I Want to Look Expensive This Autumn—These Reformation Cardigans Get My Stamp of Approval
You might already know and love Reformation's Clara Cashmere cardigan, but for autumn 2026, the offering has expanded, and it's never looked more polished. Scroll to see which Reformation cardigans are currently at the top of my wish list.
I know it’s a little much to be thinking about autumn whilst it's still 25ºC outside, but as much as I’ve been loving the sun-baked weather, in the blink of an eye, grey days will become the norm again. So, if, like me, you prefer to stay ahead of the curve, curating a transitional wardrobe now is the smartest choice for shopping. I'm thinking about swapping my breezy linen trousers for denim jeans, and pretty broderie blouses for long T-shirts, and before long, a cosy cardigan.
Versatile, comfortable and timeless in their construction, cardigans have long been the easiest (and chicest) way to progress your staples into autumn. Having spent hours perusing new-in sections and searching high and low for the most sophisticated, expensive-looking cardigans around, I happened across Reformation's latest drop.
Shopping editor Florrie Alexander wears the ReformationClara Cashmere Cardigan in Black (£198).
Ref is a brand that needs no introduction. Marrying modern minimalism with vintage-inspired motifs and a strong message of sustainability throughout, this mid-range label has earned its place within the capsule wardrobes of fashion's most stylish insiders and celebrities alike. Pippa Middleton adores the romantic Naira floral dress, whilst Kaia Gerber has long championed the slouched Jadey jumper. And rather unsurprisingly, a host of other Reformation designs have achieved best-seller status (see the Cynthia High Rise jeans for just one example).
The beloved Clara Cashmere cardigan has long been my go-to, but as I looked through the brand's latest styles, I couldn’t help but notice just how elevated all the iterations are. Now, if you’re looking for a roundup of maximalist prints and vivid hues, this perhaps is not the edit for you. Instead, you’ll find reinterpreted classics that whisper luxury, neutral colours designed with longevity in mind and pieces made from some of the finest recycled materials on the market right now. Scroll down to shop the best Reformation cardigans for autumn 2026.
Shop the Best Reformation Cardigans of 2026
As I said before, the Clara Cashmere needs no introduction. Beloved for its relaxed fit and slouched, front-button design, this best-selling style is currently available in 19 prints and patterns.
The brand's take on the waisted cardigan sports a softly structured waist and balloon sleeves to create a jaw-droppingly beautiful shape.
A newer Ref cardigan design, the short-sleeved Maude's unrestrictive shape will instantly elevate your go-to rotation of jeans and ballet flats this year.
So lightweight it feels cloud-soft on the skin, the Caspia's elegant design will make you pull it out year after year.
This cardigan is comprised of 100% Natvia wool (which is regarded as one of the oldest and best natural fibres available).
Again, in 100% Natvia wool, this plush V-neck will look so chic styled with the collar of a shirt peeking through.
If you're a lover of the Clara but want a lighter fabrication, the brand has recently released the style in a lightweight cotton too.
