One layer you can rely on

Choose a cardigan with an opaque knit and enough room to wear over a shirt. Navy pairs easily with cream, denim and brown, so there is room to repeat it through the week.

Three ways to wear it

  1. For work: a cream button-down, tailored wide-leg trousers and loafers.
  2. For a weekend walk: a long cotton tee, straight-leg denim and comfortable trainers.
  3. For dinner: a flowing midi or maxi skirt, a simple top and a polished flat.

Make the proportions yours

Wear the cardigan open for a longer line or fasten a few buttons for shape. If the knit is shorter than you prefer, add a longer base layer. Comfort and coverage should suit you.
