Once the first crisp days of fall roll around, there isn’t a lot of knitwear. That’s why cardigan dresses (also known as button-down sweater dresses or long cardigans) are the perfect way to pile on wool and cashmere. Lightweight styles are thin enough to pair with your early-season staples, while heavier styles can completely replace your go-to coat in cold weather.
At Blumarine, a fur-collar cardigan is a retro-inspired iteration that would look super cool in any modern wardrobe. Meanwhile, at 3.1 Phillip Lim, a thin striped cardigan dress was used as a base layer under a chunky cropped knit. However, not every option comes in neutral shades (though there are plenty of styles that do). For something more interesting, the red iteration of Altuzarra is still refined enough for the office. Alternatively, a pop of purple from Christopher Esber will work perfectly with any fall hue you might be weaving into your look.
Put them on or off; the knitted cardigan dress can be worn with your favorite fall boots, clogs and even Birkenstocks. Don’t forget, they can still be used as real cardigans or layered over collared shirts or other dresses. Plus, they’re easy to pack for your upcoming fall vacation.
