Cue the coatigan, your new favorite wardrobe staple for the summer-to-fall transitional period when there's a chill in the morning and evening air, but it's still not quite cool enough to warrant digging out your heftier fall and winter jackets. Goldilocks, do we have a solution for you.
If a coat and a cardigan had a baby, it would be the coatigan. It's an outerwear garment that's lightweight enough to layer over other clothing like long-sleeved tees, button-downs, blouses and even dresses, but still provides the warmth you need to be comfortable. Coatigans also fit and drape similar to longline coats and often come in an oversized fit, usually with pockets.
Whatever you call them — longline cardigans, oversized cardigans, sweater jackets, etc. — there's no denying they're perfect for this seasonal transition time period when it's hard to figure out what to wear. If you're tired of fretting about what to wear in the mornings, take a look at some of our favorite coatigan options below that are all under $70.
