20 Best Cardigans For Women (2022 Updated)

I ordered the black and white. It is fantastic. There have been many cold days lately and this thing comes in handy. It is also very soft and a bit professional looking. I work from home, so it was a nice addition on some of my calls, it looked good.

I definitely recommend. I ordered a small and it fits great. I am about 130lbs and 5’4 and the small is perfect, I could probably even go xs. But with this item, you could go bigger or go smaller and it still seems like it would fit good and look good.

Bought this to wear at home when I’m working. Just received today and I love how soft it is. Fits well and the pockets are perfect. I have larger upper arms and it isn’t tight. I’m 5’5 1/2 and weigh 135 lbs and bought a medium because I like to layer.

It fits perfect. I bought the cream color and it is a very nice color. Well made, quality piece that I can easily wear at home, on errands or to dinner. Been looking for a sweater for two seasons and I’m glad to finally put the search to rest!.

It is super soft & comfy, size and length good, but I thought the sweater looked much more grey in person than lavender. Also the side seam pockets made it lay ackwardly. Given I had paid full price for this item, I was not inclined to have to alter it to make it wearable.

The bad pockets makes this looks like a much cheaper item.

I’m a little ashamed to admit I have this in almost every color but it’s really hard to find a good quality and good fitting cardigan so when I find one I like I like to stock up. I would recommend to size down but like one of the other reviews said I’ve had some in the same size that would run a bit bigger or smaller depending, but either way it’s stretchy and still looks good whether it’s a little big or small.

Plus the price is amazing for the quality. Had them for a while and even after several washings still no pilling and feel just like new. Have received many compliments and would definitely recommend, and have!.

I was looking for black long open cardigan, and found one at walmart and one from a expensive brand. The original price of the expensive brand was $60, but was $19 on sale. I went home and tried them both on and was surprised to find out the walmart brand one was much softer and comfy, yet stylish!! Not too long, just the right length, with pockets on right place.

Was so pleased bought grey one, apple juice one, and another color, can’t remember the name. Apple juice color is so pretty! But noticed for some reason apple juice color material feels thicker, and runs a bit smaller, which I was glad cause Im a small person.

I really wished walmart had more xs options, I would be buying more walmart brand!! Anyways, get this cardigan!.

The color is lovely, the style is fine. The overall look is nice, especially if you have matching pants. But, I bought two of these cardigans and they both ripped at the neck in the back. So, would I buy another one? Yes, if it was on sale and I was in the mood to reinforce a neckline.

It was very dismaying as I had no way to fix them, at the time, and, I had purchased them as a current serious need, to wear at a place where other people are and they will be noticing what you are wearing.

If it was for being at home, doing yard work, I wouldn’t have minded as much; except they were around $16 -$17 plus tax and that’s pretty expensive for a fall-apart garment.

This cozy cardigan is worth having. I got a medium, but should have ordered a small. It runs a little bigger. I would recommend going down a size. The material has a good stretch to it and it is so nice to wear anywhere and be comfortable with whatever you decide to where with it.

I got the burnt orange and the black one (not brown) of this sweater. The orange fits perfectly but the black one was kind of big. The sleeves were longer and the body of the sweater overall felt a little too big.

When I wear it, I feel kind of swallowed by it. So I think there’s some inconsistencies with sizing. I will keep it though because Lord knows if I go back to Target to return something I WILL walk out with 365 things I didn’t need.

Other than that, it is probably the most comfortable sweater I have. It’s incredibly soft and I have to stop myself from wearing it around the house. I explicitly bought them for my cold office at work and it keeps me very warm.

Would recommend.

Nice and soft, substantial weight that will be perfect for fall as the weather gets cooler. The “Brown” color is really pretty and more like a rust or burnt orange that reminds me of fall leaves. This sweater is really oversized- and not in a good trendy way but more in a not so good frumpy way.

I got my usual size Medium because I like oversized cardigans but I should have listened to other reviewers who said it runs really big. I exchanged for a Small and it’s still plenty oversized- in a good way.

Size down on this one for sure. For reference I’m about 5’ 1” and 140 lbs.

Outstanding quality. Super soft, perfect weight. Not overly bulky or too thin. Can be dressed up or down. I usually size up for this brand but sized down since it is an open cardigan. Fit was perfect – this is a generous cut.

If you’re on the fence or between sizes you may want to consider sizing down for a sleeker fit.  For a more casual oversized look with plenty of room order your normal size.  If I had sized up per usual I would be returning this because it would’ve been too big.

 I wish it came in more colors I like because I would order a bunch of these. .

I’ve been looking everywhere for my perfect grey sweater, cardigan specifically, and this one hit the nail on it’s head. It’s not too long or short, bulky or thin, it’s just perfect. And it’s cozy for all seasons.

even on a summer night in Michigan. The sleeves and collar are very flattering. which adds just the right amount of style without looking too trendy. or too plain. (5″/100 lbs).

I love this cardigan. It is so soft and comfortable.

The material is nice & thick, but the edges along the chest are uneven and I am worried they will unravel over time. But my biggest disappointment was the sleeves were not long enough. I bought it for my daughter who is quite slim (6′, 125#) so XS Tall was the right size (she’s skinny in the shoulders), but the sleeves barely cover her wrists.

I’m afraid with one wash and they will be too short. I expected more! Also, the way your website talks about measuring sleeves is weird – when I followed the instructions, my daughter’s measurement was 34″ and the XS Tall said it was 36.

5″ so I thought it would nice and long – super frustrating to come up short. (Also, you should let me upload pics so you can see).

Love it. I’m 6’2” with proportionate legs/arms, size 16/18. This is amazing. Hits mid-shin in length, quality of sweater is great; super thick, pretty snag resistant, and super convenient deep pockets.

I now have one of each color. This is warm enough to use in the 40-50 degree fall days in WI, and stretches enough to be non-restricting and comfortable.

Great weight. Cozy but still elegant and great for work. shipping has always been quick, efficient and problem free. Sizing is perfect. I have ordered numerous pieces and never had to return or exchange.

Some tall clothes are more cheaply made. These are not. And they are proportionate…. not just fabric added to shorter clothes. I am happy with American Tall!.

It’s dark grey not black. So will see if it matches my wardrobe and if not will return. After reading reviews I sized down. I got a medium and I’m a size 16. It’s a good fit in medium and length is good with my height 5’6.

I think the material will Bobble so I’m wary whether or not to keep. I’ve had many jumper dresses before from H&M and they bobbled very quick. Other than that the cardigan is very nice on and flattering.

LOVE!!! I know its crazy ordering a cardigan in a heat wave but I know i need this & will get loads of wear out of it. Its not a solid black but it is black ( more like a charcoal black) & is super comfy.

Love the sleeves – great length / good cuffs & the length of the cardi is perfect for me at 5’5 – just between midcalf & ankle Im a size chunky 22 & the L is perfect so i would say this is oversized but not massively.

A staple for the autumn wardrobe for sure ( No pockets but thats ok as they would be to bulky i think).

Absolutely lovely cardigan. I am size M, chose this one in S and it’s perfect. I could have gone for size XS as well but preferred a bit extra room. The fabric is not itchy, rather soft and feels somehow tiny bit sleek 🙂 it doesn’t lose the fluff.

I am 5’38” and its length is perfect, a nice bit below my bum.

I like the cardigan since it’s 100% cotton, but after washing it in delicate cycle, and drying on drying rack, it had a lot of lint. I wore with white cotton blouse and the lint was all over. This makes me wonder about the quality of cotton used.

I’m hoping this will not be the case after couple washes. Otherwise it looks good with skirts or, dress pants, or pair of jeans.

Bought the navy because the black and green of last season that I had purchased were so great. They had not streched or color-washed, so I am glad new colors were available for fall. Nice fit, long and fitted enough.

I am large-busted (36G) and did not feel I needed a L (bought in M). Well-finished with tight pockets and finished wrists. Good quality for the price.

I bought this in the Jade color about 6 weeks ago and I’ve worn it nearly every day. Our home is always a bit chilly in the fall, winter and early spring. Since I work from home, I like to have a lightweight cardigan to slip on in the morning, late afternoon and evening.

This cardigan is perfect! It’s very comfortable, not bulky and washes beautifully. The styling and color are so attractive, it’s perfect to wear with a white or black turtleneck and a pair of slim-leg knit pants when I meet with clients in my home.

I ordered another today in Fresh Lavender.

Bought this in two vibrant colors, petite sizing, and the sleeves on the red are really short. The green one has two different length sleeves! I honestly thought the sleeve was 3/4″ length when I first put it on, until I saw the other sleeve was just short.

So one sleeve barely touched my wrist, while the other was several inches shorter than that and I’m only 5′ 2″ tall.

This is just the piece I need to throw on when it’s cold and don’t want to go through the trouble of thinking through whether it’s presentable or not. Per the recommendation of many who have gone before me, I order two sizes of the Chunky Cardigan in black, a medium and a large.

I’m a true medium, but can fit in some small; so small-medium, if you will. The Cardigan is a good weight and will keep you warm as the “holes” that you often see in chunky knits are nonexistent. I could go out in this with a tee or a tank underneath on a mildly cold day in the south, and be fine.

So, this was a good thing. On the sizing, I found the medium to be tight-fitting and too cropped for my taste. The listing on the site doesn’t appear to tight and so I was surprised by that, let alone how cropped it was.

The large, on the other hand, is just right as it drapes better, looks “chunky” and is cropped at the right place for my straight build. I’m just dealing with the longer arms since I sized up, but it’s not a big deal as it adds to that “chunky” feature.

Even with the sizing, I’m happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

I’m 5’4 and this works well over super high waisted leggings / jeans since you don’t want to pull down to lengthen – spoils the look. The arms are long enough and roomy and the weave is super cozy. The funnel neck is not functional.

I cannot zipper up all the way and be comfortable. The brown color is very orangey – I got that first and it didn’t look like it wd match well with items in my wardrobe. It’s not a soft color. I exchanged for black and love it much more.

I’m a M in most things and got that size. Could size up if length is longer but I think the arms wd be huge then.

I love this sweater, especially in 100%cotton. It’s unique and timeless, something I’ll be able to wear forever. However, given that the models you’ve shown are thin and the sweater appeared very full on them, I knew a size XS would fit, especially in the arm length.

What I didn’t expect was that the body length would be so short. I’m VERY short, yet the sweater hits me at about the exact same place on the hip as your quite tall model. I hadn’t expected that length.

Otherwise, I completely love the sweater!.

This cardigan was everything I hoped it would be. The deep wine color is beautiful, and it is heavy and thickly constructed like the sweaters that were made 25 years ago. The drape is just lovely! I am petite with a short torso, so it’s longer on me, but it doesn’t look weird at all.

Someone else complained about the pockets but I actually like them and don’t find them problematic. You can’t see them at all when the cardigan is draped normally by your sides, and you can only see them a bit when you wrap it tightly around you.

I have wide hips and didn’t see any problem with how it looked. I can tell I will have this piece for a very long time. Sizing: I ordered my normal size small and find that it is plenty roomy. My chest is 37, waist is 30-31, hips around 41, bra size is 36A.

I got both the frosted gray marl and the saddle. The colors are both great neutrals that will match lots of outfits! The weight of the material is perfect to wear over multiple seasons. During the summer I’ve been able to wear it over tank tops inside where the air conditioning makes everything cold! However, the sleeves are also wide enough that long sleeve shirts can be worn underneath as well during winter and fall.

Wonderful quality and material. As other reviewers mentioned if you’re on the shorted end, the sweater will be longer than on the model, however it didn’t look awkward. Highly recommend!.

Got this in both the Saddle and the Frosty Gray Marl. Cannot imagine what color I can’t wear with the Frosty Gray Marl, it should look good with everything from orange to lavender, and the Saddle speaks for itself.

It will be excellent with jeans, black, white or cream, and every Autumn hue, for any time of year, but particularly perfect in Fall. Soft, snuggly, but not too heavy, beautiful drape and design, I plan to wear these gorgeous sweaters for years.

Thrilled with them! Definitely do run large and long, but I got my usual size because that is the fit I wanted. Finest quality sweaters ever. Love them.

good warm extra layer, over another 2 thinnish layers of wool/polyester blend to stay comfortable in an unheated house at about 13-14C max — Mediterranean climate winter . Thanks

I like this sweater and it fits well. Its a heavier fabric than expected. Price was great and I recommend this, if need a basic plus size open front cardigan.

I recently bought this in Large, Tan Cobblestone Heather. It is a great neutral light beige color, perfect for layering with different colors. I needed a light sweater to wear on the airplane and for early summer weather (55-65 degrees).

It’s a great sweater that I wore with a light white shirt or tan tank top. It soften up over time & washing. Will likely get it in Grey, Black and another summer color!.

I purchased this cardigan in black, gray, and tan and will keep them all. This cardigan has a nice medium weight. It is textured but not scratchy. Very easy and flattering. I love the loose fit and length.

Great to have to throw over an outfit in the evenings during the Summer or to use when traveling.

TL;DR I am 5’3, about 140lbs, 34C bra, wide upper back, Medium fits me perfectly. Well, this one shocked me, I have to say. Normally I don’t like the items that get hyped online, and I have never had any luck with Madewell except for one top a few years ago, so I honestly expected to return this.

but now you couldn’t pry this out of my hands! It’s a perfect weight, feels substantial but not overwhelming, warm but not hot or suffocating, and it’s the exact right length to be flattering on me. Long cardigans make me look frumpy due to my height and torso length, and short ones aren’t very comfortable for me.

This hits at the middle of my rear, which is perfect. That means I can wear it with anything, which is what I wanted! I would – dare I say – pay full price for this??!! The color Lighthouse is much nicer than it looks online, a beautiful cream/vanilla ice cream color.

If it comes back in your size just grab it!.

So first off true to size if you want it to look oversized like the model. I’m a true small in madewell and got a small and it fit just like the model. I loved the sleeves on this, but the material just wasn’t soft and was more stiff for a cardigan.

Also where it hung on me just felt weird. After years of wearing longer cardigans, I think it was too short for my liking. Overall it was a cute cardigan, but I knew it wasn’t my style so I returned… had this been longer it may have been a different story, bc like I said I love the balloon sleeves with the bobble/dot detailing.

and its my go to sweater. I love it. I Just adore the Golden Meadow = that color is perfection for fall. I even went bk to see if they had more colors to choose. Its so comfy and no fuss no muss. The material is darling.

And pockets too! Sleeves gives that extra touch. YAY highly recommend it to my Nordstromers. LOL BTW RE SIZE imma large got the medium – didn’t know why but was perfect-it is nice and generous!.

I’ve been wearing this about a month now and it is very soft and comfortable. It does not wrinkle. Have only washed it once and did not put in the dryer, seemed to hold up alright. I like it just fine.

It’s a bit boring to shop for basics in your wardrobe, but absolutely necessary. Cardigan is just perfect length wise and colour wise. Very versatile

Bobbled badly after 1st wash and was hung outside to dry. Used a lint roller but looks as if its years old. Was a nice fit.
