Knitted cardigans may be trendy from the runway, but you can always wear them in style. Follow these great tips to change the way you look and maybe even change the way you think about cardigans.
1. Try wearing your cardigan with a belt. Slouchy boyfriend, aka grandpa cardigans tend to be very casual wear and this is a way to wear them in a way that looks cool and stylish.
First, push up the sleeves, which instantly changes your look. Now you want a wide belt. You can probably find a few old belts at your local thrift or charity store.
Stand in front of the full-length mirror. Leave the cardigan buttons open and try each belt on your cardigan. Try both tighter and looser. When will you know it’s true. If you have a beret, wear it too. You will see that it looks great. French women know what they’re doing when they look like this!
2. Found a gorgeous cardigan that’s too big or baggy? What you want for this is a great brooch and a safety pin or two.
Put on the cardigan and stand in front of a mirror that is at least three quarters long. Now bring the right side of the card over the left and pull the left side under it to your right. There will be an overlap. Experiment with its structure – you want it to suit your figure best.
Hold this in place with a safety pin if necessary and hold the brooch in front of the card to find the best position. Now attach the brooch. This is a style that looks amazing with any cardigan.
3. If you have never tied a cardigan in front of you, you have not lived. This is especially great for a cardigan with a slightly loose waist. Note that this will likely stretch the cardigan.
Put on the cardigan, leaving the buttons unbuttoned, and stand in front of the mirror. Take the lower front corners of the cardi at or slightly above the waist and tie them together so that the cardi is a little tight. This will give you an idea of how much higher you might need to tie the knot.
Undo that and this time gather some more in front of your card before you tie the knot. Experiment a few times. The best position and tightness for you will depend on your body and the style and size of the cardigan. It usually looks best with a knot tied just below the bust. You will need to tie a double knot to make sure it stays in place. In some cardigans, one of the middle buttons coming up will make it stay better. You’ll know when you find the right knot position and tightness for this cardigan because you’ll look great.
4. Do you have a cardigan that has a nice color or texture but no longer looks as good as a cardigan? This is great for cold weather – we’ll make a great cardigan. You can use any cardigan for this. Moreover, it does not require any sewing, cutting and needling.
Pull the back of the cardigan over your upper back, drape the front half of the cardigan over your shoulders like a shawl, and swing the arms in front of you. Now hold one of the arms close to the cuff and slide it inside the top of the other arm. Put your other hand above the second arm until you grasp the first and pull through.
Put on your coat and button as much as you can comfortably. Remove the peep buttons and buttonholes. Not only will it be as hot as toast, but you’ll look great too.
5. If you want to dazzle, wear your cardigan from back to front. In the middle of the 20th century, the sirens of the cinema screen discovered this trick. And that caused them to sizzle.
Choose a cardigan that is slightly longer than waist length and preferably not loose. Gather the cardigan before putting it on, then pull it like a sweater but with the buttons at the back.
Now put a belt on it. For this style, you want a narrower belt. If Cardi is a little loose at the waist, pull the backup neatly to the sides and back. This style looks great with lipstick and high heels.
