The cardigan is one of the most universal pieces of clothing. It can be dressed up, casual, preppy, or punk. It can be plain or ornamented. It can be sexy or conservative. And when it fits well, it always looks wonderful. The perfect cardigan has a length touching the top hem of your pants, is snug around the waist, and has secure buttons that do not pull or come undone by themselves. This cut will slim you, highlight your torso (waist and chest), and elongate the arms. The cardigan is so instrumental in layering, that I think they may have been the original layered piece. And with a luxurious fabric, it can be one of the warmest items you own. My favorite cardigan is a soft wool in chocolate with pockets at the hips. It is so incredibly warm; I almost dont need a coat on snowy days.
So pick up a colorful cardigan to celebrate the upcoming spring, and stay warm until the snow stops falling.
