Cardigans are similar to pullover sweaters in that they are knitted or crocheted, but what makes them different is that they are open in the front and do not need to be “pulled over” the head. They are an indispensable wardrobe item and can be styled endlessly. These types of sweaters are very popular in cool weather and their versatility allows them to be worn on casual or formal occasions. Here are a few style ideas for cardigans.
Solid color sweaters are the easiest to combine as they can be combined with all other colors and patterns. Try a muted gray worn over a multicolored printed tank top and white shorts for a summery look. Accessorize with espadrilles and an everyday leather clutch bag to finish! If you want a brighter palette, try a turquoise or mustard knit over a fitted black top, cropped denim skirt, and funky wedges. Carry a handbag and some funky crystal earrings for a little extra bling. Or try a bright red cardamom over a black and white striped dress and yellow heels for an unexpected burst of extra color!
Mixing prints and textures can be intimidating, but the great thing about cardigans is that if you’re feeling intimidated or insecure about it, you can always take them off. Try pairing a teal lace dress with a fitted bodice under a loose black and white tribal shrug. Worn over a navy blue top with a small floral print, the southwestern-patterned short-sleeved knit looks great with jeans and boots. Add a textured and studded envelope clutch to complete this eccentric yet stylish outfit.
For more formal events, try wearing a fitted navy blue cardigan inside a knee-length plum skirt tied with a burgundy belt. Complete with a collared necklace, heels, and a sparkly clutch bag. A floral dress and black flats under a soft shrug also work well for less casual events. You can also try a soft neutral on a white top and white pants for a cool spring outfit. For a touch of excitement, complete with a burgundy red soft leather handbag or clutch.
These braids are very useful for layering when the weather gets cold. A cardamom can be worn under a winter coat for extra warmth. If it’s too cold outside, put on a tube scarf and a hat. Looking good is one thing, but you should never compromise your health.
