Take inspiration from Chloé, Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci, and embrace this season’s must-have cardigan style.


The best thing about knitwear, aside from the fact that you’ll always get a lot of use out of it, is that when new trends come along, you can almost guarantee you’ll already own some. Unlike other fashion pieces that may fall out of favour after a season or two, cardigans remain a constant favourite. 

This year, the classic knit has been getting a lot of attention after being a favourite on the autumn/winter 2024 runways at Chloé, Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci, who put the round-neck style on the catwalk, and now everyone wants to get their hands on one.

While Anna Sui paired heavily patterned cardis with matching checked beanies, socks and grandma-style skirts, she probably didn’t intend for it to be worn on a trip to the supermarket. So instead, layer over a white T-shirt but wear with a mini skirt, tights and loafers to nod to the haute way to wear. 

The high street has plenty of iterations of this timeless knit, including great options at H&M, M&S and Mango, so it’s easy to find a style that suits you. But make sure you follow one simple style tip: always button up. Wearing the cardigan as though it were a top is the way to make something that has the potential to look dated feel fresh.
