Women's Cardigans Autumn 2026

12 Trendy Styles and Outfits to Pair Them With

You might have considered it just a comfortable garment, but the cardigan is so much more. It is the return of a classic that reinvents itself, transforming into an essential and sophisticated element of the wardrobe. Practical, yet never predictable, it is perfect for completing your looks with a touch of elegance.

From the soft and enveloping cashmere cardigan to wool styles with precious details, all the way to long cardigans that enhance the silhouette, you are sure to find your ideal piece among these 12 models.

 

Cashmere cardigans

Imagine wearing a cloud, but a cloud that keeps you warm without being felt. Cashmere is precisely this: a yarn so soft it feels almost imperceptible, yet incredibly enveloping. The camel cashmere cardigan, featuring a relaxed line and a V-neck, is the wild-card garment to have in your wardrobe, perfect both with casual denim and elegant trousers.

 

If you are looking for a more fluid volume that discreetly elongates the figure instead, you will love the honey cashmere cardigan: a long style in pure cashmere finished with ribbed hems featuring a central relief, versatile and sophisticated for colder days.

Wool cardigans

If cashmere is a precious treat, wool is a material that never fails you. The olive green wool cardigan in extrafine pure merino wool is an essential garment with a flared line and round neck, ideal to wear every day for a practical and chic ensemble.

 

However, wool can also be enveloping and dramatic. The night blue wool cardigan in pure wool with a funnel neck and turn-up lapels proposes a cocoon line that adjusts at the waist with a matching belt. And for those who love oversized silhouettes that can also be worn as a cape, the burgundy pure wool cardigan adopts a links-stitch knit with a shawl collar and kimono sleeves.

Long and elegant cardigans

Long women's cardigans combine comfort and refinement, becoming ideal alternatives to light coats. The red brick jacquard cardigan wins you over with its robe-style line and kimono sleeves in matte viscose, perfect for giving character to a neutral look.

 

Even more refined is the black and white embroidered viscose jacquard cardigan, embellished with exquisite hand-made dégradé embroidery. If you are looking for a soft piece with folk inspiration, the burgundy brown wool jacquard cardigan features a Fair Isle pattern in wool Cordonnet yarn, while the black and white mohair jacquard cardigan in brushed yarn adds a graphic, contemporary touch to the outfit.

Cotton, viscose and patterned cardigans

When the cardigan takes centre stage, the details truly make the difference. The dark brown ribbed knit cardigan is a meticulously crafted model in stretch viscose featuring a shirt collar, openwork knitting, and a matching plain-knit belt. For those who love functional, modern pieces, the biscuit viscose cardigan in Milano stitch stands out with its polo collar and adjustable drawstring cuffs. Finally, the ivory viscose jacquard cardigan brings movement to the design thanks to a wave pattern intarsia, confirming the versatility of this season's knitwear.
