Growing up, my grandma wore a cardigan every time I visited her. She looked incredible, but seeing her in the sweater made me associate the style with an older generation. Because of this, I refused to wear cardigans for years, saying they were only for grandmas. Thankfully, Taylor Swift finally helped me come to my senses when she released the song “Cardigan,” and now I own about 20.
Don’t be like me and wait to hop on the cardigan train. There are plenty of youthful designs that will make you feel fashion-forward. In fact, I found 10 affordable picks on Amazon. Wrap yourself in comfort (and style!) this winter with the 10 trendiest cardigans, below.
1. Feel Rich: Is it a coat or a sweater? It’s both! This Upper East Side mom staple from Anrabess will help you put your best foot forward no matter what you have going on. It’s a bit thicker than other sweaters so it can double as a light jacket on those chillier days. – $37 (originally $56) at Amazon!
2. A Classic Pick: With its classic silhouette, this Lillusory cardigan stands the test of time. However, the sleek and soft fabric (made from 100% cotton) brings it into the 21st century, giving the style a much-needed youthful upgrade. — $13 (originally $26) at Amazon!
3. Billowing Sleeves: The bigger the sleeves, the cozier the cardigan will be — I don’t make the rules! Wrap yourself in comfort when you purchase this PrettyGarden cardigan. — $31 (originally $40) at Amazon!
4. Too-Cool Texture: Hang this sweater in a museum! The gorgeous knit design along the opening and cuffs elevates the entire sweater and makes it so much fun to wear. Don’t be surprised when you score endless compliments. — $30 at Amazon!
5. Preppy Vibes: Polo shirts aren’t a requirement to nail the preppy aesthetic. This color block sweater from Zesica is the perfect preppy addition to your wardrobe for the colder months thanks to the striped trim and gold button detailing — $36 at Amazon!
6. Standout: While fall and winter can be dreary, throwing on this vibrant Pink Queen cardigan can boost your mood and keep you fashionably cozy. — $40 at Amazon!
7. Better Than a Blanket: Wearing this hooded Aoysky cardigan is like toting around your own personal blanket. . . although it’s much more stylish than draping an old quilt over your shoulders! — $50 at Amazon!
8. Bows for Days: The coquette trend isn’t going anywhere. Embrace it well into the colder seasons with this adorable sweater. The buttons have bows sewn right onto them — it’s all in the details! — $41 at Amazon!
9. The Office Pick: Why are offices always so cold? You’ll never freeze when you have this blazer-like cardigan on hand. — $26 (originally $50) at Amazon!
