Hasta La Ideas

If you were to send me off to a desert island and only allowed me to bring 5 pieces of clothing, one of those items would definitely be a cardigan. At any given moment you can find me wearing a cardigan while eating brunch with friends, running errands around town, or even going out dancing. It’s one of the most versatile pieces of clothing a person can have! It’s great in wintertime for some serious cold weather layering or wear it as a light jacket in the warmer months. There are lots of cardigan styles out there and while all of them would look good with jeans and a t-shirt (then again, what doesn’t look good with jeans?), some may look funny if you pair it with a dress. I know I’m not alone in loving cardigans. As the press is going wild over Michelle Obama and her clothing choices, one of her style signatures is a cardigan. Whether she’s wearing one over a sheath dress or slacks, she always manages to look fabulous. What’s her secret? It’s all about the proportions and how clothing falls on the curves of your body. That means you should always buy something that fits you and not the mannequin! Keep reading for a taste of our top 10 cardigan styles and how to wear them, and be sure to check out the slideshow for more ideas.
