Cardigan
Men's Cardigans
Cardigans for men are popular for casual wear. While there are not nearly as many cardigan options for men as there are for women, it is perfectly acceptable for men to wear them as an extra layer for warmth, or over a dress shirt and tie for a less-formal business look. Men's cardigans are made out of many materials. If you are looking for warmth, heavy-knit wool is a good option. If you are more concerned about how it looks and don't need the added heat, acrylic, cotton, and rayon are only a few of the options available.
Women's Cardigans
Women's cardigans are much more varied than men's. They range from casual to almost formal. Cardigans can be found with different sleeve lengths, from full to three-quarter to half lengths. Some come with bright patterns, while others are block colors. One popular option for dressy-casual wear is a sweater set, where a sweater or a sweater tank-top is combined with a cardigan of the same color. For fun options, many cardigans come with embellishments such as embroidery, fancy buttons, sequins, and fake flowers. The cardigans that best suit you will depend on the styles you are looking for. Once again, take into consideration how warm you want the cardigan to be when wearing your cardigan. Traditional cardigans, hand-made in wool, are available. These give a beautiful, traditional look, and are very warm. Cardigans are available in almost any type of material. Choose one in which you feel comfortable, and that keeps you sufficiently warm.
Accessorizing
Because cardigans are meant to be layered on what you are already wearing, they are a nice accessory to enliven an outfit or to make summer dresses into appropriate fall and winter wear. However you use them, and whatever styles you choose, cardigans are an easy, acceptable fashion choice and adapt well to nearly every look.
