The days when wearing a cardigan was considered a sign of old-fashionedness and "grandmother's" taste are over. Now it is again a fashionable and stylish thing that every woman must have in her wardrobe. What is it interesting to combine with? We look at photos from stylists and fashion bloggers.
The word "cardigan" comes from the English "cardigan" and is a kind of sweater. A jacket - a woolen garment, in turn, has been known to be worn since the 13th century. The word "kofta" came to us from the Polish language, and in Polish from the Swedish "kofta", which was brought from the Turkish "kaftan".
The main difference between the cardigan and other varieties such as sweaters or sweatshirts is a kind of "V" neckline, the absence of a collar, and the presence of patch pockets.
Who suits
A cardigan is a basic item in a wardrobe and will suit absolutely everyone! Regardless of height, weight, body proportions and age. This thing will help to make imperceptible flaws in the figure and, if necessary, highlight the advantages. With it, you can make any image more interesting for a variety of events and everyday life.
Short cardigan
For example, a short-length cardigan can replace jackets and is suitable for office work, if the office dress code does not have any strict restrictions in terms of the choice of clothes. The cardigan can be used over a shirt, blouse, top and other items. And if it is of a bright shade, it will help to diversify the boring combination of "white up - black bottom", as well as the dullness of everyday life.
Long cardigan
The most acceptable and fashionable is a long cardigan. If you choose a basic cardigan for all occasions, then rich colors and a shortened length will not work. For “not flashy” looks, you should choose neutral, muted shades. For example, such as: beige, blue, gray and others. Or black, an undeniable classic.
In addition, an elongated model, rather than a short one, is more versatile in terms of combinations and comfort. A long cardigan will perfectly fit into casual looks, in addition to shorts, jeans or mini skirts. And in business combinations with trousers, long strict skirts, closed dresses, white shirts or blouses.
Oversized cardigan
The contrast will also look interesting. oversized chunky cardigan with light things in linen style. Tops with thin spaghetti straps, short little dresses, pajamas suits made of flowing fabric, complete with a massive cape will look very interesting, show the fragility of the girl and her femininity.
As stylist Victoria Solovieva says: "The cardigan is able to put an end to the image and emphasize the individuality of its owner!" Wear it with pleasure.
