The leaves are changing and the pumpkinification of grocery store shelves is on full display—signs that is it is officially, and undeniably, fall. Sartorially, this means it’s sweater weather: a predictable development in the cycles of our wardrobes, sure, but still a deliciously cozy time to get dressed. While there are plenty of ways to get your wool and cashmere fix this season, one of our favorites has to be the cardigan.

For fall 2025, the closet chameleon feels more modern than ever, whether topping off a dress or tucked under a slouchy leather bomber. We love them for their charm, versatility, and ability to layer. With the right styling, a cardigan can easily take you from the office to after-hours, and you’ll be wearing it well into spring. Shop our favorites of the season and learn how to style them with the help of our edit, below.
