Cardigans For Autumn Nights

We love a buttoned cardigan over a cami with straight-leg jeans and ankle boots. For a laid-back look, wear your cardigan open over a graphic tee and finish with sneakers.

Cotton, wool, and blended yarns are common in fall cardigans. Cotton knits are great for lighter layers, while wool adds warmth for cooler evenings. Ribbed and cable-knit textures bring extra detail to a simple outfit.

Start with a tank, cami, or short-sleeve tee for an easy layered look. When temperatures drop, try a thin long-sleeve top or turtleneck. A lighter base layer keeps things comfortable under a chunky knit.

Both work—it’s all about how you want to style it. Wear it open to show off a graphic tee or contrasting layer, or button it over a cami for a sweater-like look. Leaving a few lower buttons undone can add movement.

Burgundy, olive, rust, and chocolate brown bring fall color to your outfit. Cream, gray, and black are easy to pair with light- or dark-wash jeans. We also love a colorful cardigan with a simple tee and black jeans.
