A Collared Cardigan + Trousers
An easy way to refresh the feel of a cardigan is by choosing a collared version and layered over a long-sleeve polo shirt. This look achieves a blend of casual sophistication and professional sharpness. The outfit’s high-waisted pleated trousers add a classic menswear touch. A pair of brown leather loafers complete the ensemble. This style is ideal for high-profile meetings or refined social gatherings.

Striped Cardigans + Jeans
Two is better than one. Choose cardigans in complementary tones and distinct lengths with a neatly buttoned down or cropped version under an open, more relaxed cardigan. To finish the look, pair it with mid-wash denim, especially wide-leg jeans and an elongated belt for a hint of drama. This layered approach elevates the classic cardigan while showing off your knack for proportion and texture play.
