9 Reasons to Embrace the Coatigan (Again)

Popped collars, Von Dutch trucker caps, spray-tanning: There are plenty of early-2000s trends we never, ever want to see return. But there’s one we welcome with open arms: The coatigan is officially back, y’all.

The maxi sweater, longline cardigan, or coatigan — whatever you call it, it’s been bubbling up for the last few seasons. We’ve seen oversized cardis on runways from Céline to Saint Laurent. Zara’s been making them for a few seasons, luxe-basics brand AYR couldn’t keep their version in stock, and street style stars love ‘em.

And if all that zeitgeist isn’t enough to convince you, how about the fact that it’s the most easy-to-wear trend imaginable? Wearing a duster is basically like taking your bathrobe to go — that’s something any #cozygirl can get behind. Click ahead for 9 ways to wear the trend that won’t make you look like the bad kind of throwback.
