I'm Never Giving Up Cardigans—Here Are the Ones I'm Into for Spring

Though we're still a ways away from April 25, when "all you need is a light jacket," spring will eventually arrive at our doorsteps. And when it does, I'm not going to give up on my love for cardigans. Instead, I'm planning on swapping out all of my chunky, cable-knit sweaters for lighter, spring-ready versions: cropped, floral, sheer, gingham—you name it. 

Not to brag but as a Southern Californian, I can pretty much start wearing these lighter cardigans now. For everyone else, they're perfect for layering until spring emerges and you can gleefully ditch the outer layers and show off your cute cropped cardi. Scroll down to shop my 29 favorite lightweight cardigans for spring, from H&M to Veronica Beard.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
