On a cold day in November, a super super-chunky pullover or cardigan holds a special place in our hearts, but if a sophisticated, more put-together look is what you're going for (say for a dinner date or the office), it's not exactly the sweater I'd suggest grabbing for. Instead, I'd choose a sculpted cardigan every single time. They're elegant, elevated, and majorly trending ahead of 2025. And I'm not the only person who thinks so.
On Sofia Richie Grainge: Chanel bag; Bottega Veneta shoes
Sofia Richie Grainge was spotted over the weekend leaving The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood wearing a long-line sculpted cardigan in charcoal gray, proving my point that fitted silhouettes make for the most elite knits. To complement her sweater, she added a pair of classic black jeans, a black Chanel bag with gold hardware, and purple Bottega Veneta pumps that added the perfect pop of color to her easy, chic ensemble.
With Blake Lively, Elsa Hosk, Katie Holmes, and more celebrities all also backing waist-nipping cardigans, there's no doubt in my mind that, with winter fast approaching, the sleek silhouette will reach its highest high yet in the world of fashion. Get ahead of the trend by shopping the best options below.
