New Season Cardigans For Cooler Days
From Gucci to Khaite, designers are elevating knitwear like never before. Bold colours, prints, and patterns are juxtaposed with chic, classic designs as the cardigan becomes the most anticipated piece of the season. Prepare to embrace homespun style in the latest fashion knits.
The best part about chilly days? It has got to be the luxury of snuggling into a seriously soft cardigan. Understandably, the humble cardi has become a true favourite thanks to its comfort and style appeal. And yes, there will be those still questioning the frump factor, but stop the doubting and start styling. Thanks to a) designers (namely Khaite, Ami Paris, and Gucci) making them fabulous, b) a new appreciation for handcraft skills and c) a desire for lifelong pieces, the cardigan is most definitely not going anywhere fast and is 100% not frumpy. For extra warmth and laid-back vibes, pair with the ultimate shaggy coat, wide-leg jeans and this season’s hottest trainers.
Its cult status has much to do with Harry Styles. Not only did he appear on stage in JW Anderson’s multi-coloured patchwork cardigan, he also donned the front cover of Rolling Stone in a cable knit Marni cardi. I mean, the guy loves his knitwear. An onslaught of content creators quickly followed suit and was spotted in chic cardigans during fashion weeks across the globe.
While we may not be about to knit our own or go full-colour explosion a la Harry Styles, we know where to seek out our favourite pieces for a fresh new season feel. From understated tones—think classy creams, rust, and beige—to bolder shades, the high street has you covered, but don’t forget to shop small. Independent labels like Sheep Inc., The Knotty Ones, and L’envers focus on sustainability and design for longevity. You will love these pieces for life, not just for a season.
Colourful Cardigans
At Sheep Inc, each knitwear piece tells a story, starting with a single thread spun from the fleece of a hand-selected Merino sheep. The journey of every garment can be traced back to its origin, thanks to the innovative Connected Dot, an NFC tag ingeniously integrated into the hem.
