10 Amazon Shopper-Loved Cardigans Under $40

Whether you’re playing at the park on a cool spring morning or enjoying a Saturday lunch at your family’s favorite restaurant, a cardigan is a must-have wardrobe staple in the in-between months. They’re cooler than most jackets but keep you nice and warm when the air conditioning is blasting. Plus, they’re the ultimate layering piece, whether you prefer a crewneck, chunky knit, or patchwork style (and some even have pockets!).

If you’re looking to up your layering game this spring, there are plenty of trendy yet practical cardigans to shop at Amazon—and we found 10 of the most stylish picks for under $40. With prices starting at just $14, you'll keep reaching for these lightweight cardigans all spring long.

This lightweight cardigan provides “enough stretch to feel comfortable” without overstretching throughout the day, according to one Amazon shopper. The cotton, polyester, and modal materials blend seamlessly to create one soft, machine-washable fabric. The Amazon Essentials cardigan is available in 20 colors and sizes XS to 6X, and shoppers say the cardigan fits true to size (there’s also a handy size chart for reference).  Over 2,000 Amazon customers gave this cardigan a five-star rating, with one buying it for their mom, who later ordered it in three additional colors. We love this pick for movie theater nights with the family—because we all know how cold theaters can get)—and you can even snag some colors for over 35% off.

Florals for spring? Groundbreaking. In addition to the baby blue shown above, this comes in eight more colors, including black and red. Shoppers reported that the viscose, nylon, and polyester materials are “not scratchy or itchy at all”—a welcome feature for when you’re holding your little one)—and that the cardigan “fits as expected.” It comes in sizes S to XXL.

With summer around the corner, a short-sleeve cardigan is a must-have for those mornings at the park before it gets hot (or if you just want a little more coverage). This style layers beautifully over tank tops and is easy to stash in your diaper bag. You’ll definitely find a color you love after perusing all 25 options, which come in sizes S to XXL (and some even have an extended length and long sleeves).

An Amazon shopper confirmed they’ve received many compliments after wearing it “on chilly summer mornings.”

If you’re looking for a cardigan with pockets, we recommend this lightweight option. The pockets on this cardigan are “well-placed and deep enough to be genuinely useful,” raved one Amazon customer, while another buyer chimed in that the material is “soft and lightweight.”

The cardigan features an extended length ideal for layering with your favorite T-shirt, while the buttons give it a polished look. Available in sizes S to 3XL, the sweater comes in over 15 colors, including black and hot pink.

This classic crewneck cardigan from Amazon Essentials comes in more than 25 colors. The button-front closure allows for versatile styling, while the rib detailing at the cuffs and hem adds a little flair. 

Like the other Amazon Essentials cardigan on our list, this crewneck pick comes in sizes XS to 6X. One Amazon customer shared that their XL choice fit “great” and that the “cuffs hug wrists nicely.” Another shopper shared how they plan to sport their new purchase: “With jeans for a casual look” and “with a dress for a more business or mid-formal look.” 

Chunky knit cardigans are downright comfy, and this option from Maroway is no exception. It offers a loose fit with a beautiful blend of warmth and breathability. Amazon customers recommend ordering a size down because of the oversized fit and add that the cardigan is “one of the softest sweaters” they’ve ever felt. 

Choose from sizes S to XXL in eight colors. 

A chunky knit cardigan is a piece you’ll use for at least three seasons. Whether you choose red, beige, or pink, this “Amazon’s Choice” cardigan features the same fun embroidery patchwork that makes it stand out in your closet. One Amazon customer shared that the cardigan is “well made and feels wonderful,” making it a great investment that’s “worth every penny.”  

The chunky sweater comes in sizes XS through XXL.

Whether you like solid colors or patterns (or both!), the Viishow cardigan satisfies any styling needs. Available in sizes S to 3XL, the button-down cardigan comes in more than 40 colors and prints, from springy pastels to stripes. Many Amazon shoppers gave this cardigan to their moms and mothers-in-law as a gift: “The sweater was a gift for my mother; it fit perfectly and is very flattering,” said one customer, who added that the sweater “is soft and lightweight but warm.”

The Yemak Bolero Cardigan is the ultimate spring and summer wardrobe staple. Short sleeves and a bolero style mean you’ll be able to wear this all day in the summer heat with the kiddos. Pair it with a spring dress or sport it as a top with your favorite jeans or shorts for a trip to the zoo. 

The Yemak Bolero Cardigan has the most color options on our list—42—in sizes S to 3XL. One Amazon customer bought this cardigan in nine colors and said they plan to “mix and match to make so many different outfits and combinations.” The cardigan is as low as $14, depending on the color you select. 

The Grace Karin Crewneck Cardigan boasts an impressive 8,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. Its lightweight, soft materials are enough to keep you warm on those cool spring days and summer mornings, but you won’t overheat if you wear it at the restaurant with the family. We appreciate how many sizes it comes in (12 total), from XS to size 24 Plus. 

While reading reviews for this cardigan, we found several Amazon shoppers who bought this for their mom. One noted this pick was their mom’s favorite cardigan, and that they’ve “washed it three times in the laundry machine” without affecting the quality.
