Mid- to heavy-gauge chunky cardigans have a modern heritage appeal in flecked and mélange yarns. Utilise core shades of warm grey, urban greens and rustic earthy tones. Gradated ombré effects add surface interest, while brushed yarns have a cosy handle in soft-touch chenilles and lofty acrylic blends. Classic styling with buttonthrough fastening, patch pockets and optional elbow patches have a reassuring authenticity. Pared-back styling with edgeto-edge front seams and minimal detailing has a hybrid outerwear look, as seen at asos.com.
