How to Choose Between a Cardigan and a Jumper

Some days call for layers you can switch up on the spot. A knit cardigan gives you that flexibility with an open front or button-down style, making it easy to wear your way. It’s an effortless option for layering through changing weather.

Jumpers are all about pull-on ease and extra warmth, perfect for cooler days. After something heavier? Coatigans, hoodies and sweatshirts tick that outerwear box. But for a layer you’ll keep coming back to, a cardigan is always a solid choice.

• Cotton knits: Soft and breathable, our cotton cardigan styles are perfect for everyday wear. Easy to throw on over a tee or dress for an effortless look.

• Button-downs: A classic option when you want flexibility. Try a button up cardigan or a v-neck cardigan for easy layering you can wear open or closed.

• Jacquard knit: Add texture with a jacquard or cable knit. These styles give a cosy feel without too much bulk, ideal for cooler days.

• Crochet: Keep things light with crochet pieces or sleeveless vests. Great for warmer weather or layering over your favourite basics.

Colours, Prints and Patterns to Make Your Cardigan Pop

This collection is all about colour and texture. 0 Think soft neutrals like cream and grey marle, bold brights in red, green and yellow, plus playful prints on our jacquard knits. Crochet styles add a relaxed, vintage vibe that works for casual days or festival looks.

Go for an oversized cardigan in a neutral tone, or try one of our new arrivals in a pop colour. Sizes run from 3XS to XXL, so everyone can find their perfect fit. View all the styles and find your next go-to layer.

Ways to Wear Your Cardigan to Suit Any Plan

Cardigans are an easy add-on that can switch up your look in seconds. Whether you’re heading to brunch, work, or just keeping it casual, there’s a way to style yours to fit the plan.

• Everyday casual: Layer a long sleeve cardigan over v-neck tees and leggings. Add tights and sneakers for a chilled, off-duty vibe.

• Workwear: Try a button-front cardigan over a short sleeve t-shirt, paired with tailored pants or tucked into skirts. Throw on a blazer and one of our scarves to finish the look.

• Weekend brunch: Go for a crew neck cardigan with denim and gold jewellery for an effortless outfit.

• Chill nights in: Layer over sleepwear for extra cosiness. An oversized cardi works perfectly here.

Caring for Your Knitwear So It Lasts Longer

Looking after your knitwear keeps it feeling soft and looking new. Always check the care label first, but most cotton cardigans, crochet pieces and jacquard knits do best with a gentle cold wash. Skip the dryer and lay them flat to air dry so they hold their shape.

When storing your knits, fold them instead of hanging to avoid stretching. Keep them in a cool, dry spot between wears. These simple steps will help your Sportsgirl cardigans last season after season.
