The humble cardigan has had a veritable glow-up in recent seasons. Hitting the runway under the likes of Fendi, Gucci, and more, and with regular outings on style-icons' backs, it's no longer reserved for your granddad. From Tyler, the Creator to Pharrell, the cardigan's rightful place as a must-have wardrobe element for any modern rotation has been cemented.
The problem was that until now it's been too warm to welcome the cardi. Now that the temperatures are dropping, we've got our eyes set on a few new pieces for the season. From Needles to Dries Van Noten, from mohair to fleece, there are cardigans every which way we look and we're basking in it.

Kapital's offering always revolves around top-of-the-range construction and materials. This neutral cardi features the brand's signature smiley motif stitched to each elbow as a playful pop.
Wales Bonner Artist Cashmere Blend Cardigan
Artist Cashmere Blend Cardigan
Wales Bonner
Wales Bonner's '70-leaning style plays into the hands of the cardigan. Forgoing the classic v-neck for a closer crewneck, this chunky knit is a refreshing departure from the norm.
Stüssy Shaggy Cardigan

Stüssy
We love shaggy knits and this Stüssy cardigan is doing it for us. The velveteen blend not only makes this a wildly cozy addition to the fall wardrobe but gives it a bold sheen to catch eyes.

WE11 DONE's simple logo is the subtle cable-knit design on this tonal blue cardigan. Finished with the signature oversized button panel which hangs down below the waist, this iteration is characteristically unorthodox.
Needles Mohair Cardigan
Japanese cult favorite Needles gets it done with a checked cardigan in an understated green colorway with the brand's go-to purple hue running through in check. Simple and highly effective.
Séfr Gote Cardigan
Séfr's collections are influenced by its founders' love of second-hand which is readily apparent with this patchwork cardigan. Proving that imperfection is often the key to real beauty, this piece is a serious seasonal highlight.
Beams Plus Fleece Cardigan
Fleece Cardigan
Beams Plus
A fleece cardigan is certainly new to us, but we're left wondering why we weren't made aware of this masterpiece earlier. What more could you want from your cardigan? Warm, no-fuss, with neutral stripe pattern? Perfect.
