Top 10 Lounge Cardigans

WHERE TO WEAR: While its soft-brushed surface and superior stretch make this cardigan ideal for lounging, the sleek fabric makes it polished enough for work, too. If your boss likes to blast the AC in the summer, this is your fix.

USERS SAID: "I absolutely LOVE this sweater!! It’s light enough to wear in the spring but heavy enough to keep warm in stores and restaurants. Love the extended length and the way it hangs without hugging."

BEST FOR: Crafted with soft and comfortable jersey fabric, this open-front sweater is perfect for lazy days around the house. It even has cute patch pockets, which are ideal for storing essentials. You know—like movie snacks and TV remotes.

STYLE WITH: Perfect your lounge look with a white tank and cozy black leggings.

LOVED FOR: The lightweight terry cotton makes this cardigan a total dream. It's so soft and cozy, you can even sleep in it.

HELPFUL TIP: Some reviewers say this runs large, but we recommend sticking with your regular size to keep that slightly slouchy look. If you prefer a closer fit, go ahead and order a size down.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Ultra-slouchy and oversized, this chunky cardigan will serve you well for so many different occasions. It's the perfect thing to wear when you're cozied up at home, but you can throw it on with casual outfits too. It also has a medium weight, so you'll be able to wear it year-round.

FUN FACT: This cardigan comes in so many stunning colors, including a gorgeous gold that's so on-trend for summer.

LOVED FOR: Side pockets, thumbholes, and an elegant draped hem? This lounge cardigan has so much going for it considering its budget-friendly price.

USERS SAID: "This is my new favorite. I wear it around the house to lounge in, I wear it over my summer PJs, I wear it over leggings at the airport, everywhere! I'll be buying this in other colors because I love the waffle weave so much and the thumb holes."

WHY YOU NEED IT: If you haven't felt the sumptuous, lightweight fabric of a Barefoot Dreams cardigan, you are majorly missing out. It's essentially the sartorial equivalent of the coziest blanket you've ever wrapped around your bod. Enough said.

AS SEEN ON: We're not surprised to find that Oprah is a big fan of this brand.

WHERE TO WEAR: Complete with a button front and two patch pockets, this cardigan is elevated enough to wear out of the house too. We'd totally rock it to work and happy hours.

STYLE WITH: This beauty is long enough to cover your backside, so feel free to wear it with your leggings.

LOVED FOR: Lounge cardigans can easily look frumpy if they're too oversized, but this Amazon option is far from it. Crafted with fluid fabric and a longer silhouette than most, it creates a super slimming look without feeling too fitted.

USERS SAID: "I LOVE LOVE LOVE! It's slimming, warm, and a perfect length. The others I bought either made me look like I gained 10 pounds overnight, were too short, or didn't cover my booty. This is perfect and I plan on buying in more colors."

WHY YOU NEED IT: If we haven't already made this clear, you definitely need to bookmark Barefoot Dreams. Just like the brand's other cardigan on this list (ranked #5), this plush and cozy style will be a wardrobe mainstay for seasons to come.

HELPFUL TIP: This cardi runs larger than most from Barefoot Dreams, so we recommend ordering a size down.

WHERE TO WEAR: Sweatshirt material and a cozy hood meet sleek fabric and a chic silhouette. If this isn't what WFH outfit dreams are made of, then we don't know what is.

USERS SAID: "Y’all... Daily Ritual is my new best friend. The quality is top-notch, and the fits have been great. This fabric is as comfy as pajamas, and I’ve been wearing it constantly. I know it will be useful throughout the summer as a casual layer when the AC becomes too chilly indoors. Everyone wants to know where I bought it!"
