Cardigans

Cardigans for women are a wardrobe essential that can also work as a versatile fashion item in casual or smart outfits. Cropped cardigans are a stylish accompaniment to knee length dresses or a high-waisted skirt. Oversized cardigans combine perfectly with skinny jeans and boots. The Stylight site features a varied selection of cardigans for women, including cozy long sleeve knitwear, chic cropped cardigans, cashmere and ribbed knit designs.

Better than Buttons: Cardigan Styles Worth Covering Up In

Classic cardigans have an old-fashioned and stodgy feel. The round neck, the line of buttons and the piped sleeve? Forget about it. Layer your look and cover up your shoulders in a covetable cardigan that merits a style shout-out.

No matter how you wrap, zip, or tie it, adding another piece to an outfit shouldn’t take away from your fashion sense, but rather amplify it. Get a chic boost with these fresh takes on cardigans.

Kimono Inspired

Slip into something silky with a soft styled cover-up that mimics a Japanese traditional robe.  A far cry from a cotton cardigan, it’s a piece that adds sleek and sultry texture to a basic ensemble.

Wear it with: Light-washed jeans, a white tank top and black open-toed wedges.

Zipped Up

Zip some style into a cardigan with metal touches and jacket like qualities. Mix it up with one that has a knit base and leather sleeves.

Wear it with: A gray sheath dress and pointed toe flats.

Oversized

Toss one on that’s more like a blanket than a sweater. Go with a graphic and geometric print that takes inspiration from Native American traditional fabrics.

Wear it with: Black leggings, a long-sleeved silky top and thigh high boots.

Open Front

This style usually has a longer hem in the back and sides with no zippers or buttons in the front. It’s a simple, but upgraded take on a typical cardigan. Try one with an asymmetric collar to add dimension.

Wear it with: Denim shorts, a white button-down and leather ankle boots.

Belted

Cinch your waist and highlight your figure in a cardigan that’s more than hanging fabric. Swap the standard cloth belt out with a leather version.

Wear it with: A mid-length skirt, a scoop neck tee and flat sandals.

Avoid the traditional route and consider a cardigan that’s better than basic.
