seeing the return of some classic cardis in new colourways, as well as brands doing some seriously good work at great price points (hello, Glassons). There are so many styles of knit to choose from — chunky, fine, fluffy — so depending on your style, and what you’ve already got in your wardrobe, there’s something for every occasion.
Ahead, you’ll find up to 20 new season cardigans to choose from. Happy shopping!
The 21 Best Cardigans For Winter and Spring 2025
Cos Cropped Wool Cardigan
Red cardigans may have been the biggest trend of last winter, but they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. We’re still in love with Cos’ Cropped Wool Cardigan, everything about it screams cool girl.

& Other Stories Alpaca-Blend Knit Cardigan
There’s just something about a petrol blue cardigan that’s très chic! Seriously, whenever we see someone pair them with a soft, blue denim jean, we can’t help but think how put together they look.

Henne Solene Cardigan
If you’re spending a couple of hundred dollars on a knit, you want it to be made from high-quality fabrics. A lot of this season’s cardigans are made from a blend of Alpaca and merino wool, among other fibres, like this viral one from Henne. Chances are you’ve already seen it all over TikTok. The silhouette of the Solene is an effortless addition to your wardrobe; the waistline cut with the ribbed finishes will instantly elevate any outfit.

Glassons Alpaca Blend Knit Cardigan
If you love the look of Henne’s Solene Cardigan, but your bank account doesn’t, allow us to introduce you to Glasson’s Alpaca Blend Knit Cardigan. It’s made with a 59 per cent alpaca wool blend, and a super similar silhouette, so you can get in on the cosy action on a budget.

Commonry Saige Cardigan
This cardi from Commonry is made in a sumptuous wool alpaca blend for a lofty finish. The design itself is a classic profile that looks polished when fully buttoned and paired with a tailored pant or skin. When worn undone with denim, it gives more of an ‘I-just-threw-this-on’ kinda look.

Aje Celine Fluffy Cardigan
Honestly, every time we see a fluffy knit, we think about how cosy and warm the person wearing it must be. Just look at this one from Aje. It’s a semi-cropped fit with a crew neckline and balloon sleeves for a fitted but oversized look. The gold detailing and the ribbed finishes really complete the look.

H&M Mohair Blend Cardigan
On the more affordable side of things, H&M also offers a huge range of cardigans, and this mohair blend one is our favourite. It’s part of H&M’s premium range, but is still at an accessible price point. It features a V-neck, a button-down front and dropped shoulders for a slouchy, oversized look.

Reformation Clara Crew Cardigan
Reformation has some pretty unique knits, like this soft, slouchy alpaca sweater. It was spun in Italy, so you already know it’s a beautiful fabrication, and the choice of knitting style is more elevated than most, making it worth the price tag.

Free People We The Free On The Isle Cardi
Another one from the Free People We The Free collection, mostly because it’s one of the few cardigans we’ve seen with the collared neckline. It’s a cross between a knit you’d expect to see on a high fashion model and one a finance bro wears in winter. Somehow, it works, and we like it.

Cotton On Body Button Up Cardigan
This cardigan from Cotton On Body is screaming winter marshmallow vibes. The pink and cream stripes are so cutesy, and it’s at a super affordable price, too. This is the kind of knitwear piece that can be worn when lounging around the house, and also dressed up for a fun brunch date.
