This Striped Merino Wool V-neck Cardigan from COS is a must-have this autumn season.
It’s cosy enough to survive a chilly morning commute, but classy enough to feel office appropriate - and better yet, it goes with everything. Leggings, jeans, midi skirts - you name it. This cardigan is about to become the foundation of all your transitional outfits.
It's a mix-and-match dream. You can wear it layered over a turtleneck, under a trench coat (very autumn 2025), a leather jacket or on its own, and it somehow makes every outfit look intentional.
