A cardigan is a timeless piece that should not be missing from any wardrobe. It is not only practical, but also very versatile - you can easily match it with different outfits and adapt it to different occasions. Don't be afraid to be original and find interesting ways to wear it! We have tips for you on how to wear cardigans with a belt and with buttons, and what to combine them with.
Belted cardigan: Elegance and casualness
A belted cardigan, like our Nihon cardigan or Divine cardigan , adds a beautiful shape to your silhouette and accentuates your waist. You can wear it in several ways:
- With a dress – A belted cardigan over a light dress is the perfect combination for the transitional season. It will add elegance to your outfit while keeping you warm.
- With high-waisted pants – This type of cardigan goes great with high-waisted pants or jeans, creating a modern and balanced look.
- With a skirt – The combination of a cardigan with a belt and a skirt creates an elegant and feminine look. Don't be afraid to wear the Nihon cardigan on your bare body! Your look will look fabulous!
3 ways to tie a cashmere belt:
- Wrap multiple times – You can wrap the belt twice around your waist to create a tighter silhouette.
- Tie at the back – If you want a looser look, you can just pull the belt slightly at the back so that it holds its shape but doesn't hug your entire waist .
- Tie loosely or don't wear it at all – A loose tie will add a casual style to your outfit, or you can wear the cardigan without a belt.
A cardigan with a belt can be perfectly combined with a skirt, dress, pants or shorts, depending on the style you want to create.
Button Cardigan: A Universal Classic
Button-down cardigans are very versatile. You can wear them open for a relaxed look or buttoned up for a more elegant look.
- As a sweater – A buttoned cardigan can be worn on its own instead of a sweater. It goes well with skirts and trousers and creates a soft, feminine look.
- Over a T-shirt or turtleneck – If you want to create a layered outfit, wear a simple T-shirt or thin turtleneck under your cardigan. It also looks great when combined with cashmere accessories.
- Over a shirt – A cardigan buttoned over a shirt creates an elegant and sophisticated look, ideal for work or more formal occasions.
A button-down cardigan can be worn in several ways:
- Unbuttoned – Great for layering outfits.
- Bare-chested, buttoned up – It looks sophisticated and elegant, and you'll feel the softness of cashmere right on your skin. Our classic cashmere cardigan is perfect for this look.
- Half-unbuttoned and tucked into pants – Asymmetrical wearing will give the outfit a modern twist.
What accessories to wear with a cardigan?
