Cardigan Sweaters That Will Keep Your Warm this Winter

1. Not only great as an accent, a good cardigan can be the centerpiece of an outfit, or an afterthought that you only put on to complement your look and stay warm.

Wear one with jeans, dress pants, leggings, even a fancy dress, a cardigan sweater is the perfect way to be warm without having to put a bulky jacket or hooded sweatshirt on over your evening gown.

Here is an eclectic selection of cardigan sweaters to warm your heart and your core:

Cedric’s Kimono Sleeve Button Front Coucle Cardigan

Designed by the revered Cedric and Norma Kirchner, this cardigan takes its inspiration for the traditional Japanese robes and transforms the style into an elegant and modern sweater-jacket meant for the sophisticated woman.

It has wide, kimono sleeves, a very wintery, looped texture and a relaxed silhouette. The Kimono Sleeve Button Front Cardigan is an upbeat alternative to the boring old-fashioned business jacket. It’s also ideal for curling up inside next to a fire with a book.

At $59, it features an eight-button front enclosure, a high, ribbed neck, and is made from 80 percent acrylic, 15 percent wool, and 5 percent nylon.

This sweater, available in black and purple, conveys great style that will turn heads at school, the office, a night out on the town, and, definitely, at home in front of the mirror.

Lace Stitch Trim Open Long Sleeve Cashmere Cardigan

Nothing is softer or more beautiful than cashmere.  This long and drapey cashmere cardigan is the ultimate in chic, and is stitched with the classic look of lace along the rolled-edged, open front and the cuffs.

The silky, 2-ply, cashmere luxury yarn breathes making this sweater excellent for layering and wearing in all types of weather.

Wear as part of a complete look with a pair of leggings and the matching, sleeveless, cashmere shell, designed with a high neck for the colder days.

Also available in salmon, the Cashmere Lace Stitch Trim Open Long Sleeve Cashmere Cardigan is a timeless classic that’s a real pleasure to wear.

Cedric’s Striped Drape Front Knit Cardigan

More on the lighter side, this cardigan features a mod design that will add the perfect touch of grace to jeans and a Pink Floyd T-shirt.

The drape style front seems to cascade as it hangs, and alternating navy and tan stripes break up the monotony of your less colorful workday.  Also, the bottom edge is textured with a navy, ribbed hem.

Hip and comfy, the Striped Drape Front Knit Cardigan offers a unique fit that veers from the traditional button-down styles of classic cardigans.

60 percent viscose and 40 percent cotton, the Striped Front Knit Cardigan is $40—an amazing style at an outstanding price.

Sisters Convertible Collar Button Front Belted Cardigan Sweater

An amazing piece, this fuzzy, acrylic sweater has as many different faces as there are people to wear it.  Buttoned it up for a turtleneck look, fold it down for a wing collar, wear it open, or unbutton it and secure it by its belt sash.

The self-belt sash lets you adjust the silhouette and shape of the sweater to suit the day, the occasion, or your taste at any given moment, and two horizontal pockets will keep your hands warm in the coldest weather.

$35, the Sisters Convertible Collar Button Front Belted Cardigan is made from 100 percent acrylic fiber, has a five-button enclosure, and is available in black, Bordeaux, or chocolate.

Kische “Ikebana” Ruffle Detail Cardigan

Alluring and sensual, the Kishe “Ikebana” Ruffle detail will add a touch of romance to any outfit.  With a sweeping ruffle hem and front, this is a Cardigan with a silhouette like aged wine or really good cheese.

Its tailored lines and sophisticated, soft construction create a slimming effect and the 80 percent rayon, 20 percent linen make this long-sleeve sweater a layer to replace all other layers.  Wear it to work or out on the town. This is a bold sweater that aims to impress.

With its fashionable tie-front closure, this is a great piece to pair with jeans and a daring belt for an outstanding, unique look.

For $50, the Kische “Ikebana” Ruffle Detail Cardigan is machine washable, so you can save on your dry cleaning bill.

In Cashmere One Button Long Sleeve Cashmere Cardigan

Forget the complicated, taxing stress of day-to-day life in this simple yet decadent cardigan sweater.

Incredibly warm and soft without being bulky and cumbersome, the In Cashmere One Button long Sleeve Cashmere Cardigan is also made from two-ply cashmere luxury yarn that keeps you warm without smothering you in heat.

The v-neck has one button—that’s all it needs to make its statement—and textured with soft pleating for a contemporary feel.

The In Cashmere One Button is crafted a little longer in length and features a relaxed silhouette that will do great justice to your figure.

100 percent cashmere, the In Cashmere One button Long Sleeve Cardigan, $83, comes in true black, Carmel Heather, cobalt, and merlot.
