10 Best Selling, Budget Friendly Cardigans
It’s sweater weather!! A comfy, cozy cardigan is one of my favorite layering pieces because it takes an o.k. top and bottom and turns it into a complete outfit. You get a more pulled-together look without the formality that comes with a blazer. Here are 10 hot-selling cardigans that I’ve been wearing that are cute and affordable.

1. Sleek Duster
Sometimes, I’m in the mood for that long duster look, and that’s when I reach for this lightweight long length cardigan that is simple and sleek. They call this Burgundy but it looks more plum to me. Whatever the case, it is a real knockout with an all-black or a pair of blue jeans!

2. Long Cableknit
If you like a long cardigan but prefer more texture, then this is a beauty. It’s a cableknit in front, but a regular knit at the back. I love the classy cream color cardigan and edged in black it looks elegant and timeless.

3. Oversize Boyfriend Cardigan
Long dusters, cropped sweaters…. sometimes it’s hard to find something in between. This oversize boyfriend cardigan comes in many fabulous colors. I wear it with my favorite dress: Spanx perfect wide-leg pants. This is the ideal work cardigan, and it’s not too long if you are petite.

4. Leopard Print Cardigan
This stylish leopard cardigan is the lightest I own. It’s similar to the long pink cardigan I shared earlier in the post but shorter. Animal prints + this lightweight knit are perfect for layering and work year-round.
This no-brainer investment will be a versatile staple in your wardrobe, and the best part is animal print goes with everything!

5. Cropped Chunky Knit
Chunky knits have been popular, but they can be a little overwhelming in a long length, so if you like the look, try a cropped, chunky knit cardigan. This is the perfect sweater to go with all the high-waisted pants out there. Wear it as is with the sleeves pushed up, or layer a light top underneath and wear it open with jeans. That pink has punch, but it comes in other colors too.

6. Chic Lady Cardigan
This is one of my favorite cardigans this year because it looks so classy and is not expensive. I always love lady jackets, but sometimes they feel stiff. A lady jacket cardigan is a great way to get that Chanel-inspired look but not feel so formal.
Check out these Mott and Bow jeans, too. They fit great, and I’ve been wearing them with everything. The slingbacks are a must-have, too. They are adorable and, yes, comfortable!

7. Cableknit Cardigan
Cableknit cardigans are as classic as possible, but that doesn’t mean they look dowdy. This cute short cable knit cardigan has the popular grandpa feel with the big pockets, and that is classic with a twist. The rust color is gorgeous, and the length is perfect.
This is a great sweater because it gives the vibe of a trendy grandpa sweater, but it’s not big and bulky. I love the streamlined look, especially when you push up the sleeves to make it look more sporty. I added a belt for a modern twist.

8. Modern Cropped Cardigan
Here’s another cropped cardigan, but it’s a regular knit, not chunky. This one has a slimming V-neck and the relaxed drop makes it an easy fit. The espresso color is beautiful and looks great paired with black jeans and an animal print top for a chic black and brown look.

10. Pretty in Pink
If this Barbie pink cardigan looks familiar, you can jump back to #1. It’s the same duster but in pink. I like it so much that I bought it in two colors.
This time, I’m wearing it with one of my favorite print tops – a soft knit shirt that is easy to mix and match with so many things.
