Why are women's cardigans so popular?
What used to be knitted by hand with great effort over many days is now ready to buy. Especially convenient, as you can shop online anytime, from anywhere. Just like every knitted garment, cardigans are wonderfully elastic. Unlike woven fabrics, which offer little stretch, knitwear still has plenty of "give".
How can I recognize good quality in women's cardigans?
High quality depends on the material, suitable cuts, and workmanship. The Frank Walder team always ensures that the fabrics used in our knitwear are of the highest quality. It's important to us that our products are easy to care for and bring you joy for many years.
Tip: Pay attention to proper care for your cardigan. If you prefer a low-maintenance cardigan, it's better to choose products without wool content. Real wool (like merino, cashmere, or virgin wool) is cozy and warm but does not tolerate machine washing well. Such a cardigan, for example, one made from fine merino wool, can quickly shrink, distort, or develop pilling if not cared for properly.
A good alternative is a cardigan made from viscose, cotton, or cotton/polyester blends. These are just as comfortable to wear but require significantly less care.
During the seasonal transitions from winter to summer and vice versa, cardigans are a wonderful alternative to heavier jackets. They provide cozy warmth, especially when designed with an attractive knit pattern.
What styles and types of women's cardigans are available?
Classic straight-cut style: These essential cardigans come in various lengths and are wardrobe staples.
Chunky knit cardigans: Achieved through thick yarns, usually oversized, and extra cozy—ideal for fall and winter.
Cardigans: Known and loved by many, often with a hood and made from sweat/jersey fabrics. The difference from a standard cardigan is often minimal.
Knit coats: The longest cardigan style, often reaching down to the calves.
Long-sleeve cardigans: A standard in our knitwear collection.
Short-sleeve cardigans: A great alternative for cool summer evenings.
Various neckline styles—such as V-neck, round neck, stand-up collar, or hoods—change the overall look and feel of a cardigan and your individual styling.
Different closure types (like button plackets, zippers, or snap buttons), and design elements such as decorative seams, appliqués, and pockets (patch or slit pockets), bring variety to our women's cardigan collection.
What can I pair with a cardigan?
Not sure how to best style your new cardigan? Here are some valuable fashion tips:
Skirts and Dresses: The cut of the skirt is key in determining which cardigan style works best. A flared or A-line dress pairs well with a short jacket, while a straight-cut skirt can be combined with a longer cardigan or even a knit coat.
Trousers: Everything goes with cardigans—from comfy pull-on trousers to elegant slacks to youthful jeans.
These are our recommendations for what to wear *underneath* your cardigan:
T-shirts and tops: If the cardigan is loose-fitting, the shirt or top underneath can be more form-fitting, as the cardigan gently conceals any problem areas.
Blouses: Pay attention to collar styles. If you want to highlight the blouse collar, the cardigan should be simpler. Conversely, if the cardigan’s collar is meant to stand out, choose a more understated blouse.
Sweaters: Ensure the material mix doesn’t create too much visual competition. A sleek top (like a sweatshirt or blouse shirt) looks quite different than a chunky knit sweater worn under a cardigan.
