Cardigans Every Woman Needs One (or more)

Cardigans are usually knitted sweaters or jumpers that tie, zip or button down the front. James Brudenell, who was a British military commander serving in the Crimean War, was the 7th Earl of Cardigan, and this garment was named after him. It’s usually made from wool or cotton or even acrylic. This “woolly” has come back into fashion recently, for both women and men, and this Winter those long and chunky cardigans or floating type ones, will be worn over leggings — in the world of high fashion, at least.

More choices than ever before exist for this type of warm garment. They can be worn with most all types of other clothing, as well as leggings, such as pants or skirts or even jeans. Variety in this comforting and warming and versatile piece of clothing is almost endless, so it is an absolute must-have for the well-dressed woman,

Cardigans For Work

You can substitute cardigans for a jacket at work. They are lighter and work well in the Summer time or during transitional seasons such as Autumn or Spring. A slim cardigan over trousers or skirts is very smart looking and those of medium length can look very tailored for business wear. They should go to your hips, or just below, and although wonderful for a chilly afternoon at home, one should avoid those long ones at work. A good cardigan is more affordable than a jacket, and that means you can have several rather than just one! This will give you variety in your wardrobe colour schemes.

Cardigans And Jeans

This pairing is a great and classic look, and so comfortable. Feminine, yet not “girly”, jeans and cardigans are wonderful for a casual look in the country or city. You can use jeans with a striped cardigan for sports-watching, or with a frilly and very pretty cardigan for a lunch or cinema date. Add a slim cardigan under a thicker one and make it doubly-warming for Winter, plus add a scarf for colour at your neckline.

Cardigans Together With Summer Dresses

A Summer party or event or even a wedding is the perfect place to wear a dress and matching cardigan. If a chilly breeze comes up your arms are covered and you won’t be shivering. Cotton cardigans are wonderful for this as they are breathable and lightweight and can be very fancy or simply stunning, done in a pastel colour. Perhaps the best thing about this garment is that it goes with so many different things.

Cardigans And Skinny Leggings

You may be bold enough to wear leggings again (or for the first time). A longer cardigan is need for this and it should be mid-thigh or knee-length so that it covers your back in a nice drape. This is good if you don’t like your “going” view as much as your “coming” view.
