Why the cardigan stands out as the must-have of the season

The cardigan is back in the spotlight, establishing itself as a true fashion must-have. Long seen as a discreet basic, it is now reborn, reimagined by luxury houses and contemporary designers. At Khaite, it becomes the emblem of quiet luxury. Prada reinvents it in refined and durable knits. Burberry and AMI Paris transform it into oversized, graphic, or minimalist versions. The result: a chameleon piece that transitions seamlessly from casual looks to the most cutting-edge silhouettes.

A versatile and desirable knit

What makes the cardigan so relevant today is its versatility. Oversized, it plays the cozy card – perfect for winter. Fitted or cropped, it structures the silhouette and pairs as well with jeans as with a skirt or a dress. In soft, sometimes luxurious materials, it becomes a true fashion statement, capable of bringing warmth and style in any circumstance.

Worn at home for chic comfort, at the office as a modern layering piece, or in the evening for a bold style, the cardigan adapts to every moment of the day.

From classic heritage to contemporary icon

Born in the 19th century, inspired by the Count of Cardigan, this buttoned vest from military uniforms has crossed decades. An icon of the 1950s and a darling of the 90s, it has always found its place in wardrobes. Today, it is experiencing a true renaissance: cropped to recall vintage aesthetics, long and enveloping for a cocoon effect, or crafted in graphic knits for a contemporary twist.
