I love cardigans because they can be worn over shells, tees, tanks, and dresses, and because they work well in just about any season (how great are slub cardigans for hot summer months?) and make any outfit office-appropriate in a snap! To that end, here are some great cardigans under $50 – each! As always, click on the image to get to the purchase page.

Lord & Taylor - $37.49

I love this color, and I love the crochet look. It’s sweet and flirty and delicate and would look great on a sleek dress.

Banana Republic - $44.99

I love this open cardigan with the dainty little crochet trim. I also like the neutral color, which can be worn with any number of other colors and patterns.

Kohl's - $40.60

Now, I’m not generally a fan of the Simply Vera line – I think most of that stuff is kind of … well, we all have our opinions. But there’s something so fun about this that I couldn’t resist.

ONLY/Yoox - $38

I always try to throw in some solid, traditional articles, and that’s where this gray cardigan comes in.

ModCloth - $49.99

I love this. All of it.

ModCloth - $39.99

Now, this one looks like it would be really cozy and warm. Plus, I love those buttons!

The Limited - $42.90

A slouchy white cardigan – why not?

J.Crew - $49.50

A classic J.Crew cardigan in a beautiful, rich melon color: what in the world is there not to love?!

Hopefully, you were able to find something you liked in this, my weekly offering. I’m kind of hopeless when it comes to cardigans; in my opinion, I can never have enough. I love full button cardigans, halfway buttoned cardigans, open front cardigans, cropped cardigans, half cardigans, and shrugs. I love them all and constantly mix and match them with whatever I’m wearing. They haven’t done me wrong since, and hopefully you’ll be able to make them a part of your working wardrobe, too!
