What Are Cardigans

A cardigan is a knitted sweater designed to have an open front. They are super fashionable, and are great for layering!

Type of Cardigans

We often think of a cardigan as a buttoned-up sweater made of heavy woven wool. But there's so much more to this style! Cardigans are one of the most popular items to wear in winter or for year round layering. They come with various looks that can take you from elegant and classy to comfy and laid back.

Open Front Cardigans

The open cardigans are a wardrobe staple for any fashionista. The variety in styles and hemlines make them perfect for many occasions—you're sure to find one that works best for your style. A popular open cardigan style is the draped or shawl collar cardigan, where the neckline and hemline drape loosely on your body with an open front.

Long Cardigan with Hoodie

Long cardigans with hoodies are often knee-length, made of thick wool or a lighter knit. This is a popular style, especially in those early fall days where you do not need a jacket but still want protection from the ever-changing weather. The typical way to wear this flowy cardigan style is to pair it with a tighter v-neck top with skinny jeans and sneakers. This kind of cardigan is generally seen as comfortable fashion, so it's likely not the look you'll want to wear within a work environment with a strict dress code!

Long Striped Cardigan

Long striped cardigans are often the perfect substitute for a long coat. They are typically knee-length, although some women prefer longer cuts. Tribal Fashion's long striped cardigans will be your go-to piece this fall. The cut works with any other wardrobe staple to make for a versatile outfit that can easily transition from day into night or vice versa, depending on how you style it!

Zipped and Button-Front Cardigans

Zipped cardigans typically are designed with pockets in the front and are an excellent substitute for jackets, especially in cooler office settings.

Eyelash Cardigans

While not truly a style of cardigan, eyelash thread is a commonly used fabric that women love! This new trend jazzes up your wintertime wardrobe with furry eyelash yarn. The textured wispy strands make for a fuzzy, cozy look perfect for those cold winter days.

Cardigans with Pockets

Who doesn't love pockets! Like other sweaters, cardigans of all styles often come with pockets on the hip area.

How to Wear a Cardigan Sweater

You can never go wrong with a cardigan. They're the perfect choice for those looking to dress up but still be comfortable in their outfit, and they'll add an extra layer that will keep you warm when it's chilly out - especially if there are zippers or large buttons on them. Follow these tips to ensure your look isn't frumpy - but fabulous: 

• Shop for a style and length that suits your body type.
• Pair your cardigan with form-fitting clothes or a belted dress.
• Pay attention to the fit (some women like to size down when shopping for longer cardigans!)
• Pay attention to the fit of the arms and their length.
• Follow current trends.
• Wear slouchy cardigans cautiously: wear with leggings or skinny jeans.
• Pay attention to ALL angles when shopping for a long cardigan (what does the rear-view look like?)

When to Wear a Cardigan?

Go casual

Slip on your favorite jeans, a cute top and throw on the cardigan to tie everything together. Add in some statement jewelry for an extra layer that will have heads turning! You can go monochrome or stand out with one bold color like yellow-green but make sure you keep it simple - no more than three colors total per outfit if possible.

Dress up

For a semi-formal occasion, you can't go wrong with a nicely fitted cardigan. Pair with a pencil skirt, a slim-line top, and you're ready to go. Or you can keep it simple with black trousers and a collared shirt, or swap out work pants for jeans, so you can quickly head out for drinks!

What to Wear Under a Cardigan

What you pair with your cardigan depends on where you're headed. There are virtually no rules with this layer! Here are the most popular looks:

• Casual: Jeans and a t-shirt.
• Semi-Formal: Short dress with a long knit cardigan (cinch your waist using a belt!)
• Formal: Pencil skirt and a dress shirt.
