As we trade in our trendy white tank tops<\/a> for warmer layers to keep us cozy on chilly days, we\u2019re keeping an eye out for the best sweaters on the market, from\u00a0chunky knits to turtlenecks. One style in particular is a fall staple (and obsession): the cardigan.\u00a0
\u00a0
The button-front sweater has been a longtime transitional-weather go-to<\/a>, but it started making headlines a few years ago, when micro versions<\/a> dominated New York Fashion Week. As you can imagine, fashion enthusiasts and celebs ate it up \u2014 and they’re still excited by them. Brands are finding ways to make them feel fresh: At the Fall\/Winter 2025 shows <\/a>(and<\/em> the most recent Spring\/Summer 2026 shows), the likes of Coach, Lingua Franca, Kate Barton, and Tanner Fletcher used sweaters and cardigans as styling hacks \u2014 throwing them over shoulders, around waists, and through bag handles, offering easy access as the weather changes throughout the day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, from preppy stripes and luxe cashmere to bright hues and cool cropped silhouettes, cardigans are as popular as ever and here to complement your fall \u2018fits (especially if you\u2019re trying to channel the cozy Gilmore Girls<\/em> look<\/a>). Here are the 24 best sweater-jacket hybrids around to add to your wardrobe ASAP. <\/p>\n
