Over the past few months, I realised that I have been reaching for the humble cardigan more and more. It’s almost overtaking the cashmere crew-neck in comfort and ease. I love how cosy they are for this time of year, but also love how they can make your spring t-shirts a hero again, and not just relegated to the ‘spring’ section of the loft. I borrowed the one above whilst in Paris and found it to be the perfect cover-up for something a little bit fancy, yet still feeling undone.

And what happened to the grey cardigan in the top right pic? Well, I accidentally shrunk it in the washing machine in a bit of a rush. It was one of my faves and lesson totally learnt. I missed it so much so that I had to buy a new one (via And Other Stories here) and have already read the care instructions (hand wash only) so as not to make the same mistake again.

To keep the cardigan chic, the key is to go for a longer-line version, pockets are a must and the chunkier the better. Also, try to keep the layers underneath cool, light and even a little bit sexy – try a logo tee or a silk vest and jeans…

There is something SO cozy about the cardigan – it make you feel cozy in that really chic “I don’t need to say it but I am so cool” kind of way! You know what I mean? I’m sure you do cause you have got the look down!

I’ve literally just trawled asos for a cosy grey one before seeing your post! Perfect for being pregnant too when nothing else fits! Brilliant post as always!
I hope I have! Love the warm but not quite a formal coat kind of look! x
Glad I could be of help! xx
I have a very long, over sized cardigan by H&M and I live in there 🙂

I think the longer the better! The And Other Stories one is super long which felt weird at first but I’m loving it x
I love a good cardi xx
