Cardigans have always been classic and comfortable,

but they've never been cooler—or wilder, for that matter—than they are right now. There are so many iterations of button-up sweaters from brands big and small. Along with various techniques for creating them—from patchworking and fluffy mohair knits to hand-crocheted. But the best ones all have one thing in common: Bold colors, patterns and prints, giving some new sartorial life to this run-of-the-mill garment.

You've probably witnessed your favorite athlete walking down the team's tunnel or celebrities standing on a street corner in some eye-catching prints. One brand that has been delivering the best hand-crocheted cardigans for the past few seasons is New York-based Corridor. Founded in 2013 by Dan Snyder, the brand makes easy-wearing essentials like cool graphic tees, Italian denim and some of the best knitwear in the game. Everything (including the textiles) is designed in-house with ethically and environmentally sustainable workshops specializing in the finest quality weaving, knitting, and sewing. Case in point: their popular hand-crocheted cardigan.

Hand-crocheted from chunky cotton yarn, the open-knit design is made entirely by hand by a Peruvian women's collective. Perhaps that's why it looks like something your great-grandmother made while baking your favorite chocolate chip cookies. And like wrapping yourself up in a cozy blanket, the sweater is durable and hardy, yet breathable for easy layering over a T-shirt or wearing underneath a winter coat. But it's not a subtle look. Although the print is reminiscent of a bouquet during the springtime—it doesn't mean you can't sport it while it's cold. We asked designer (and music lover) Snyder what he's pairing with his label's cardigan these days.
