This sweater is a staple in fashionable styles for fall 2025. The world's it-girls style it in many ways.
It's cozy, comfortable, and incredibly versatile—it works well as an element of both casual and elegant outfits. It's no wonder the cardigan takes pride of place in most women's wardrobes this time of year. Top designers made it a staple in their collections this season, showcasing a range of layered looks on the runways, with cardigans taking center stage.
It can be short and figure-hugging or oversized and elongated. The cardigan has long been one of the most classic and versatile pieces in a woman's wardrobe. Coco Chanel discovered its potential in the early 20th century. The legendary French designer recognized the significant advantage of the cardigan – unlike its pullover counterparts, the cardigan didn't damage the hairstyle. Thanks to the founder of the iconic fashion house, Chanel, who paired the cardigan with a perfectly matching skirt, it became a slightly less formal alternative to the restrictive jacket. And it immediately won the hearts of women around the world.

Cardigans have recently appeared on the runways of many top designers. Missoni offered a series of layered looks, featuring warm, oversized cardigans that double as knit jackets. At Gucci's fall/winter collection, a bright green oversized cardigan was paired with a patterned pencil skirt and a sheer top, while at Miu Miu , a cardigan with casually dropped shoulders was part of a knitted total look. Stella McCartney, meanwhile, opted for an avant-garde twist on the cardigan, enhancing it with a hood and sewn-in shoulder pads.

And they can be worn in a variety of ways. The simplest solution is to pair a short, fitted sweater with a midi skirt. To add an urban flair to the outfit, consider a denim or leather skirt.
