Fall/winter warmers. Lulu’s Top 5 Aran Cardigans for Her

Hi Everyone. I hope I find you all well. So it looks like summer is well and truly over here in Ireland. The leaves on the trees are beginning to change to their beautiful autumn colors and the temperature has certainly begun to fall. While it’s always so sad to see the end of warmers days, there is one advantage to the chillier temperatures. It means it’s time to dig out your favourite Aran sweater or spruce up your wardrobe for the season ahead! So to get us in the mood, I’ve chosen 5 of our customer favorite Aran cardigans from The Irish Store to give you all some fall/winter inspiration.

Lulu’s Top 5 Aran Cardigans For Her

1. Hooded Aran Zipper Coat

Of all our Aran cardigans, this is our number one bestselling 5 star customer favorite and it’s easy to see why everyone loves it so much. First of all, the yarn is luxurious merino wool. Super soft and so easy to wear. Next, there’s the design. Traditional Aran stitch patterns combine beautifully with the stylish modern cut which features 2 snug side pockets and a cozy hood to keep those chills at bay. Finally, there’s the crafted Trinity knot zip pull which gives an unmistakably Celtic finish. It teams beautifully with your favourite jeans and comes in no less than 5 gorgeous colors. 

2. The Valentia Aran Cardigan

Next up it’s the simply stunning Valentia Aran cardigan which forms part of our Inishmore collection. Our exclusive design features the zig-zag stitch. According to Aran Islander folklore, this stitch represents the ups and downs of married life and the twisting island paths leading down to the Atlantic. It’s beautifully trimmed with classic cable and everyone’s favorite lucky honeycomb stitch and features a front zipper fastening and a stylish stand-up collar. One things for sure, you won’t find an Aran cardigan quite like this one anywhere else! 

3. The Aran Boyfriend Cardigan

Number 3 on our list of Aran cardigans is another 5 star customer favourite. With its relaxed oversized length, the boyfriend cardigan has become a style classic and a must have for any discerning fall/winter wardrobe. The Aran stitch craft here is exquisite with the basket stitch taking center stage. This stitch symbolizes the Islander fisherman’s baskets and hopes of a plentiful catch at sea. It is beautifully trimmed with classic cable, a tribute to the fisherman’s ropes. Featuring traditional brown football buttons for the classic Aran look. 

4. The Kenmare Aran Cardigan

Time for a blast of color with our next fall/winter warmer. The Kenmare Aran cardigan shares it’s name with the picturesque town of the same name in county Kerry and I just love this rich plum shade pictured above. The two tone merino yarn gives some added texture and richness and it showcases the diamond trellis stitch in beautiful detail. The gorgeous Trinity knot zip pull gives a final Celtic flourish.

5. Wide Collared Button Aran Coat

Our final offering is a total winner in every way. Stylish, versatile and a wonderful addition to your collection of Irish knitwear. Another 5 star customer favorite and it’s no surprise that it’s such a big hit! The stunning design makes a real statement with its oversized collar and stylish 3 button side fastening. It also features traditional Aran cable stitching throughout, a tribute to the Aran Islander fisherman’s ropes and now a timeless knitwear design. The three-quarter length gives extra warmth on those chilly days. Choose smart navy or soft gray in beautifully soft merino wool.
