Cardigans Aren't Boring If You Wear Them With This Winter Jacket Trend in This Color

By Swedan MargenDecember 3, 2025

Cardigans can get a bit of a bad rap for being "boring", but it all depends on how you style them. It’s an easy piece to throw on when you don’t feel like overthinking an outfit, and staying warm and cozy is the only thing on your mind. Fortunately, there are simple ways to style a cardigan that look much more interesting and stylish, and Cynthia Erivo just displayed one of them to perfection. She was just spotted wearing an effortlessly chic outfit that included a simple gray cardigan and the winter jacket trend that makes it look infinitely cooler.

The jacket style Erivo opted for was a brown bomber-style leather jacket, which she layered over her cardigan, paired with loose blue jeans with cuffs, and sleek black patent leather stiletto boots, all while listening to a tune on her wired headphones (which IMO is an accessory in itself). Winter is a tricky season to dress for, but Erivo proves it doesn’t have to be boring. Drab layers and frumpy silhouettes be gone—cardigans have never looked so stylish. I love a black leather jacket, but brown leather bombers are winning me over this season.
