How to style a knit cardigan: three easy looks

In short: wear a knit cardigan open over a midi dress, closed as a top with dark trousers, or belted as a light jacket replacement. Stick to one colour family and let the knit do the talking.

1. Open over a midi dress

The easiest look: a long open cardigan over a fluid dress. The vertical line lengthens your silhouette, and you can take it off when the room warms up.

2. Closed on dark trousers

A buttoned or collared cardigan wears like a fine sweater. Combine with dark trousers and a simple necklace — polished, comfortable, done.

3. Belted as a light jacket

A belted cardigan marks the waist and replaces a blazer on mild days. It looks deliberate rather than casual.

Colour advice

Neutrals — cream, brown, navy — combine with everything. A striped or floral knit is the statement piece: keep the rest plain. See our cardigan collection for the current models.
