You’ve surely heard about “sweater weather”, the famous way of describing the fall to winter transition period. The winter-to-spring transition has its own version of the “sweater weather”, although the name doesn’t rhyme. This transitional period is a time perfect for cardigans, due to the windy, but sunny days. Sweaters are highly practical on colder days, but in order to prepare for the spring season, cardigans are way more practical, as they can be worn as jackets as well. If you want to embrace the cardigan season as well, this article is perfect for you. We have some styling tips for different cardigans so read along and get ready for this spring’s cardigan showdown.
Lightweight knits
The best way to embrace the sunny spring weather is to go for lightweight knit cardigans in neutral tones or pastel colors for the start of the season. These cardigans provide just enough warmth for cool mornings or evenings without feeling too heavy during the day. Pair them with a simple tee or tank top and jeans for a casual and comfortable look. If the spring weather is colder where you live, we have options for that as well.
Textured Cardigans
Experiment with printed or textured cardigans to add some uniqueness to your spring outfits. Look for floral prints, patchwork designs, or Aran stitches that add texture and meaning to your outfits. You can choose lighter or cozier pieces based on where you live. Pair these statement cardigans with basics so that you don’t overcrowd your look and let the cardigan shine.
Chunky knits
They’re highly popular right now, so why not embrace the trend of chunky knits. They’re heavier and warmer than our other suggestions, so make sure you wear them in the colder days of spring. Go for oversized styles with textured patterns like cable knit or 3d knitted details. You can get cropped chunky cardigans and add them to flowy dresses for a flattering contrast. You can also pair them with skinny jeans or leggings and ankle boots for a chill but stylish look.
Belted cardigans
If you wanna add some definition to your silhouette, do it by getting a longer cardigan and add a belt at the waist. You can wear it as a dress, outer layer or just throw it over any outfit and leave it unbuttoned. This is one of the most versatile cardigan styles, working well with dresses, jeans, leggings and any style of outfit you can think of. Make sure you choose a color that suits your wardrobe so that you can easily style it in any combination.
