It’s sweata weatha! Then again if you’re me, it’s always sweater weather. But today we’re talking about cardigans. They’re a wardrobe staple all year round, and not only can they transform any outfit, there are so many ways to style them. Whether you’re looking to elevate a look with something chic or go cool and casual, they are functional and easy to wear. There are so many styles from chunky to cropped to long, and especially as the weather get’s chiller, cardigans are a practical and cozy layer to keep you warm. Today I’m sharing different ways to style a cardigan and some of my favorite options if you’re looking to add one to your wardrobe!
How To Style A Cardigan
Dress it up
Pair a long cardigan with heeled booties and skinny jeans or faux leather leggings to dress it up. Or pair a classic ballet cardigan with trousers and a loafers.
Go monochrome
I love a monochrome moment and a simple cardigan with similar toned pants is so chic. This look with a white cardigan and white jeans is so classic and stylish.
Wear it casual
Keep it easy and comfy in a cardigan with jeans and a tee shirt. Pair a chunky cardigan with straight leg jeans and sneakers or try boyfriend jeans with a fitted tee and classic button cardigan.
Layer for fall and winter
Get super cozy for cooler temps and layer a cardigan over a lighter knit sweater or wear it under a cozy camel coat. For warmer months try a simple silk tank under a cozy cashmere cardigan.
Borrow from the boys
Some of my favorite sweater finds are from the men’s section. If you’re looking for something oversized, check out the men’s styles (especially if you’re thrift shopping!).
