9 Affordable Cardigans Worth Their Weight in Gold
With winter rolling in ever so soon, we know that you’re probably peeking through your wardrobe to see what clothes could possibly keep you warm, comfortable and effortlessly stylish for the colder months. And like most of us, you probably can’t see anything that will make the cut this season. You just don’t have anything (well, you do, but you’re just not feeling any of the 20 coats you’ve already amassed)!
However we’re merely in autumn, so you’ll need something to fight the chill. But you won’t need anything bulky till winter comes along. A cardigan is the solution to your wardrobe woes and we’ve lined up our top 9 affordable cardigans that’ll do just the trick for this season... and the next!
This is the everyday cardigan that’ll see you through everyday. Its simple design makes it an easy piece to throw on when you don’t want to think too much about your outfit. A navy hue means you’ll be able to match it with most of your basics. A piece that’s slimming on the arms and clings in all the right places.
Taking comfort and style up a notch, this lapelled cardigan adds a hint of elegance and maturity to your entire look. We think it’s important to have a light, neutral-coloured item in your arsenal to match you light pink tops and cream coloured items, so this will be a great investment if you’re not always in darker shades.
If you’re an animal print lover, this is the cardi for you. Perfect for adding a bit more edge to your look, this cardi looks great with vintage band t-shirts and ripped black jeans. We reckon a nice fedora wouldn’t hurt either, making for the perfect rocker look even if you’re just popping out for a coffee with the girls.
Riding on the “cardi” tails of the Primrose piece, this similarly lapelled cardigan makes for the perfect throw over piece for work or formal events. Not only is the tailoring immaculate and the shape universally flattering, it’s also warm, cosy and extremely elegant no matter what setting you’re in. Match it with a designer handbag and you’ll exude pure class!
A versatile number that can be worn as a cardigan or a top. You’ll always have basic coloured cardigans in your wardrobe, but this pop of colour is for those wanting a signature piece they’ll keep for a long time coming. Comfortable, lightweight and with just the right amount of warmth, this lovely lilac cardigan will add brightness and fun to your look without overpowering your makeup and accessories (due to the dusty shade). A cute cardi you can’t go wrong with.
If you were ever wondering if the perfect travel coat existed, guess what. It does and it’s the Zuzu. Half coat half cardigan, this lightweight and durable piece is the perfect travel companion to keep you rugged up and still looking fashionable from the uber to the tarmac. With pockets and a gorgeous rust hue to energise you (we believe colours have an effect on mood) you’ll be organised and travel-ready come your next big break!
Just when you thought our cardigans couldn’t get any better, this one comes WITH A BELT! Cinching at the waist to create a flattering figure, this collarless piece screams sophistication and style. We’d wear this to both an art exhibition as well as a jazz bar as its timeless and unique design makes it the perfect cardigan for the artist at heart.
Feeling like a princess today? Well, your regal robe would have to be the Cascada Coatigan, a warm and loose item that’ll leave you pretty in pink! Perfect for every occasion and a stunning pastel shade to have you feeling ultra feminine, this is also your go to cardigan for when you don’t know what to wear but just want to look cute.
The perfect chunky knit for those who love a touch of vintage to their outerwear. Reminiscent of nan’s warm knits but 100x more stylish (and flattering), the chunky knit is a great item for those who want to stand out from the crowd and not compromise on comfort. Great with ripped jeans or even shorts, this loose hanging cardigan is sure to be a faithful companion for years to come.
We’ve got a whole host of knits and cardigans you’ll absolutely love for seasons to come. Have a peek at our collection and start preparing for your cosiest and most stylish winter to come.
Stay warm!
