The cardigan may be the most versatile clothing item out there. It is a perfect layering piece, can be worn with anything from jeans to a little black dress and it's cozy enough to keep you warm when the weather outside is frightful. The best part is that not only can it be worn in so many different ways but also they come in such a wide variety of styles and colors to match any outfit. They're perfect for layering during wintertime and wearing as a jacket over your favorite dress. In addition to being worn as an outer layer, cardigans can also be thrown into the mix with other clothes for that extra bit of warmth or just to add some color and texture. In this article, we will discuss the best cardigan styles and the outfits they complement.
Okay so maybe not everyone can afford to spend $1,000 on a cashmere cardigan but the brand Uniqlo has some seriously good cardigans for a very affordable price. The fabric is thick and cozy which makes it perfect for layering during wintertime. It comes in many colors and styles all of which are stylish. I would be careful about wearing this as your outer layer because it can get kind of bulky if you choose to wear too much underneath (I recommend sticking to one shirt or dress). The cashmere cardigan compliments most styles of casual clothing.
This cardigan is definitely a favorite as it goes with anything in a closet. It's very versatile and adds a sense of class to whatever you are wearing; whether it's jeans or a simple dress, the camel color always looks chic no matter what. These cardigans are best worn with colored jeans or cream-colored pants because it's a bit more flattering on the eye. However, if you're really confident with wearing black pants, then wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.
This cardigan is perfect for creative types. Try pairing this with some nice dark blue jeans and a pretty white blouse. If you like to accessorize your outfit then go ahead and throw on that statement necklace or belt. The lace-up cardigans are stylish; they come in many colors, prints, fabrics (I personally really like the cotton ones). These cardigans look best paired with more feminine pieces of clothing rather than casual/tomboy styles which makes them perfect to wear during date night or any other special occasion.
You can wear this cardigan open with your favorite dress for a relaxed, cool style; you can wear it as a blazer over a casual button-down shirt and pair it with some nice jeans; you can even wear it as an outer layer and tie it in the front to highlight your waist. The possibilities are truly endless when wearing those simple but versatile cotton solid color cardigans.
Animal print is so hot right now and this applies to both wilder animal prints such as leopard print and softer ones like cheetah print. This type of cardigan is one of my favorites because not only does it add uniqueness to whatever you’re wearing but add in some confidence while wearing it. These cardigans go best with simple and basic outfits so be sure to pair them with something that will stand out. For example, you can wear a solid-colored shirt with subtle details such as ruffles or pleats and pair it with pants for a casual look.
These types of cardigans are very flattering on the figure, especially if you have an hourglass shape. Try wearing this type of cardigan over either your favorite dress or basic white button-down shirt during date night or any other special occasion where you want to look your absolute feminine best. You can even wear this type of cardigan during the wintertime because it has a nice weight to it which makes you feel warm and comfy.
