Black Cardigans Will Always Be Chic, But These 5 Trending Colours Are Way More 2025

There's no better time of year to consider a knitwear refresh than when autumn tumbles into winter. Still brimming with inspiration from all of the new-season items dropping in stores and excited to style some of the pieces I already own that have been packed away for the past six months, this moment of motivation is the perfect time to assess my knitwear collection.

Whilst I own a couple of hero jumpers that have been pillars of my winter wardrobe for a few years now, this season, I've been seriously tempted to show more love to my cardigans. Having spent a good while scouring new-in sections and even longer scrolling through Instagram for styling inspiration, I've identified the five key cardigan colour trends that are taking off this winter. Of course, black will always be in as far as cosy cardigans are concerned, but what I found most interesting is how people are snapping up this reliable item in colours we know will be big in 2025.

Read on to discover the five cardigan colour trends to know about for winter and beyond.
