Cardigans for Women

Cardigans for women

A classic cardigan for women is considered to have a button placket and be made of fine cotton or wool. Modern cardigans are also available without buttons, and instead have a tie, knot or no closure at all. They usually give a classic look, but can also become real it-pieces with a sophisticated design. A combination of cardigan and sweater made of the same material is known as a twin set and has been worn by fashion icons like Jacky Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn. Patterned, chunky knit, with a fur trim or made with sophisticated cashmere - take inspiration from the variety of cardigans and discover a model that suits you.

Wear cardigans with style

Boring cardigans are a thing of the past. Today, cardigans are a versatile option for both elegant and casual outfits. For those who are looking for something out of the ordinary: With an extravagant design, they can even become an absolute fashion statement! Worn with business trousers and over an elegant blouse, the cardigan for women creates a stylish office look that exudes confidence and class in daily business. Perfect for long days in the office or meetings on business trips. For a completely different look, wear the cardigan with jeans and a shirt. This combination creates a casual leisure appearance and a practical daily look that is ready for all your everyday to-dos. If you thought that a cardigan can only be worn with jeans and trousers, you were wrong – the modern cardigan is not called a real all-rounder for nothing. Fashionistas also wear knit cardigans over a simple sheath dress or a modern mini dress. On colder days, a women’s cardigan made of wool will keep you warm and cozy. Cardigans for women made of viscose feature a shiny look and are an elegant choice for special occasions. This season, trendy oversized cardigans are also in demand. Long styles with dropped shoulders look casual - worn with high heels and boyfriend jeans you will impress in a hip street style look.

Frequently asked questions about cardigans for women

Which women’s cardigans are modern now?

This season, women’s cardigans with stripes in stylish boxy shapes are especially trendy. Of course, the matching short cut cardigan should not be missing. If you prefer a more extravagant look, you should wear cardigans with a chic collar or fashionable wrap cardigans this year.

What is the difference between a knitted cardigan and a regular cardigan?

Basically there is not too much difference between a knitted cardigan and a regular cardigan. Nevertheless, a knitted cardigan mostly has a more chunky knit and is therefore warmer, while a regular cardigan is thinner and often made of materials such as cashmere, silk or merino wool. For this reason, unlike knitted cardigans, regular cardigans can definitely be worn on formal occasions.

What is the special feature of a cardigan?

A cardigan is primarily characterized by its V-neck and the characteristic button placket, which usually starts on the chest and extends to the waist. Furthermore, many cardigans have so-called bishop sleeves or puff sleeves, in which the sleeve cuff is kept narrower than the rest of the sleeve and narrowly encloses the wrist. 

Which shirt goes with the cardigan?

Under a women’s cardigan you should ideally wear a basic shirt. The color of the shirt can vary according to the cardigan. Colors such as white, cream or black, however, fit just about anywhere. However, it's best to wear figure-hugging shirts under a short women’s cardigan instead of oversized cut models.
