Cardigan sweaters are ideal for winter and other cooler seasons. It can be used for both formal and informal events. You can also style it from preppy to an edgy look using the appropriate accessories. Here are a few tips for styling your cardigan sweaters:
Use a belt
A great way to change any dress style is to use a belt. The belt should be placed at the smallest part of your waist to create that sexy figure eight shape.
Ditch buttons
Buy a soft cardigan without buttons or fasteners. The open design gives it an easy look and creates sharp vertical lines to give you a thinner and taller appearance. You can pair it up with a bow blouse to create a feminine effect.
Add some color
Using a brightly colored cardigan can change the outlook. Go for grass green, cobalt, yellow or hot pink to create a different look.
Layer up
Wear a tee shirt under the cardigan to give it balance. It keeps the cardigan from looking frumpy and boxy.
Make it dramatic
You can make a basic cardigan more dramatic by accessorizing. Go with bold necklaces, brightly colored purses, a cuff or large earrings.
Use a camisole
For a sexier look, button up your cardigan and use a camisole inside. You can also opt for a light cardigan and wear it like a shirt.
