How to Style a Cardigan

Outerwear

A cardigan works as outerwear because it layers over nearly anything without adding bulk. Here it pairs with White Sneakers for casual ease, Pencil Skirt for a polished look, and Flannel Shirt when you need extra warmth. Add Sunglasses or a Structured Tote and the outfit shifts from unfinished to complete.
