There's just something about a cardigan. It can complete an outfit — be it loungewear [1] or something fancier [2] — and can even replace a coat [3] on less-chilly days. But, the best thing of all about cardigan sweaters has to be how cosy they are.
We looked through hundreds of options at Amazon and narrowed our list down to our 21 favourites. (And it wasn't easy!) Some of these are great in warmer weather (when sweater snuggles [4] only involves an extra light layer), while others are lined with fleece and even faux fur for the coldest nights. They come in dozens of solid colours and patterns, too, so no matter if you're seeking subtlety or being bold, there's an option in here that's absolutely perfect.
Check out our top cardigan sweater picks on Amazon ahead, and see which ones suit you.
