Thursday Trend: Colorful Cardigans

04/18/13 | Fashion and Style, Thursday Trend

Cardigan (n): a usually collarless sweater or jacket that opens the full length of the center front
 

Why do I provide a Merriam-Webster definition?  Because the majority of my friends and readers seen to be confused when I say “add a cardigan to that look”.  This is not to say that options like a pull over sweater or a pashmina wrap are not great but for most outfits adding a cardigan is my favorite – such an amazing addition!   This photo was my inspiration, by Cameron Ingalls:

Bright cardigans are a great way to put a spring in your step even though we have not yet said a permanent adios to the winter weather.  If you are like me you want to pull out those warm-weather dresses but the chill of the early morning or an air conditioned subway car can stop you in your tracks.  These cardigans are great bright options to layer on your favorite options:

 
 One. Witchery    Two. Kai Aakmann    Three. Episode     Four. Orla Kiely      Five. Polo Jeans
Six.  Patagonia   Seven. Jack Willis       Eight. Madewell  Nine. Phase Eight    Ten. Closed
 
I cannot wait to style my favorite dresses with a colorful cardigan.
What color will you be adding this spring?

    Right here is the right site for everyone who really wants
    to understand this topic. You understand so much its almost tough
    to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
    You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic which has been discussed for years.
    Excellent stuff, just great!

    I love cardigans. Especially brightly colored ones! And I love the fact that I can wear them {in my regular size} even though I’m pregnant, because I don’t have to close them. Wardrobe staple.

    I don’t really cardigans that often–I feel like they make me look “dumpy” (don’t ask me why), but I love all the bright colors you chose here. There’s one for every day of the month!

    I *love* cardigans. I have a white one and a grey one. I’m a teacher, so they go with everything; and they are easy to throw on over sundresses. I love this idea of colored cardigans…I need to branch out from the white and the grey!
