'The new "cool cardigans" are all I want to wear right now. These are the best ones.'

We used to liken cardigans to brooding writers who sit in dark rooms surrounded by coffee mugs, or your Great Aunt Cecily, but that was the past.

Cardigans are having a serious moment right now. They're everywhere and they're the ultimate trans-seasonal and budget-friendly staple.

Watch: Game changer for your necklace stacking. Post continues below.

This season we're seeing contemporary twists like stylish cutouts (very reminiscent of Joanne in Nobody Wants This), delicate tie details, statement buttons and lush textures.

So, let's get into the cardigans I'm loving right now.
