It’s time to peel back the winter layers and prepare for spring, and one of the first sensible buys of the season is, of course, the perennial appeal of a lightweight cardigan — not too heavy, not too light, a saviour on days when the weather is still crisp.

It might be a plush handknit option from the array of local knitters or something that still feels polished, like a fitted professional cardi from Kate Sylvester or Standard Issue.
