Someone in your childhood surely told you to always bring a sweater. If not, let me be the one to tell you. Always. Bring. A. Sweater. Wherever you go, you never know if it will be chilly or not, so pack a freakin’ plus-size spring cardigan and be prepared for once in your life. (I’m talking to myself here, really.) I’m a huge fan of sweaters, but most of mine are for the fall and winter seasons—not the cool evenings when you just need a little somethin’ to keep you from shivering. So, I went on a search for the cutest plus-size spring cardigans, and I found some gems.
For the same reason you need to stock up on plus-size spring jackets, you need cardigans. Sometimes the air conditioning in a building is too damn high. Sometimes you’re out later than you expected to be, and the temperature drops 20 degrees. And sometimes you just get chilly for no reason at all. (Shout out to my roommate who is always cold.) I can think of zero reasons why you shouldn’t keep a cute cardigan handy at all times. (If you think of one, don’t tell me. I like to live in my ignorant bliss.)
I rounded up 17 of my faves from my plus-size spring cardigan search just for you. From bright, on-trend neon to classic neutrals, there’s a little something for everyone. Seriously, stock up, because the next time you get chilly and don’t have a sweater with you, you’ll only have yourself to blame.
