Trending cardigans: winter’s favourite piece!
Cardigans are very much on trend this season..
Cropped, loose and fluid, oversized or extra-long cardigans have become this season’s must-have item. That’s why we have brought together 5 cardigan styles, with different ways to wear them and suggestions.
1-Slim-Fit Cropped Cardigans;
A trend that has made its way back to us from the 90s. It is one of the star pieces that Parisian dressers always wear.. For a look that is both casual and sexy, you can also undo the cardigan’s buttons (especially at the bottom) for a bold effect.. Bella and Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Katie Holmes, for example, have well and truly embraced this trend.
This way you can achieve a look that is bold, sweet, sexy and elegant all at once.
2-Cardigans in Ecru and Beige Tones
These tones have been incredibly on trend in winter, especially for the past few years! Because when you wear monochrome tones (shades of the same colour), it creates a seriously cool look. They also go beautifully with café-au-lait shades, camel and denim..
3-Colourful and Oversized Cardigans
Just as there are plenty of neutral tones this winter, colourful pieces are out in force too. They also give you energy in cold weather. For example, you can wear a spaghetti-strap or strapless bodysuit or a bralette underneath to make this slouchy look a little sexier.. Once again, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are among the pioneers of this trend..
4-Layer on Layer (Layering)
Combine the cardigan trend with the layering trend and you can create exciting looks. For instance, like Olivia Palermo, you can wear 2 cardigans on top of each other. You can wear one over a satin camisole, or create a slouchy look over a shirt as in the other photo. You can add detail to this look with belts that draw attention to the waist, even statement chunky, chain or embellished belts..
5-Extra-Long Slouchy Cardigans
Comfort-lovers and free spirits will adore these cardigans, which are among the trend pieces again this year. You can also make them more feminine with different belts and add volume to the cardigan. You can even wear one as a dress, with nothing underneath.

Care and buying tips for trending cardigans
If you want to wear a cardigan for many years, pay particular attention to its fabric. Wool and cashmere-blend cardigans keep you warm and drape more beautifully over time. Cotton and acrylic blends, on the other hand, are lighter and easier to care for. Storing knitwear folded rather than on a hanger also prevents sagging at the shoulders and loss of shape. Finally, following the instructions on the label and choosing a low temperature when washing reduces pilling.
- Cropped cardigan: Balances proportions with high-waisted trousers and skirts.
- Oversized cardigan: Worn with a slim-fit bottom, it pulls the silhouette together.
- Long cardigan: Cinched at the waist with a belt, it can look as chic as a coat.
