Kelly Clarkson Wore a Crochet Sweater, Get the Look

When it comes to popular summer layers, a denim jacket likely comes to mind. But you may not want to wear one to all of your upcoming events (especially if they are more formal). Fortunately, Kelly Clarkson just offered a great alternative.

On an episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the singer and host wore the easiest summer outfit that included easy-to-match staples — a black T-shirt, a white skirt, and a crochet cardigan. Crochet is an obvious choice for warm weather, as the fabric allows plenty of airflow — plus Taylor Swift is a fan of the fabric, too. 

Clarkson’s crochet sweater can be worn with skirts, shorts, jeans, and trousers for endless outfit potential. If you already have a denim jacket, give this breezy layer a try with cardigans inspired by Kelly Clarkson at Amazon, Nordstrom, and more below. 

Crochet Cardigans Inspired by Kelly Clarkson

Maeve Chunky Open-Stitch Cardigan

If you’re a fan of the chunky look of Clarkson’s sweater, you can copy her style with this cardigan at Anthropologie. It comes in a similar cream shade and has slightly puffed sleeves like the talk show host’s sweater. Plus, the carigan has an open-front design, which makes it easy to slip on. One five-star reviewer called it “perfect for cool summer nights.”

Ninfort Crochet Sweater

You can also get a crochet sweater at Amazon for as little as $30. This option has a long hem that hits below the waist, so you can even wear it to the beach or for a dressy night out, like one Amazon shopper suggests. In the past month alone, more than 400 shoppers have added the sweater to their closets, and it’s available in eight gorgeous colors like beige, light purple, and yellow.

Splendid Brenda Cardigan

In addition to crochet, you can opt for this cardigan by Splendid, which is made with knitted cotton to keep you cool yet covered. The balloon sleeves add an elegant detail that you can wear from beach to brunch. And not only are the buttons functional and easy to layer, but they are eye-catching. Pack it on an upcoming vacation like reviewers did in either white, tan, or black.
