Work Cardigans

Work Cardigans: Cardigan Sweaters for the Office

Work cardigans are the easiest way to stay comfortable through a long day without sacrificing a polished look. Anthropologie's work cardigans include button-front styles and longline open-front layers built to wear under a blazer or on their own. Pair one with the work-ready jackets and coats for cooler office days, or try one over a work dress for something a little different. A good work cardigan should feel as comfortable as it looks put together.

Frequently Asked Questions on Work Cardigans

How do I choose a work cardigan that looks professional?

We recommend a cardigan in a solid color for the most polished look. Cropped or fitted silhouettes tend to layer best under blazers and coats.

What is the best cardigan to wear to work in winter?

A longline button-front cardigan works well over a blouse for extra warmth. We also like a style you can leave open over trousers or a skirt.

Can I wear a cardigan instead of a blazer to work?

A structured cardigan can absolutely stand in for a blazer in more relaxed offices. We recommend one with a clean silhouette and buttons for a polished look.

How do I style a work cardigan for a client meeting?

We like pairing a fitted cardigan with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt and simple jewelry for a client-ready look. A blazer layered over the top adds a bit more polish.

What fabrics are best for a work cardigan?

Cotton and wool blends tend to hold their shape well through a full workday. We recommend avoiding bulkier knits if you'll be layering under a coat or blazer.
