Look Smart

Cardigans are not just for Mr. Rogers or prep school kids. This season, preppy, academic inspired cardigans are for everyone (even men!).

Cardigans are great for this transitional time of year when you don't need a jacket or coat, but they are also good in the winter as an extra layer.

No need to look frumpy when wearing a cardigan. Look for fitted cardigans that are not too boxy. If you go with a long cardigan, try a skinny belt on top.

This versatile item can be worn with denim, pants, leggings, skirts and even dresses. Wear it during the day to work, running errands, shopping, hanging out with friends and at night to dinner, a date or out! Make your look edgier with accessories, like motorcycle boots or spiked jewelry. Play with contrasting and complementary colors for added interest. To avoid looking matronly, avoid overly matchy pieces, pearls and pastels.

There are many chic cardigans available, but right now the academic, prep school cardigan is the it piece.
