Some types of Cardigans includes chunky knit, fine knit, long, cropped cardigans, and its vests.

They can be found with different closures like buttons or zippers and in various lengths, from short to long.

Again, fine knit cardigans are made from finer yarn and are suitable for both casual and more formal settings.

Long Cardigans extend below the hips and can be a stylish layering piece, often reaching the knee or even the ankle.

Cropped Cardigans come shorter in length, hitting at or above the waist, and are often paired with high-waist bottoms for a trendy look.

Cardigan Vests are sleeveless, offering a lightweight layering option.
