Cardigans
FAQs
What is a cardigan?
A cardigan is a knitted layer that opens at the front, usually with buttons, ties or a wrap-style design. It’s one of those wardrobe staples you can throw on over tops, dresses and tanks for an extra layer or a more styled look.
What is the difference between a cardigan and a sweater?
A sweater is typically a pullover, while a cardigan opens at the front. This makes cardigans especially versatile, as they can be worn open, buttoned up or tied depending on the look you’re going for.
How should I wear a cardigan?
Cardigans are one of the easiest layers to style. Pair a cardigan with denim and a simple tank for everyday plans, or style it with a satin skirt, mini dress or tailored pants when you want something a little more elevated. You can also wear a cardigan buttoned up as a top for a fresh take on the trend.
Are cardigans appropriate for work?
Absolutely. A cardigan can be an easy layering piece for office days, especially when paired with tailored pants, skirts or a simple dress. Stick to classic colors and clean silhouettes for a more elevated look.
How do I wash a cardigan?
Always check the care label first, as different knit fabrics may require different care. As a general guide, wash gently in cold water where suitable, avoid excessive wringing and lay flat to dry to help maintain the shape and texture of your cardigan.
How should I choose a cardigan silhouette?
Think about how you plan to style it. Relaxed silhouettes are perfect for layering over tanks, tees and dresses, while cropped cardigans pair effortlessly with high-waisted denim, skirts and pants. Longline styles are ideal if you’re after an easy extra layer for cooler days.
