Cardigans are having a moment — and honestly, we’re here for it.
Once considered a classic layering piece, the cardigan has officially stepped into the spotlight as a must-have style. From street style to everyday outfits, cardigans are being worn buttoned-up as tops, layered over tanks, or styled casually with denim for that effortless, put-together look. And if there’s one cardigan our customers can’t get enough of, it’s the Medina Cardigan.
Why the Medina Cardigan Is a Best Seller
The Medina Cardigan has quickly earned best-seller status at Hollie Ray — and for good reason. It hits that sweet spot between trendy and timeless, making it a piece you’ll reach for season after season.
The fit is flattering without feeling tight, the ribbed texture adds just the right amount of detail, and the lightweight knit makes it perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Button it all the way up, leave a few undone, or throw it over a tee — the Medina does it all.
Meet the Three New Colors
Just when you thought you couldn’t love it more, we added three fresh shades that feel so right for right now:
 Appletini | This soft, fresh green is a standout. It’s playful, on-trend, and surprisingly easy to style. Pair it with light denim for an everyday look or layer it over a neutral tank to let the color shine. |
 Pink Crush | A perfect pop of pink that feels fun but still wearable. Pink Crush adds a little sweetness to your outfit without going overboard — ideal for brightening up your denim days. |
 Custard | If you love soft neutrals, Custard is for you. This creamy yellow is warm, subtle, and incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with denim, whites, and even darker bottoms for a balanced look. |
How We’re Styling It
One of our favorite things about the Medina Cardigan is how versatile it is. It’s the kind of piece that makes getting dressed feel effortless.
Five Ways to Wear Your Cardigan:
Wear it like outerwear: Layer your cardigan open over a tank or smooth tee, or even over a dress, and let it function as a lightweight jacket. This creates an easy, pulled-together look that works from errands to dinner plans.
Buttoned up and classic: Fully button your cardigan and style it like a sweater with high-waisted denim, tailored trousers, or a pencil skirt. It’s timeless, flattering, and endlessly versatile.
A soft V for evening: Unbutton a few buttons at the top to create a subtle V-neckline. Paired with a skirt or leather bottoms, this look feels elevated without trying too hard—perfect for a casual night out.
The partial button: Button just the top two or three buttons and leave the rest undone for a modern, flattering silhouette. This styling trick creates a V-shape that elongates the torso and subtly defines the waist.
Preppy and effortless: Drape your cardigan over your shoulders or loosely tie it around your neck for a chic, preppy finish. It’s a stylish way to carry an extra layer while adding interest to your outfit.
If you love it, buy it another color:
If you already own one of the new shades — or prefer a tried-and-true color — the Medina Cardigan is still available in Serene Blue, True Red, Black, and Garland Green. These classic hues make it easy to dress the cardigan up or down and ensure it works seamlessly with your existing wardrobe.
