This fall, the cardigan reigns supreme

A cardigan is your ace in the hole for in-between-season style. In other words, it’s great to take with you to have on hand just in case. Now, beyond its role as a basic wardrobe item that goes with everything, the catwalk has consecrated it as one of the greatest hits of autumn 2023. Thanks to brands like Miu Miu, the cardigan has become one of this season’s key trends. Its perfect match? A pair of knitted knickers, at least according to Miuccia Prada, the brand’s creative director.Launchmetrics Spotlight

Street style has welcomed this new fashion ‘must,’ and we’re seeing it in all different versions. Oversize designs are among our favorites; of those, we especially like the pastel multicolored wool style that we saw Danish stylist Emili Sindlev wearing.Launchmetrics Spotlight

Of course, cardigans have also made a comeback in their more classic form and even in cropped versions. We’re telling you: the latter look especially good paired with high-waisted jeans.Launchmetrics Spotlight

Sailor stripes are one of the season’s most sought-after prints, and we love the navy spirit of this Mango jacket, which also features gold buttons. €39.99/$79.99Cortesía de Mango
