Autumn Is Just Around the Corner—17 Cardigans from Zara, H&M, and COS That Are Likely to Sell Out Before September.

Autumn Is Just Around the Corner—17 Cardigans from Zara, H&M, and COS That Are Likely to Sell Out Before September.

      As we gradually accept that summer is coming to an end (I know, I know), our focus is shifting from meticulously curated vacation attire to the essentials of a fantastic autumn wardrobe. An ideal starting point? A really good cardigan.

      Having long discarded any connections to outdated fashion, the cardigan has quietly evolved into one of the most adaptable items in a contemporary wardrobe—and a staple in many stylish collections I admire. While it certainly has its place throughout the year (like being layered over shorts on cooler summer nights), fall is when this unassuming knit truly shines. You can wear one buttoned over a white T-shirt paired with straight-leg jeans, match it with tailored trousers and loafers, or style it alongside a pleated skirt for a more polished appearance.

      The best current styles feel intentional rather than complicated: consider fine-gauge knits, easy silhouettes, refined collars, and sophisticated neutral tones that look premium despite their high-street prices. When I'm on the hunt for such options, I consistently find myself gravitating back to three brands: Zara, H&M, and COS.

      Keep scrolling to see the cardigans I would genuinely suggest incorporating into your autumn wardrobe.

      This entire outfit embodies my autumn inspiration.

      Rib Knit Cardigan With Belt

      Navy serves as an excellent substitute for a classic black cardigan.

      **COS**

      Sculpted Cashmere Funnel-Neck Cardigan

      Funnel-neck cardigans are making a comeback this season, and COS' version is high on my wish list.

      This look is very much inspired by The Row.

      **COS**

      Merino Wool Funnel-Neck Cardigan

      A light merino wool knit you can wear now with jeans or later with thicker knits.

      **ZARA**

      Cashmere Wool Buttoned Cardigan

      This cashmere wool-blend cardigan will be your go-to once the temperatures begin to drop.

      **H&M**

      Wool-Blend Pocket-Detail Cardigan

      For something a bit more robust, try H&M's wool-blend patch-pocket design.

      **COS**

      Brushed-Cashmere Crew-Neck Cardigan

      This sold out quickly last year—I suspect it will happen again.

      Cobalt blue is definitely my favorite color trend this season.

      This piece appears to be worth twice its price.

      **ZARA**

      Short Sleeve Cardigan

      Short-sleeve cardigans are a great way to transition your wardrobe from summer to autumn.

      **COS**

      Merino Wool V-Neck Cardigan

      There's something striking about a red knit.

      The bouclé texture adds just the right amount of interest to your autumn outfits.

      **ZARA**

      Combined Knit Cardigan

      A bold choice, to say the least.

      A simple neutral cardigan that you'll wear frequently.
