00:00Okay, so if you've ever stepped outside in July and immediately regretted every life decision
00:04that led you to wearing a tank top under direct sunlight, this one's for you.
00:08I went down a serious rabbit hole looking for thin-knit cardigans that actually keep
00:13the sun off your arms without turning you into a walking sauna, and honestly?
00:17I found five that are ridiculously good for the price.
00:20We're talking under 11 bucks across the board.
00:24Let's get into it.
00:26Starting off with the black and white lace-up knit cardigan, and this is the one I keep
00:30coming back to.
00:32The lantern sleeves are the star here, they give you that soft, billowy shape that actually
00:36lets air move around your arms instead of clinging to them.
00:39It's cropped, it's got that lace-up detail down the front, and it layers over basically
00:44anything, a slip dress, a bodysuit, high-waisted jeans.
00:48$9.99
00:50Almost 4,900 people have bought it and it's sitting at a 4.7.
00:55For 10 bucks, that's a no-brainer summer staple.
00:58Next up is the white version of that same silhouette, and I know what you're thinking,
01:02why is the white one a dollar more?
01:05Honestly, because white just hits different in summer.
01:08It reflects heat instead of absorbing it, so you're genuinely cooler wearing it, and it
01:13goes with absolutely everything in your closet.
01:16Same Korean-style lantern sleeves, same lace-up front, same 4.7 rating with over 4,800 sold.
01:23$10.96
01:25If you're only buying one cardigan this season, I'd probably make it this one.
01:30Now, product 3 is the sleeper hit of this list.
01:33It's another white lace-up lantern sleeve cardigan, but here's the thing, it's $8.98,
01:38the cheapest of the three, and it's got a perfect 5-star rating with 4,400 sales behind it.
01:43That combination is rare.
01:46People are getting it, wearing it, and coming back to say it's exactly what they expected.
01:51The knit is light enough to wear indoors with the A.C. blasting, but it still does the job
01:56outside.
01:57Under $9 for a 5-star piece is just good math.
02:01Then we've got the Joevalu hollow-out cardigan, and this is the budget champion at $6.66.
02:08$6.66
02:10The hollow-out knit pattern is genuinely pretty, it's got that delicate, almost crochet-like
02:15texture that makes it look way more expensive than it is.
02:18It's cut like a crop shawl coat, so it drapes really nicely over a dress or a fitted tee.
02:245-star rating, 4,400 sold.
02:27If you want to test out the whole thin cardigan thing without committing money, start right here.
02:33And rounding it out, the mesh batwing cardigan at $8.79.
02:37This one's the most relaxed of the bunch, loose, oversized, see-through mesh knit with
02:41batwing sleeves that just flow.
02:43It's the beach cover-up, the airport outfit, the throw-it-on-over-everything piece.
02:48Because it's so open and breathable, you get sun coverage without any of the heat trapping.
02:545-stars, 3,800 sold.
02:56If your style leans more effortless and slouchy than fitted and structured, this is your pick.

03:06they sell out again.
