Now that spring is here, it's time to put away the heavy coats and break out the light sweaters and cardigans. Having a go-to cardigan is perfect for days when you're lounging around the house or for adding a pop of color to your outfit.
As the weather warms up, cardigans make for a great lightweight layer, especially on those in-between days where it's not hot enough to lose an outer layer altogether, but it's also not cold enough to wear a jacket.
You can never have too many basic cardigans, so we searched for some of the bestselling styles from retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Target. Whether it's a classic black cardigan or a statement piece, these picks are sure to elevate all of your spring outfits.
