This Classic Fall Staple Is in the Fashion Spotlight—27 Styles Worth Buying This Season

While the word "cardigan" may not exactly set your pulse racing, it's clear the classic staple is having a major moment this season. The humble basic never really left the runways or our wardrobes, but there was a fresh deluge of styles and iterations in the fall/winter 2024 collections that made us sit up and take note of the often-overlooked piece. Designers displayed the unassuming basic front and center, from bouclé styles at Chanel to structured silhouettes at Stella McCartney and prim pink pieces at Prada. Each collection gave their own twist to the unassuming knit.
Versatile and practical for fall—whether you style it with an A-line skirt or a low-rise pair of jeans—the librarian-esque knit will be a hero in your wardrobe. Opt for one in this season's biggest color trends, such as olive green, brown, or burgundy, for a trend-forward look. If you want to update your wardrobe with some fresh styles this season, keep scrolling as I share a whole host of new styles to get you excited about the French girl loved staple.
