Some people have a thing for floors, shoes, or chocolate, but I absolutely cannot resist a charming cardigan. While they might be simple layering basics to some, I find something so irresistibly appealing about them, especially the type with pretty detailing like puff sleeves, fancy buttons, and sleek silhouettes. While you may associate them with fall and winter as an extra layer of coziness, I'm sharing some of my absolute favorites for the summer months ahead.

A stylish summer cardigan is not only versatile (it's easy to wear as a top or layer on cool summer nights and breezy summer days), but they're pretty darn cute too. In fact, the fashion set has been embracing them all over Instagram. Fitted and cropped cardigans, in particular, are having a moment, especially those with unique and captivating fabrics or details. If you, like me, have a weakness for cardigans, then scroll below to see the best summer cardigans to wear this warm-weather season.
