How to wear a cardigan according to fall 2023 trends

How to wear a cardigan fall-winter 2023 2024 according to fashion trends

Perhaps it’s the long wave of the rise of Dark Academia style launched last spring by Jenna Ortega, aka Wednesday Addams, or the effect of Katie Holmes, who wore it unbuttoned to reveal a matching bra—a cashmere set from Khaite that became one of his most unforgettable fashion moments.

The fact is that this season the cardigan is gaining popularity again. While the wardrobe staple has never really left the runway—just look at Molly Goddard or Haite—even brands whose aesthetic couldn’t be further from #cottagecore are focusing on the cardigan in their Fall/Winter 2023 collections.

Loewe, one of the most beloved brands among the fashion public, presented plus size cardigans on the fall-winter 2023 catwalk, paired with coordinating knitted skirts and roomy totes. Then there was Prada, which gave the cardigan a workwear look (at its chicest) with a ribbed pattern worn over a shawl-collar shirt and tailored cigarette pants. The Miu Miu show was a celebration of the crewneck knit cardigan, paired with everything from cheeky mesh midis to wool knickers, tailored dress pants and tweed pencil skirts. Proof, in a somewhat unexpected way, of the cardigan’s versatility.
