25 + Ways to Style a Neutral Cardigan
This week’s basic capsule wardrobe feature was highly requested by many of you, it’s the neutral cardigan! A neutral, goes-with-everything cardigan is definitely an essential in my wardrobe. Today I am sharing 25+ ways you can style this wardrobe staple!
When shopping for cardigans, there are a few things I recommend considering before you buy. First, check the fabric content! Wardrobe staples should stand up to wear and washing in your closet. Many synthetic fabrics like polyester and rayon will begin to thin and pill after just one wash. My cream cardigans are all 100% cotton, but look for fabrics like modal, tencel, lyocell too! I have also found that open front, long line styles are a bit more versatile than the waist length, button front options. One last thing that may be personal preference, I like the sleeves of the cardigan to be slightly loose to allow for layering.
Here are some style ideas to get you started! Most of these outfits were featured in my fall and winter capsules, as well as randomly on my Instagram feed. Be sure to check out my Basic Capsule Wardrobe Starter Kit and How to Start a Capsule Wardrobe posts if you are looking to get acquainted with the capsule wardrobe process!
