A trusty cardigan is an integral part of any fall capsule collection since they’re the ultimate layering piece. You can wear them buttoned up for a polished, preppy look, over an autumnal dress, or your go-to T-shirt, without fully hiding what’s underneath. This season, oversized V-neck cardis are trending, but we’re also seeing tons of cropped options to complement the resurgence of high-rise, wide-legged jeans. If you’re after substance, and not just style (read: you actually want to stay warm as we transition into winter), look for a wool or alpaca-blend (Glamour editors love the versatile Madewell pick on this list which is lightweight, yet still helps them stave off frigid office air conditioner). In the market for a cashmere sweater? Check out the argyle number from Reformation for an Ivy-inspired aesthetic.
Without further ado, the best cardigans, according to Glamour editors, stylists, and our reviewers who wear them on repeat.
