Cardi-Win: It's Sweater-Weather All Year In These Light Solid Colour Cardigans

Such a staple, we see this Fabnest Cinched & Hem Detail Button Cardigan springing life into our everyday looks. Firstly, love that it can be worn as a statement top without burning you down, or as an open overall. The colour, a trendy burnt orange/tan is so soft-girl chic. If you want an oversized fit, this piece is also available in sizes of XL and 3XL. This is an acrylic blend fabric sweater that mimics texture and qualities of wool in that it is warm and soft, and lightweight too. If you're wearing this in colder regions, you want to layer underneath.

Layering or finishing an outfit with a long cardigan or shrug is such a in look. We're glad this type of styling has stuck on and evolved. Speaking of evolved, this Solid Green Collared Long Shrug from Idalia is a minimalist chic dresser's dream. Made of viscose rayon means this won't trap heat, like ever! I particularly like wearing this with a turtleneck or crop top, it gives me much needed coverage in the back too! Sizes S to 2XL are available.

A cardigan, sweater and sweatshirt vibe all rolled into one, what's not to love about this Red & Green Striped Trim Detail Black Sweatshirt from Miss Chase? Wear it as is, or with a collared shirt with long sleeves underneath for a dark academia type style.  Yes, you can layer with it, any season, because it's made of cotton. I like bringing this number out when there's a nip in the air to keep me cosy, plus it always looks good. Would recommend sizing up if you plan to wear this in the winters. Sizes XS to XL available.

A poncho may not be everyone's cup of tea but after you lay eyes on Akiva's fun Contrast Trim Detail Solid Poncho, you may become a poncho convert. It isn't bulky or weighing down, instead made from blended fabric, it's light and falls so well. Not to forget, the colours, red and navy, totally make this an exciting and standout pick. This poncho-shrug is longer in the back, so if you're looking for coverage and style, this could be it. This is freesize.

Granted this Self Love Graphic Full Sleeves Sweatshirt from Exhale Label isn't a cardigan, but it's in the same territory and c'mon, don't you love it already? The minimal print to the stunning pinkish nude shade (available in black too), the relaxed fit and the fact that it's made from the softest cotton, makes this one of our favourite's on this list. The dropped shoulders design also makes this flattering to wear for all body types. We don't ever want to get out of this one, come hail, snow or the sun's rays. The fit is true to size but you can size up too, S to XL available.

We know we said trendy, and we're delivering because the 90s have made it back into fashion in the biggest way and we're here for it in this rock-and-roll Velvet Sleeve Button Down Knit Cardigan from Cinnamon Apparel. The puff gathered and velvet sleeves sealed the deal for us and the range of colours -- black, blue, red, even purple. Finally, a Y2k-inspired cardigan that is interesting without be extra, yay! This is a freesize cardigan that is super stretchy, it is also a mix of wool (body) and velvet (sleeves) so it will keep you warm.

Another cool cardigan-type sweatshirt (also looks like a top), we're loving the oversized and comfiness of this Quinn Maroon Oversized Warm Pullover from The August Co. It's casual, can be layered (made from breathable cotton hoodie fabric) or worn by itself. All the winter, sweater-weather vibes minus all the sweat and discomfort. Sizing is our favourite part of this option, it ranges between XS to 3XL but you can also order a custom fit.

This Solid Full Sleeves Crop Cardigan from Unmade is purely for style purposes and for days you want to cover those arms but not your entire dress or outfit. Available in three colours, for entirely that reason -- pink, black and grey - this cardigan must be made a staple in every wardrobe. Sizes XS to L available.

Uniqlo India's website has a lovely collection of trendy cardigans like this soft and lightweight Soufflé Yarn cardigan available in solids and pastels like lilac, beige, off-white and grey. The style of this is different too - sort of high-low, it's cropped in the front and has intentional loose fit. So you could either layer or wear this style as a top by itself. A blend of acrylic and wool (60:8) makes this cardigan just warm enough on nippy days, but you will need extra protection during peak winter. Sizes XS to 2XL available.

We love the casual/effortless appeal of a boxy cardigan and think it is a winter wardrobe staple. Thankfully, this Rib-knit Cardigan from H&M with a breathable acrylic and cotton blend has brought back this style irrespective of the weather. We also love the shorter-style, dropped shoulders and wide sleeves that are close-fitting at the cuffs. Very chic. Oh, not to mention, beige is a classic colour. Black and light grey are two other options. This is available in size L and XL only currently, but we think since it's supposed to be loose, sizing up is good.
