My Love Affair With Quirky Cardigans Has Begun—All Thanks To These Looks

Is it possible for a sweater to take over your mind, body, and soul? That's precisely what happened to me once Marni's striped mohair cardigan entered the scene. Deliciously fluffy and appealingly oversized, it was such a breakout star of the Italian label's SS/21 collection, that celebs have been flocking to it in droves. A "boring" staple rarely receives so much attention, but maybe that's a testament to how transformative a statement piece can be. Marni's version has been on my wishlist since the summer, but with a $1,000 price tag, that's likely where it'll stay. For now, I'm scratching the itch by browsing for inexpensive, equally quirky alternatives and window-shopping for ones I dream of wearing. Below I'm sharing the results of my research by presenting all of the coolest cardigans I've discovered thus far, along with a few of the looks that have inspired my obsession—scroll down to see what I mean.
Enter my holy grail sweater. Fuzzy and striped I could imagine someone like Kurt Cobain wearing this in the 90s.
The addition of a trucker hat really sets this look off.
This new silhouette has caused quite a stir this season. It's like part top, part sweater, so you could easily throw it on with a midi skirt as well as a pair of  loose jeans.
Cropped, vibrant, and chunky—what's not to love about this? It's only fitting that it's styled with statement pants.
Should you decide Marni's cardigan is in your budget, I stand by this pink and orange colorway.
Oversize cardigans are a fashion girl staple.
All sweaters should come with pretty landscapes like this.
I love the styling of this.
We're back to diamond patterns.
Nope, I cannot believe this is less than $100.
This is just waiting to be styled with a fun crop top.
The dip-dye feels reminiscent of Marni's version.
Peter pan collars are an emerging sweater trend to keep your eyes peeled for.
This feels remarkably close to the original.
Do yourself a favor and buy the matching crop top too.
An unexpected (yet welcomed!) color combo.
We love a little retro flair.
This was practically made for laidback weekends.
Mohair brings coziness to another dimension.
Pair this with baggy jeans and silver hoops.
So good.
Graphic sweaters make getting dressed so much easier.
Purple zebra, anyone?
This particular Ganni print has been selling out like wildfire.
Yes, I dream about this daily.
I know I've fangirled about Marni enough already, but this cardi also features a different pattern on the back so it's worth it, right?
Another IT sweater of the season.
Leave it to Molly Goddard to make a cardigan remarkably fashion forward.
Yes, yes, and more yes.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
