The GREAT. The Commander Riding Cardigan — Cream

This is not your basic cream cardigan. The Commander Riding Cardigan has that equestrian-inspired look that feels classic and polished, while still being easy enough to throw on with your favorite denim.

I especially love a statement knit like this for fall because it can essentially take the place of a jacket. Add jeans and a great shoe, and you really don't need much else.

Why I Love It

• Equestrian-inspired details make it feel special
• Cream keeps it classic and incredibly versatile
• More interesting than a traditional cardigan
• Easy with denim, trousers and skirts
• Can be worn as a sweater or lightweight jacket
• A statement piece that still feels timeless

Dear Lucy Edit

This is the cardigan that makes the outfit. 🤍

I've always loved pieces that give you a lot of impact without requiring a lot of styling, and this is exactly that.

I'd pair it with relaxed denim + a brown loafer or ballet flat and leave everything else simple. The riding-inspired details are what make it interesting.

It has that slightly preppy, slightly equestrian feeling that looks particularly good in fall — and it's exactly the kind of cardigan I'd keep for years.
