Working on college campus I often see what is the cutting edge of fashion. The latest shoes, hard denim, military jackets,etc. However the current most valued item is the cardigan. Classic in approach and pretty much compliments everything. I have been a cardigan wearer since I was 12 my grandfather a prominent Tulsa minster wore them daily around the house during the fall months to "break the chill in the air" and since that was my role model I happily followed suit. In the cardigans latest arrival it has been used in everything for the british retro punk look to cleaning up your favorite rapper's favorite rapper. However please keep in mind that there are "rules" (always use that term losely in fashion) to this.
1. Fit- please do not oversize your cardigan- this is classic piece of fashion keep it that way
2.Quality- If you are going the classic look try to buy the best you can ( Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, etc) If money is an issue (after all we are in a recession) then try gap, old navy, banana republic, JC penny's
3. Color- Make sure your colors match the seasons, besides black and gray just about every other color have a season
Darker colors -Winter/Fall
Light colors- Summer/Spring
Allthough the cardigan may be the featured sweater for the year the V-neck sweater vest is great addition along with v-neck long sleeve mock turtle neck (with sports jacket)and half zip sweater(try a button down shirt even a tie). These are all great investments to upgrade your wardrobe.
