15 Cropped Cardigans to Rely On This Fall

Yes, sweater weather has finally arrived, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to completely forget about those summer staples, especially crop tops. In fact, cropped cardigan sweaters are having quite a moment. Brands like Etro, Vince, and Ottolinger are already betting they’ll be on our radars throughout spring 2021.

This week alone, Kendall Jenner, who is a consistent early adopter of trends, stepped out wearing three different cropped cardigans (two with bike shorts, of course, and one layered over a maxi dress). And she’s just one of the many fans of the waist-hugging knits.

I totally get the obsession. I mean, what other closet staple gives you the coziness of a chunky knit and the easy-going vibes of a summer essential? None of them. So, here’s a list of all the dreamy cropped cardigans that are sure to get anyone in the mood for fall dressing.
