A knitted sweater without a collar, hiding under the name “cardigan,” has become extremely popular recently. This is not surprising, given all its advantages. Simplicity, convenience and versatility have made this item of clothing almost vital in the wardrobe of every fashionista. Recently, options without buttons and fasteners have become especially popular.
What to combine with
Wearing a women's cardigan without a fastener is not difficult - the main thing is to choose the right style and color of the outfit to match the jacket, as well as related accessories. It suits women of any age and figure, and also comes in many shapes and colors. From warm knitted models in neutral colors to synthetic lightweight ones in bright colors, the variety will make it easy to put together a cohesive and stylish look.
Knitted cardigan
Short
A knitted cardigan is one of the most versatile items in a woman’s wardrobe. This item of clothing can be used in many looks:
- As an element of office or business style.
- Dressed for walking and relaxing.
- As part of a date outfit.
- In a casual casual style.
The tight-fitting style with a tight knit is ideal for skinny trousers or a simple skirt, and will look good with a tank top or T-shirt. The loose cut is suitable for ladies with any figure and will look organic with almost any clothing (photo).
In the office it will go well with a pencil skirt, a blouse-shirt and pumps. For a walk, there's no better option than skinny jeans with a simple plain T-shirt. And for a date, a good combination would be an a-line dress and heeled boots.
ATTENTION! Knitted cardigans should never be worn with other knitted items, especially with dresses. This combination creates an overloaded image that is poorly perceived by the eye. If there is no choice, it is better to focus on things that are noticeably different in the type of knitting.
Long
The elongated version of the sweater is perfect for ladies who want to look slimmer with their clothes. It not only goes with almost any thing, but also frames the figure, which visually elongates it, making it more slender.
However there is a couple of rules to follow when wearing:
- The bottom must be tight-fitting.
- Maxi skirts and dresses are prohibited.
- Shoes with heels are preferable to any other.
You should also not forget about accessories that can highlight your look. In the case of a long cardigan or an oversized style, a wide belt will come in handy. It will not only emphasize the figure, bringing the silhouette closer to the hourglass, but will also create the right emphasis on the décolleté area. For the same reason, appropriate jewelry will not be superfluous.
In addition to belts, scarves or snoods will also be excellent accessories if the jacket is worn as a coat.Bracelets can also be a good addition, but wide and loose options will look best.
Colorful plain cardigans without buttons
Among all the colors, the most popular are ordinary plain things. Patterns and colorful colors definitely add charm to things, but at the same time create a narrower scope of application. Whereas monochrome cardigans will be much more versatile.
When choosing a single-color sweater, it is only important to choose the right colors of the accompanying items. So, jewelry, along with stockings or tights, should, if possible, be close in color to the cardigan. But it’s better to put off shoes of similar bright colors.
ATTENTION! Always remember that an image cannot consist solely of one color. If you don’t choose things of other shades or dilute the range with other colors, the image will turn out heavy and cloying.
Grey
Right after classic black, one of the most popular colors is gray. Like its dark brother, it will fit perfectly into both a strict business or office style and a simple everyday look. In itself, such a thing will be neutral, so the rest of the clothes will convey the idea.
A sheath dress, as well as a pencil skirt and a simple light-colored shirt are best suited for such a jacket. The ideal range would be monochrome cool colors or calm pastel shades. Too bright colors definitely won’t do any good, except maybe red or yellow.
Black
Black color is the uncompromising leader among all its brothers. It allows you to create a sophisticated, elegant and strict style, but it certainly cannot be called cheerful.Most often, black cardigans are used as a replacement for a jacket or coat and become frequent guests in office looks.
Black will always look good with shirts, jeans and skirts. The color scheme is usually restrained, monochrome, and often contains blue elements. Vests, silk tops and jumpers are definitely your choice. But if you want to experiment, you can try adding bright colors. An elegant red dress might work well.
Beige
In general, any thing will look good with a beige sweater, the main thing is that it is in this color scheme:
- Brown-beige.
- Gray tones.
- White and milky shades.
Bright colors will simply cover up the presence of a beige cardigan. But one of the best combinations can be a dress with a print of not too flashy shades.
Beige clothing is certainly a beautiful thing, but you need to handle it with care. If you choose the wrong shade, your skin will look pale against its background. In addition, all facial flaws will be well emphasized. Therefore, along with a beige cardigan, it is recommended to wear a scarf or scarf that matches your skin color.
Pink
If you want to add tenderness and romance to your look, a pink cardigan is created especially for you. Light pastel shades will help create a feeling of fragility and sophistication, while bright colors attract attention and support a defiant image.
It is important to understand that such colors rarely have a place in formal business attire. The only exceptions are those that are close to neutral tones like gray. The main area of application is walking, dating and everyday life. Therefore, jeans, T-shirts and tank tops, and simple dresses are perfect for such a thing.
White
Like any other white clothing, white sweaters are contraindicated for girls with extra pounds, as they emphasize the figure. Other fashionistas can easily show off such an acquisition, because wearing it is as easy as the gray or black version.
Black and white – a classic and undeniably stylish solution. A short black dress for a date, T-shirts with jeans for a walk, a black shirt and trousers for the office - a white cardigan will come in handy everywhere. If you want something bright, yellow goes well with white.
Blue
Blue cardigans are an ideal option for those ladies who are tired of fade and restraint. Blue will fit well into both casual and office style, without losing its brightness. Different tones can be combined with almost any color.
Blue jeans are the undisputed leader in terms of compatibility this time; it’s just important not to overdo it with elements of similar colors. For voluminous and knitted models, tight fitting items, such as skinny jeans, are ideal, and for short knitted ones, a loose bottom, such as breeches or trousers.
Green
Green shades, according to psychologists, create the image of a decisive, balanced person, and are also associated with freshness and novelty. Combinations with light clothing elements create an energetic and decisive image, while dark tones inspire confidence.
The best combinations with a green cardigan would be:
- One-color emerald dress.
- Sundress with floral print.
- Skirts and tops in cool shades.
- Classic blue jeans.
