At Marilyn Boutique, you will find various types of women's cardigans. In general, cardigans belong to the category of outerwear that can be worn in all seasons. So, you'll definitely find button-up cardigans, woolen cardigans, warm, and lighter ones. You'll find them in various lengths, from short to longer styles, and in a variety of colors.
For your everyday outfit, the cardigan you choose depends on your style. If you wear a T-shirt with shorts/skirt (mini), opt for a cardigan that reaches the length of the shorts. On the other hand, if you're wearing something like office pants with a simple top, you can choose a midi cardigan or even the complete opposite—a crop one.
The cardigans that are suitable for winter are definitely the woolen ones. With thick knit and volume. The length depends on your preference; you can wear a short cardigan that fits comfortably under a jacket or coat, or you can opt for a midi one, giving your outfit a cozier look. And, of course, a maxi cardigan is the star of the winter season, pairing perfectly with footwear like combat boots. You can also find cardigans that aren't necessarily woolen and might be lighter, making them suitable for wearing indoors as an accessory over your outfit.
The trends for women's cardigans this year forecast many different designs. First and foremost, the must-have trend for 2024 is classic cardigans with front buttons and 3D floral embroidery. Whether knitted or made from other fabrics, at hip length, this romantic style has made a strong comeback. Paired with equally romantic footwear such as Mary Janes or ballet flats, it will give you that romantic look. Additionally, stripes in soft shades of blue are emerging, along with prints featuring geometric shapes.
It depends on how you want to wear the cardigan. If the cardigan you're choosing is more like a top, meaning you would wear it on its own, it's best to get it in the size you normally wear for tops. However, if you want the cardigan to be an outerwear piece, then choose an oversized one. Of course, for an oversized look, you could even opt for a size larger, depending on how loose you want it to be.
The colors that are trending this year for cardigans are definitely earthy tones, such as beige and gray, which are all-time classics. Prints like animal prints, zebra, and leopard are also in style. Brown is the top color for this year, offering a cozy and warm vibe. Burgundy is another great choice, providing a more wintry and sensual look.
