Back to basics

You may think you know how to wear a cardigan—but with a few unexpected outfit combos and styling tricks, it turns out you can actually reinvent the timeless staple.

A cardigan doesn’t really go out of style, a notion that makes one a worthwhile investment no matter the trend du jour. A staple on the runways most seasons and a heavy presence in street style ensembles, the cardigan defies the fashion cycle. 

Proportion is one of the most important components of any ensemble. A classy top and baggy bottom, jeans for example provide an oversized element that complements the slim-fitting silhouette of an elegant simple button-down cardigan.

Pointy kitten-heel shoes add a girlish and surprising finishing touch to an otherwise casual look.
