How to Choose Your Cardigan
Think first about length. A cropped cardigan ends at or just above the waist, so it pairs best with high waisted jeans, skirts and dresses that define the waist. A long cardigan or longline style falls past the hip and works as a light coat over leggings or straight jeans.
Next, think about weight. Cable knit cardigans and chunky knits are the warmest and have the most structure, so they suit fall and winter. Ribbed, eyelet and crochet styles are lighter and easier to layer through spring. A short sleeve cardigan sits somewhere in between and can be buttoned up and worn as a top on its own.
Fit varies by style. Open front and drop shoulder cardigans are cut relaxed, while ribbed cropped and bolero styles sit closer. Several cardigans come in Full Size runs, noted in the title. Check your bust and length against our size guide before you order.
How to Style Luxe Cardigans
- Button a cropped cardigan all the way up and tuck it into a midi skirt for a vintage feel.
- Wear a chunky cable knit open over a tee with straight leg jeans and boots.
- Use a ribbed bolero to cover the shoulders of a slip dress or a strappy sundress.
- Treat a leopard short sleeve cardigan as a top and pair it with solid trousers.
- Belt a longline cardigan over leggings for a cozy weekend outfit.
If you want a simple everyday knit instead, our main cardigans collection has more basics, and cropped sweaters and cable knit sweaters make great companions when you would rather pull something on.
Caring for Knit Cardigans
Check the care label first. Chunky and cable knit cardigans hold their shape best when washed gently, pressed rather than wrung, and dried flat. Fold them instead of hanging, since the weight of the knit can stretch the shoulders over time. Wash crochet, eyelet and embroidered cardigans inside out to protect the details.
