Spring Fling: 15 Lightweight Cardigans To Launch Into The New Season

It’s time to peel back the winter layers and prepare for spring, and one of the first sensible buys of the season is, of course, the perennial appeal of a lightweight cardigan — not too heavy, not too light, a saviour on days when the weather is still crisp.

It might be a plush handknit option from the array of local knitters or something that still feels polished, like a fitted professional cardi from Kate Sylvester or Standard Issue.

And, as always, the best way to get more longevity out of your cardigan is to ensure it’s at least hand-washed or on a gentle cycle, laid flat to air dry — and absolutely not hung on a hangar!
