7 Cardigan Tips for Girls Who Want to Be Warm but Stylish ...

1. Dress It down

Cardigans are perfect for an easy, casual look. You can use them to cover up strappy tanks for school or at the office. Match it with a pair of boyfriend jeans and some sneakers. This is an easy, relaxed look that anyone can pull off.

2. Dress It up

Use a simple cardigan to cover a cute dress or add to a flowing skirt. Cardigans are so versatile you can wear them with almost anything. My favorite look is a cute floral dress with a white cardigan and my old cowboy boots.

3. Look Slimmer

One nice thing about cardigans is they help give the appearance of a slimmer figure. A large cozy cardigan is perfect for concealing any lumps and bumps you want to hide. Add a thin belt around your waist under the cardigan for an even slimmer look.

4. Smaller Bust

If you have a small bust, that high button closure works great. It adds a little bulk up there without being too obvious. This is a great look with a simple blouse or tank for at the office.

5. Play with Fabrics

Cardigans can add texture to your outfit. You can opt for a knitted or lace cardigan if you want texture. Jersey and cashmere are great for softness and comfort. What’s your favorite cardigan material?

6. Choose the Right Neckline

V-neck cardigans look best with square or straight necklines underneath. If your cardigan is scoop neck, pair it with a scoop neck top. A curved, straight, or waterfall cardigan works well with most every neckline top.

7. Consider Length

A cropped cardigan looks good with either a slightly longer or much, much longer shirt. On the other hand, a hip length cardigan is best with a top that is shorter than the outside layer. If your cardigan is just a bit shorter than hip length, a shirt that is just a little longer is good.
