I need new cardigans

[djc315]

I found the elbow of my favorite black cardi is thisclose to having a hole in it  (wilted)

Any recs?  They are for work (business casual environment).  I mostly wear them over dresses and would prefer a 3/4 length sleeve.

I like Target and Old Navy for cardigans.

I find this style looks best with dresses (for me).

I love the JCrew Jackie cardigan. They're lightweight, hold their shape great, and look great unbuttoned over dresses. I have one that's six years old and still going strong. JCrew has sales all the time, so don't pay full price: www.jcrew.com/AST/filterAsst/women_sweaters/cardigans/PRDOVR~29350/29350.jsp

Ditto this, although I usually get the Factory version (the Clare cardigan).  I probably have a dozen of them in different colors and they've held up really well. factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/sweaters/cardigans/PRDOVR~14041/14041.jsp?color_name=black  

Ann Taylor also makes a nice 3/4 sleeve cardigan, although I wouldn't pay full price for it.  www.anntaylor.com/32f4-sleeve-ann-cardigan/365273?skuId=18229035&defaultColor=&colorExplode=false&catid=cat2610015&priceSort=DESC

Halogen (Nordstrom house brand) has amazingly well made 3/4 length cardigans.  Mine have held up for years!  Generally I toss them in the washer & dryer with the rest of my clothes but pull them out after 30 minutes and line dry the rest of the way.  I can also wear them a couple times between washings without the elastic on the sleeves wearing out which is a huge bonus.  Great colors, $46 each.  Sometimes the discontinued colors/patterns go on sale!

Modcloth has a really nice cardigan called the Charter School Cardigan. It comes in 15+ colors so you could almost get any color you need. The material is very soft it almost feels like cashmere (it's not). Only downside is it is hand wash only. Some reviewers have said you can put it in the washing machine, but I am too chicken to do it because I love mine so much.

I have the red one, but I am going to get a white and a black one soon. If you do end up ordering one make sure you go up a size, they run on the smaller side. I have a 1x and I'm usually a size 14 or XL in tops.

I was coming in to recommend these exact ones. I have about 10 of them that have held up for years. My favorites!

I found decent ones at LOFT pretty recently

Me too! I just got a bunch, both long sleeve and short sleeve for summer. I'm forever in a cardigan to cover up some arm tattoos so I've got a million.

Another vote for Loft...you can't beat the price, and I like the fit.

[indylady]

I swear by Lands End for cardigans. This one is has regular sleeves but they have a version with 3/4 sleeves.

Old Navy have some decent 3/4 sleeved cardigans in neutral colors, I think they are online only.
Simple and fit well.

We all saw this coming right girls? 

Who has the Chicos link up next? 


Ha! JK. Just teasing OP.  It's a cute cardi actually.

My favorite work/dress appropriate Cardigans are from Express. Hit at the right length and last forever. 


I own longer ones from Express again, JCP and every color/pattern Target makes for more casual stuff/wear with yoga pants, jeans and dress pants.

Talbots Charming Cardi. They should be marked down quite a bit right now.
