Crewneck Cardigans
The humble cardigan has been quietly leveling up. While the standard button-down sweater still has its place, a new wave of crewneck cardigans are doing more interesting work—cleaner lines, sharper proportions, and full plackets that run all the way to the collar. The result feels intentional and modern, with none of the fusty baggage that classic cardigans sometimes carry.
It's a little bit classic European with the edge of streetwear. These styles sit comfortably between polished and relaxed, working just as well over a tee as they do layered under a coat with proper trousers. We looked at several options to find three standouts at different price points, so whether you’re investing or just testing the waters, there’s one worth your money. Here are the best crewneck cardigans to buy right now.
