The button-front jumper has been a longtime staple in fall and winter wardrobes, but it started making headlines a few years ago, when micro versions dominated New York Fashion Week, courtesy of designers like Maryam Nassir Zadeh and Kim Shui. As you can imagine, fashion enthusiasts and celebs ate it up โ and they’re still excited by them. Cardigans went from kind-of-frumpy-but-beloved to trending, worn by everyone from EmRata to Jennifer Lawrence. And brands are still finding ways to make it feel fresh: At the Fall/Winter 2024 shows, Ulla Johnson and Tibi styled them as capes.
