Cardigan sweaters don’t always get the pretty reputation that they should. Often seen as reserved, they made the perfect staple in the wardrobe of Charlotte York from Sex and the City. While she may have been prim and proper and a high-bred of New York City, basic cardigan sweaters do not always have to be as refined as her and as refined as her life.
There is nothing basic about the basic cardigan, so for a modern and youthful flair, wear your cardigan:
• with boyfriend jeans for the feminine and masculine combo
• wrapped around your neck wearing a slinky silk top and culottes, for that little bit of refinery but mostly for that emergency layer for summer nights out
• draped over your shoulders in a summer’s dress
• fitted with a pencil skirt for a sleek silhouette or with a flared skirt to even out the proportions.
• tucked it into high waisted pants
