"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

The older you get, the more you appreciate clothing that can 1) make you feel good and 2) make you look good. But even better? The clothes that can do both those things at once with zero effort. Enter: cardigan dresses. Consider cardigan dresses the Hannah Montana of sweater dresses because you truly get the best of both worlds—comfy but put-together, casual but stylish, soft but statement-making. You can wear them open, closed, or even halfway buttoned for a lil twist. Either way, you’ll look effortlessly cute while still feeling cozy, and that’s a win in my book.

Whether you want an easy way to elevate your winter work outfits or just want to feel like you're perpetually wrapped in your favorite cozy sweater, I rounded up cute knitted cardigan dresses that look like you put some effort into your outfit (it's ok, people don't need to know you just rolled out of bed). The options are kind of endless when it comes to throwing on one of these bbs—they can be styled with a pair of white sneaks for a casual on-the-go look or some badass leather boots for a night out on the town.

From a colorful designer find from Christopher John Rogers to a classic, budget-friendly option on Amazon, ahead you'll find 24 knitted cardigan dresses that are the epitome of love at first sight. Your wardrobe will thank you later.
