Can You Wear a Cardigan for a Casual Weekend?

For a casual weekend, style your cardigan like the relaxed layering piece it is — nothing precious, just easy polish. Pair it with White Sneakers for errand-running that stays comfortable, or throw it over a Flannel Shirt for brunch that reads put-together without trying too hard. The goal is off-duty refinement, not dressed-down sloppiness.
