Level Up Your Look With A Novelty Cardigan

{ Via: Anthropologie }

Sweaters and winter go arm in arm (or hand in hand). One can never own too many. But how many "novelty cardigans" do you own? Vogue says that it is a trend this season. They can easily take your winter wardrobe to the next level by dressing anything you pair with them up, up, up! Here's eight standout styles that make a statement.

Maeve Cropped Floral Cardigan

Just the thing to wear over your little black dress! One size fits all, plus it is on sale for under $100.

Anthropologie

Alexander McQueen Peplum Sweater

One of the loveliest sweaters I have ever come across. It is also one of the most expensive styles (it figures). But I just had to share this beauty with you, as it is exceptional. And besides, even if not in the budget, I love to look at beautiful clothing. Don't you?

Net-a-Porter

Leslie Fringe Long Cardigan

It's hard to pass up fab fringe especially at this price (Under $75 ). Also available in cream.

Verishop

Textured Cardi

This cardigan keeps popping up for me. I think I have featured it before, but it bears repeating. The whole look is so good!

Anthropologie

L'Agence Maddy Cardi
This brand always elevates each piece they design. A haute houndstooth pattern never goes out of style. I love the gold buttons and slightly padded shoulders. 

Shopbop

Hook & Eye Cashmere Cardigan

A cashmere classic with a twist. The hook and eye closure looks totally different when worn open or closed.

Tory Burch

Rose Garden Intarsia Cardigan

Add a huge pop of color with Kate's floral frock. It will be good now layered under a coat or wrap. And come spring, you will wear it alone.

Kate Spade

Pearl Embellished Cardigan
These are not your Mother's pearls. I think they are better. Certainly more fun. And though it is not a long sweater, it is important to know that the model is 5'8" and wearing an extra small. So if you order your size, it shouldn't be this cropped

Tory Burch

Relaxed Asymmetric Buttoned Cardigan

A fab find of a very fashionable friend of mine. I understand this style was an instant sellout, and now is back in stock. It's quite chic in a relaxed way. Love it. You might love the $159 price.
