Give yourself and each other warmth: 12 cozy cardigans to keep you warm even when it’s cold outside

V-neck button-down knit sweaters—aka cardigans—have become so commonplace for decades that no one thinks of its rich history. But in vain. This wardrobe staple has come a long way from military gear and Ivy League uniforms to grunge favorites.

In the last century, Coco Chanel, Clint Eastwood, Paul Newman, Alone Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Kurt Cobain wore cardigans. And in the new millennium, they’ve been swept away by thousands of street style heroes and fashion phenomenons alongside modern it-girls in the person of Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa, and Zendaya.

The design store also does not leave cardigans unattended. From season to season, the brand’s creative directors present new and new versions of the cult item on the podium. For example, we saw valuable models of Coach, Fendi, Edward Crutchley, Christopher Kane, Chanel and many other brands in the past Fashion Weeks.

All this proves once again that you can’t be without a cardigan this season. We have brought together 12 options from Russian brands that will warm you up this fall and winter.
