15 Reasons Your Wardrobe Isn't Complete Without a Great Cardigan

Cardigans have a reputation for being a boring layering piece, but we found 15 options that are anything but. In recent months, we've fallen back in love with the classic sweater style, because today, there are so many modern silhouettes, it's almost impossible to feel blah in a cardigan. If you've got a white tank top, a great pair of jeans, and a cute cardigan, you have an outfit that can take you pretty much anywhere you need to go.

With fall coming up, these are the 15 cardigans worth investing in right now. Whether you want a cosy cashmere piece, something vibrant and colourful, or one that's cropped and sexy, the options are endless. Keep reading to shop our selections.
