As cult 80s classics go, the Heathers plays host to some epic style moments but we were always most inspired by Veronica Sawyer. Recreate her infamous look with our Button Front Cardigan, a simple tee and undone curls for a relaxed take on the trend. Other understated icons are Gwyneth Paltrow and Winona Ryder herself, who made cardigans cool in the 90s with printed skirts and short pixie haircuts.

To make more of a statement, throw on a maxi cardigan in a unique motif. 70s style favourite Ali Macgraw showed us how to layer a longline silhouette with flared jeans, whilst Marilyn Monroe kept her look carefree in a chunky, oversized design. Exude a similar nonchalant feel with wrap cardigans in graphic prints and keep the rest of your look pared back this season.

For an easy way to energise your look, take cues from Julia Roberts, who effortlessly teamed a voluminous style with dressed down denim and forever-cool accessories. If you’re looking for a way to wear the cardigan after-dark, channel Kate Moss in a button-up knit, a white t-shirt and an elegant up-do. Or for a more feminine approach, pair a pastel hue with a classic A-line skirt. The result? A charming look, worthy of Cher Horowitz’s wardrobe in Clueless.

However you choose to weave cardigans into your wardrobe this season, inspiration is never far away. Discover our latest knitwear for timeless pieces you can wear now and later.
