Cardigans are a key closet staple that will never go out of style. The variety of different fabrics and cuts makes them so easy to layer and incorporate into everyday wear. The magic of this sweater is that it has the ability to overplay or downplay an outfit, making it either dressy or casual depending on the fabric. If you need a piece of clothing to pull it all together, this type of sweater is your go-to to do the job.
Many designers have enhanced this sweater trend in their spring collections by embellishing their cardigans with feathers, jewels, prints and lace. As with the seasons, they’ve transitioned from knit cardigans to lighter, looser cardigans, making the sweaters more suitable for the weather and occasion. Cardigans have always been known to be an afterthought instead of a statement piece. However, some of these looks have used these sweaters as center pieces and have drawn more attention to their understated charm. This trend in lightly adorned sweaters has definitely inspired a few this season, including this Fashionista!
This Fashionista opted for a beige wool blend cardigan to top off her look of a white-jeweled neckline shirt, black acid wash jeans and black patent shoes. She worked around her embellished top by using the cardigan to tone down her outfit and to keep warm, which are two great reasons why this sweater is the perfect piece of clothing this season.
