As un-stylish you may think that a cardigan is, it's a staple. You absolutely need one in your closet. Sure, they're super-convinient when it's cold outside, but not full-on coat weather, but they can also be surprisingly fashionable. Plus, you can wear them with almost anything. Wear it with slouchy boyfriend jeans and a faded Tee to give off a cool, casual feel. Wear it with sequin shorts and chunky heels to dress it up and still be cozy. It works because it's not as intense as a rough leather jacket or as posh as a peacoat. Also, mix it with another on-trend object. Try a forest-green cardi with rich brown riding boots for a subtly stylish feel. There are so many styles too: oversized, shrunken, sequined, embroidered. They make one for every taste (even if you usually go for the leather and black, AllSaints makes a hardcore version while still keeping the comfortable look). So, stay warm this winter with a classic cardigan.*
