Ahhh, there’s nothing like spring in AZ where it’s totally cold in the mornings but you’re melting by afternoon!

This can make getting dressed a little complicated which is why my go-to is cute cardigan outfits for spring. They’re easy for transitioning from morning to afternoon, or from cold a/c to the warm outdoors.

These cute cardigan outfits are so easy to re-create, which is what I love about them most. You can pretty much use your existing wardrobe to get the look.

Of course, I’ve added links to some of my favorites if you’re missing some of these pieces in your wardrobe. 

Cute Cardigan Outfits for Spring

Lightweight Cardigan as a Top with Jeans

Cardigans worn as tops is a major spring fashion trend for 2024. And this lightweight one from Quince is perfect for transitioning into warmer weather.

You can wear it buttoned-up and styled with jeans like I did or style it open or with a skirt.

Cardigan with Denim Shorts Outfit

Springtime often means it’s cold in the mornings and evenings but warm throughout the day. Embrace the awkward weather by pairing a longer cardigan like this one with some cute denim shorts.

This would also be a cute outfit if you’re looking for ideas on what to wear to a spring training game.

Striped Cardigan Outfit

A striped cardigan is such a great spring look! Naomi from Southern Sophisticated nailed it with a half-tucked tee and cute spring wedges.

I own this cardigan in black and wear it ALL the time. And, it comes in 12 colors!! There are some really cute spring colors right now, too. (For more T-shirt options, check out this post on the best tees from Nordstrom under $50)

Pastel Cardigan Outfit

Nothing says spring like pastels, so grab your favorite light-colored cardigan to channel that spring vibe! 

I got this light blue chunky cardigan from Chicwish and layered it over my favorite Amazon bodysuit. 

It’s a simple look to recreate: jeans and a white top!

To modernize this look for 2024, swap out the skinny jeans with some straight-leg jeans like these (seen in first photo).

Style it with some cute sneaks and you’re good to go!

Cardigan with Tailored Shorts Outfit

A chunky cream cardigan over a white-button down and shorts is a perfect example of how to wear cardigans in the springtime.

Pops of camel brown make this outfit look expensive.

Chunky Cardigan Outfit

Depending on where you live, you may still be able to wear a cute, chunky cardigan this time of year. For that, I’m OBSESSED with this Barefoot Dreams cardigan. It is absolutely THE softest thing I have ever owned.

It’s so warm and cozy that I still wear it in the summer (since I work from home and the a/c is on full blast!). Shop this exact color on Amazon or Nordstrom for 7 color options.

Neutral Cardigan Outfit

If you’re unsure about cardigan outfits for spring, try a neutral color. A cute pair of sandals keeps this look light.

Even though this is a knit cardigan, since it’s short-sleeved it’s a great spring or even summer look.

Cardigan with a Dress Outfit

This isn’t the easiest look to pull off; in fact, I’d say 9 times out of 10 it looks downright sloppy.

Too long of a cardigan and your dress ends up looking like a nightshirt.

Too short of a cardigan and you’re in major preppy territory.

So, what’s the secret? Personally, I like texture because it separates the cardigan from the dress in a visually interesting way.

If you live in a climate that calls for it, try a chunky cardigan over your summer dress to get the look.

(BTW, this is the popular Leith dress and it’s under $40!

Cardigan with a Lace Cami Outfit

My favorite look of the season is probably the cardigan paired with a sexy lace cami and I’m loving this look via Cella Jane. It’s just SO cute and easy to pull off. Plus, there are cute lace camis everywhere!

Again, an easy way to modernize this look is to simply update the denim cut. This cardigan is still hanging in my closet years later!
