Cardigans! What isn’t to love about cardigans? They’re versatile, you can easily layer them, they’re usually cozy as all hell, and there’s that killer 90’s pop band The Cardigans–remember this little number?

Whoa, this video isn’t 100% Suitable for work, oddly enough. What else is weird? This song is almost twenty years old…yeah, try not to think about it.
Anyway, Look for cardigans that aren’t cropped too short or too long, that’s usually the most flattering and classic way to go, it should hit right above your hips–this is especially good news for those of us *ahem* pear shaped ladies. Although, boyfriend cardigans can be equally beneficial, those are usually a bit longer, looser, and more casual than what I’m talking about here. If you’re concerned about your larger bust size raining on your parade opt for a V-shaped sweater that will make you look a bit slimmer, drawing eyes vertically instead of across your chest.
Spruce things up by adding a skinny belt around bellow your rib cage to cinch your waist in. Accessories like this can make your ensemble a tad less bland, and make your figure shine through what can sometimes be a bit of a boxy problem.
