I recently bought some new cardigans to add to my wardrobe for winter.
On a few cool days last week, I was wishing for a thick knit to snuggle into.
But thick knits don’t get much of a wear in a Brisbane winter. I tend to stick with jackets and cardigans which can be layered on and off as the temperature changes throughout the day.
And so, instead of looking for jumpers, I started to look for a few more cardigans to layer over my Gorman t-shirts.
I tend to buy block colour knit cardigans because they go well with patterned tops I already own.
Here are a few of the patterned cardigans I came across in my online search.
1. Katies Long Sleeve Textured Block Cardigan $30 (on sale)
2. Gorman Oscar Cardigan $159.20 (on sale)
3. Katies Block Cardigan $40 (on sale)
4. Elm In Transit Cardi $119
5. Gordon Smith Colour Block Cardi $109
6. Gorman Tetris Effect Cardigan $119.20
I found Dotti to be the best value for money for cardigans and their sale was too hard to refuse. I went into store and was surprised at how roomy these cardigans were. They are an oversized, oversized fit. I walked away with a medium, but I could have got a small.
Dotti cardigans I tried in store (currently on sale) Dotti Lover Cardigan in Seafoam $41.96, Dotti Pia Cardigan in Mustard and Red $41.96
I purchased a red and mustard cardigan in the same style, as I knew it would work with many tops in my wardrobe. I also know from experience, mustard is a fast seller.
Some reasons why I love cardigans:
• They can be layered on and off throughout winter
• They are a trans-seasonal knit
• Can work with jeans and top, skirt and top or dress outfits.
• You can have a few to create different outfits, with the same base outfit underneath
• Can layer with a scarf easily
• Can cover your bum and keep it warm
Are you a fan of the cardigan? Or do you prefer jumpers instead?
