Hollywood’s Favorite Lightweight Summer Layer Is Actually So Smart for Fall — Shop Similar Cardigans from $12

The hottest summer accessory is actually, well, kind of hot.

While we usually associate warm weather with breezy essentials, celebs like Jennifer Garner, Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow can’t stop layering their outfits with lightweight sweaters this season. From the streets of New York to the shores of Capri, stars are stepping out with cozy knits draped effortlessly over their shoulders—and we don’t see the trend stopping anytime soon.

Cardigans are a smart must-have piece thanks to their comfortable feel and stylish versatility. Whether you’re slinging one over your shoulder on a warm, late summer day like Garner, Witherspoon and Paltrow, or layering it over tank tops when the temperatures drop, lightweight sweaters are a wardrobe staple for seasons to come.

We’ve rounded up the celeb-inspired cardigans and sweaters on Amazon, starting at $12.

Witherspoon added a pop of color to her outfit by tying a vibrant cardigan around her neck, and this sweater from Amazon looks so similar. Available in 17 brights and neutrals, including hot pink and khaki, the cardigan is “perfect for layering” and is easy to “dress up or down” depending on the occasion, according to customers. Copy the actress by slinging it over your shoulder or wearing it as a top with jeans and skirts.

“This is the first garment I have purchased from Grace Karin and I love it,” wrote one reviewer. “Thick enough to wear in places that are too cool like my office or a restaurant; not a cheap, thin material.”

“[This sweater is] nice enough to wear to the office and secretly feel like you’re wearing the comfiest sweatpants or pajama top ever,” one customer wrote. “So soft and versatile.”

Paltrow isn’t the only celebrity reaching for black and white striped sweaters lately: Lindsay Lohan also put her fashion stamp on the thing while on set with Jamie Lee Curtis. Take a page out of their style books by snagging this “luxe” look, as one Amazon shopper called it, while it’s on sale. Thousands of Amazon customers added it to their carts last month, and several reviewers note that it “looks more expensive than it is.”

“A very stylish and professional sweater for work,” wrote a reviewer. “[It’s made from a] a heavier blend that’s great for colder areas or even for layering between seasons.”
