One item that seems to never go out of fashion is the cardigan.
Simple, practical and sophisticated, cardigans always look great whether paired with jeans and a T-shirt or something a little fancier.
Either way, it always adds a touch of class, and the best part is guys and gals alike can sport this look.
Communications sophomore Samantha Beuther agrees saying they are versatile. “It’s always nice to have one — you can dress it up or dress it down,” Beuther says.
Although cardigans can be pretty basic, there are plenty of ways to mix it up.
The cardigan looks great in most fits. Try it over-sized, fitted or cropped, and wear it buttoned up or open.
Solid colored cardigans were popular this past fall, but for spring try it with embellishments or fun prints like polka dots. For the more demure, there are floral prints, or for something a little more exotic, try leopard print.
Also, shed the dark fall colors, and go for something with a little more pop this spring with brighter colors.
“[Cardigans] are definitely good to have. I feel like everyone should have at least one,” Beuther says.
