Cardigans are meant to look undone, casual, and carefree so it can be a little challenging sometimes to figure out how to style it and still look fashionable. This article of clothing will never go out of style because it is a fashion basic. I am sharing a few ideas that I have for styling a cardigan so you not only feel great, but look put together and cute!

Over a dress

This is a classic way to style a cardigan. Throw the cardigan on over a dress and it instantly creates a laid back yet put together look. This is a look that is casual and easy to put together. I think it looks cute and and would be perfect for home date nights, running errands, or meeting a friend for coffee. This look is super cute with pointy toe mules or heels because both elongate your legs and make you look taller!

With Jeans

One of the easiest and most basic ways to incorporate a cardigan into your look is to throw it on with jeans. Cardigans are so fun because they can be styled with any kind of top! I think cardigans look super cute when paired with jeans and a solid colored top or a graphic tee. Adding a cardigan over a tee is the perfect way to stay cozy and look cute but casual. This outfit is perfect for running errands or meeting a friend for lunch! It is comfortable yet fashionable which is the perfect combination!!

Leggings and Sneakers

For the comfiest and coziest outfit ever all you need to do is pair some leggings and a cardigan. I think this look is the perfect way to feel like you are still in pajamas while looking put together and cute. This look can be dressed up a little more by wearing leather leggings, or can be casual cute with a graphic tee. This is a look that cannot be done wrong and will make you feel great while being comfortable. This is the perfect work from home look!!

Tucked Into Pants

This is probably the trendiest way to wear a cardigan. The key is to find a cardigan with cute button details that isn't too long to be tucked in. This is a modern look that feels completely put together. The beauty of a tucked in cardigan, is that it makes your waist look smaller and your legs look longer! This is a chic yet still super casual look that could be worn for work, date night, or errands. This style creates the perfect balance and looks really trendy!

Over a Turtleneck

This is the perfect winter look! Layering a turtleneck is the perfect way to create dimension in an outfit while staying warm! A turtleneck is wonderful layering piece because it makes your torso look longer by adding more visual balance around your neck. The tighter fit turtleneck paired with the baggier and oversized cardigan is a great combination. This look is not only comfortable and cute, but looks laid back. You could wear this combination for a casual stroll outside or ice skating, or any other winter activity and look great while keeping warm!!
