Double Tap to Zoom

The humble cardigan has had a veritable glow-up in recent years. From being a staple for senior citizens to getting experimented with on the runway, you can now find the knitwear style everywhere — the cardigan's rightful place as a wardrobe staple has been cemented in the past few seasons.

And there's no shortage of outfits to back that up, from the street style OG Pharrell to The Mandalorian Pedro Pascal. But nobody has consistently backed the corner of cardigans quite like Tyler, The Creator.

While being at the forefront of fashion's continued preppy resurgence, (your welcome Eclectic Grandpas) through both his highly-coveted everyday style and his own brand le FLEUR, the California native has been a key player in changing the perception around cardigans.

Thanks in large part to his early adoption of cardigans all those years back, there's now no denying the power of a knit in 2024.

And as we enter the cold depths of fall and winter, we're once again looking for fitting garments like oversized shirts, fall-ready sneakers, or weatherproof jackets to go up against the elements, but nothing beats a cozy knitwear to wrap up in during the increasingly cold weather. And we're once again searching for the best cardigans on the market.

From the fuzziest of fuzzy mohair to distressed cardigans, down below you can find our favorite cardigans for fall.
