5 Cardigan Colour Trends Chic Dressers are Wearing in 2025

Cardigans have come a long way from being a crucial part of sixth-form uniforms or a beloved hallmark of librarians. Both of which would provide this knitwear staple with a reputation for being chunky and scratchy, but thanks to modern iterations designed by Miu Miu, Khaite and Sézane, they’ve since shed this image in favour of something more polished and cool. And if you were to look at the latest ensembles donned by the industry’s most stylish, you’d notice that the most effective way to ensure any cardigan look feels fresh and modern is by wearing one of the leading cardigan colour trends of 2025.

Indeed, even a simple button-up can fall victim to fashion’s circular nature. Those with a hawk-like eyesight might’ve already picked up on this, noting the way stylish dressers have gravitated towards either neutral shades, including classic blacks, or saturated tones, like tomato reds, over the past few years.

Lyst even coined Miu Miu’s cashmere variation, a style that debuted on the brand’s autumn/winter 2023 collection, as the second hottest product of the season—not bad for a category that was once synonymous with the late Diane Keaton’s oeuvre, a hit single by Taylor Swift or a long-forgotten Earl in which the style takes its name from.
