How to style your cardigan for different occasions

 Cardigans are so versatile when it comes to design and fit that you can pair them with anything. From creating a casual, breezy, and easygoing look to a more fitted, chic and professional attire, cardigans are your go-to wardrobe piece. All you need to know is how to pair it with the right pieces to create a head-turner fashion statement. 

Styling your cardigan on four different occasions

Depending on whether you are heading out for a casual walk down the streets or a formal party, you can style your men’s cardigans or women’s cardigans in multiple ways. Let us go through some of these styling techniques: 

1.     Casual occasions

Cardigans have a flowy, easygoing structure that makes them the best option for casual occasions. You can buy a cardigan that fits your style and seamlessly blends into your wardrobe. Buy classics like a black, white or any neutral shade cardigan and pair it with a T-shirt, jeans or chinos to ace an easy, casual look. We have women's cardigans in almost every fit and style to suit your styling sense.

2.     Semi-formal occasions

Want to head to your office party where the dress code is "smart casual"? We have got you covered! Cardigans are also an excellent choice to nail that semi-formal or smart casual style. Pair a fitted cardigan with a button-up shirt, a pair of smart trousers, and dress shoes and enjoy your "Runway fashion moment." But make sure to keep the colour palette as neutral, basic and clean as possible for a polished appearance.

3.     Formal occasions

A cardigan apparently might not seem to be the perfect piece to create a formal look, but you can still make it work if you know the styling technique. Just replace the vest or waistcoat in your three-piece suit with a fitted button-up cardigan. When you have to look smart and dressed up for a business meeting or any other formal occasion during the winter, this cosy yet chic look comes in handy.

4.     Business casual occasions

Cardigans can also make an amazing piece for your "work wardrobe". Replace your blazer with a well-fitted cardigan in a neutral or classic shade for days when you are in the mood to wear something more relaxed yet appropriate for the workplace. Pair it with an oxford shirt, trousers or chinos, and a tie to create a formal yet easygoing look. To add a casual vibe to the look, replace your traditional lace-up shoes with loafers. 

What is suitable to wear under a cardigan?

You can create a look that oozes style with your cardigan only if you pair it with the right pieces underneath. When unsure, always go for basics like a turtleneck, a crew neck button-up shirt or a t-shirt. Ensure that the outfit you are wearing underneath your cardigan is a lighter shade than the cardigan.
