Take no notice of Google’s search suggestion “Are cardigans frumpy?” We’re here to confirm they’re not, with the help of 13 more sustainable brands.

The case for cardigans

Cardigans once had a bad rep in style circles, but here’s the thing about fashion: it’s cyclical, and trends are inherently unsustainable. Ultimately, you should wear whatever makes you feel happy and confident, and while cardigans are most certainly in style these days, even if they weren’t, we’d still be here advocating for you to wear one if it’s what you love. Plus, cardigans are brilliant for layering in winter and trans-seasonal months, and if that’s what you’ve got in mind, opt for a cardigan with a fine gauge knit to ensure it fits underneath jackets and coats.

In 2025, there are so many iterations of the cardigan—waterfall styles that drape, cropped ones with a 1950s feel, practical zip-through versions, the classic button-up, and many more. But with so much knitwear today churned out by ultra fast fashion brands that take no care over their effect on people, animals, or the planet, you’ll want to look out for more sustainable cardigans from brands working to minimise their impact on the planet by using more sustainable yarns and, particularly when it comes to knitwear, are ensuring animal welfare standards are upheld—or are completely vegan. Here, we’ve rounded up 13 options from the likes of PANGAIA, Armedangels, OMNES, and more.
