exactly how to wear the cardigan?

I agree with some of you here, “cardigan” does not noise like the most interesting piece of garments in the wardrobe.
But it is a fashionable method to be warm while staying stylish.
Because it covers the shoulder, back as well as arms while revealing the layers underneath.
1. exactly how to select them?
Just like a sweater/jumper cardigans come in all kinds of fabrics.
From fluffy angora knits to incredibly thind cashmere as well as silk blend.
Choose them according to the weather condition as well as what you are wearing underneath (a thin material may expose the wrinkles for instance).
Good news: whereas chunky sweaters/jumpers look bulky on women who are chubby or muscular on the upper body, cardigans fit all bodytypes no matter what their thickness is. even best: they are extremely flattering.
This is since they produce vertical slimming lines on the upper body.
For most people the best lenght is mid hips or just under the bum. Shorter may make you look square if the cardigan is large. Longer is nice, however a lot more flattering if you are not as well petite/short.
If you have a lot more belly than hips, cardigan is the best product to blur this zone.
2. exactly how to wear them?
A. The short (and thin) cardigan
Almost always made of a thin fabric, this one looks extremely well-behaved.
They are exception to what I said just above since they fit general thin women best (the material would stretch on girls with curvy arms/ breast as well as the thin upper part would contrast with the width of the hips for girls with larger bottoms).
I like to wear them with nothing underneath, like a sweater/jumper in other words.
You can likewise wear them open on a top (make sure it doesn’t bulk).
But be careful, this type of cardigan may look grannyish because they are not cool . Therefore, make sure to wear them with contemporary outfits that have the ideal amount of loose.
I likewise do not personally like this sub blogger pattern of belting them. as well traditional as well as frequently not well executed as the cardigan is as well tight as well as makes the belt look useless. (Sometimes it can work… however not often).
Eleonore Bridge looking incredibly cute with a thin as well as rather short cardigan. The technique of rolling the shirt’s sleeves over the cardigan makes the outfit look cool. (Ok she is showing the upper line of her tights, however hey, a little imperfection can happen). You might replace the jean shorts with cigarette pants or a mid tights skirt to make this look office proof.
B. The mid-lenght to long cardigan
Goes from hips lenght to mid-tights lenght. From thin to extremely chunky. In between is a great option if you hesitate.
This cardigan flatters every silhouette. If you are short, select them maximum mid tights.
I believe the best method is to wear them opened over the clothes as a awesome as well as warm layer. If you are curvy on top, open is the best option.
You can likewise close just a button or two.
Anyways great deals of cardigans do not even have buttons ^^
They always look great worn with tight bottoms to equilibrate the silhouette. No matter what your bodytype is.

Marion, one of my clients was wonderful to send me a pic of her looking fantastic in her shiny eco-friendly cardigan.
Sincerely Jules with a mini skirt.
Mini skirt in autumn (ok she lives in blogger autumn wonderland – where people never catch a chilly – with that T-shirt layer, however still, you can do this with someting warmer instead or add a scarf. Btw speaking of wonderbloggerland. I am trying to show a bit of myself on social medias. Getting in the game you understand … Anyway, to take this photo of myself sunday I gave my trench as well as huge black scarf to one of my buddy while the other was shooting me on our third friend’s extremely photogenic motorbike. I feel I comprehend bloggers better now ^^)
The styling dutchman. Bare legs go into the “tight bottom” category, even when the gown is flowy. since you get the contrast effect.
Thin or/and tall ladies can likewise try the risky flowy on flowy boho looking combo. (I said or, indicating a curvy as well as tall woman can pull it out successfully!).
Elisabeth on Inside closet. The print mix is likewise amazing.
Lots of the above pictures show the cardigan without layer (remember: bloggers wonderland). however in genuine life, you can of program add a coat on top of your cardigan which is on top of your shirt.

Or wear a sweater/jumper underneath.
Or add a scarf
Maddinka, looking cute . (She was one of my preferred bloggers as well as passed away this summer. very first I was not sure if I must publish this. as well as then I believed that was her task as well as that is what I loved her for. So I included her outfit in the post).
If you go for a mid lenght to long cardigan as well as have a defined waist, you can belt it to add structure while keeping you warm.

3. Play with the cardigan
The primary advantage of the cardigan is that it shows the layer underneath while half hidding it.
