All—and I Mean All—the Cool Girls Are Wearing This Knitwear Style for Winter
If there's one fashion item taking up the most space in both my brain and closet right now, it's probably cardigans. Sure, it was a close call with black boots, but I think the knitwear won! After all, I can get away with wearing the same shoes every day, but when it comes to my tops, I like to switch it up a bit more. Admittedly, I'm also infatuated with the comfy-chic piece this season. Of course, I'm not the only one.
It seems the entire fashion set has cardi fever, and as someone with classic style who still likes to look cool every once in a while, I couldn't be more pleased. Whether you style it with a skirt, jeans, trousers, or all of the above on rotation, you just can't go wrong with a cardigan this fall and winter. To prove it, I've rounded up 10 outfits from my screenshot folder to serve as your inspo for the purchase you're inevitably going to make by the time you scroll to the end of this story. Ready to get started? Simply keep going!
From the exposed tee to the miniskirt to the Chanel Classic Flap, this look is so up my alley.
Leave it to the French to style red in the chicest way.
This is one of those intricately styled outfits I never could have come up with myself but will most definitely be copying.
