Cardigans Are My Secret Weapon Every Spring—I Love These 36 Under-$100 Picks

When it comes to a cardigan, I’m going to buy it. My collection is up to a whopping 15—an unfathomable number given how tiny my closet is in my shoebox-style NYC apartment. Cardigans are my bread and butter at this point. Not only are they ultra cozy for fashionable homebodies, but they’re also effortlessly chic if styled right—often as simply as possible. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worn an outfit that consists of a white T-shirt, jeans, and a statement cardigan, only to receive an endless stream of compliments from friends and family. 

Now that spring is upon us, cardigan season is in full effect. For days when a coat is simply too heavy, I’ll opt for a cardigan instead. From wool-blend sweaters to fuzzy printed knits, there’s a style for every personality and budget. I’ll celebrate that.

Ahead are 36 cardigans I’ve bookmarked to add to my collection while keeping my wallet happy. Honestly, I’m shocked at how chic some of these look for being well under $100. Happy shopping.
