In the 2000 comedy Miss Congeniality, there’s a scene in which a pageant contestant is asked to describe her perfect date. “I’d have to say April 25, because it’s not too hot, not too cold,” she says. She was pretty much right. Spring is that in-between time of year when a heavy coat or chunky sweater isn’t necessary, but it’s still too chilly to go totally bare-armed — which is why spring should be nicknamed sweaters-and-cardigan season.

When it comes to searching for exactly the best women’s sweaters or cardigans for spring (especially ones that pair well with your favorite baggy jeans or wide-leg pants), there are a few things to keep in mind. You can still opt for knits, but keep them lightweight, saving heavier options for later in the year. Of course, color is another important aspect of the ideal spring sweater. Light colors, like classic neutrals and pretty pastels, are the perfect segue into summer’s brights and bolds. It’s also the perfect time to experiment with playful designs and patterns. After all, you’ve been cooped up inside and hiding underneath all those winter layers, so might as well have some fun with your wardrobe.

Ahead we’ve curated 10 of the best spring sweaters and cardigans, including ones with fur-trimmed collars and fruit patterns that’ll inspire you to get out and enjoy that fresh, springtime air.
