Knitted ideas and sets

Knitted models are clearly in favor, so it’s time to find out what to wear with a knitted women’s cardigan:

  • Since clothes knitted from wool are distinguished by volume, you can balance it with tight-fitting things that fit tightly on the figure, and the best choice for this is a classic sheath dress in midi or mini length. Such a set is suitable for the office and for every day, for special occasions and relaxation, especially if you complement it with spectacular jewelry and high-heeled shoes.
  • For work, study and leisure, a dress in the English style is useful. It is well combined with a medium length cardigan, both small and large knit. A great mix – a dark dress and a jacket in a contrasting light color. Models with buttons and without are suitable.
  • An A-line dress is another idea for an elegant outfit. Complete it with high-heeled shoes or ankle boots and a stylish leather handbag, hat and glasses.
  • High-waisted jeans look great with knitwear – plain or torn.
  • Skinny jeans will perfectly balance the top volume and make the silhouette slimmer.
  • A pencil skirt and a classic-cut blouse or a long-sleeved shirt is an option for a business setting.

If we talk about what to wear with a button-down cardigan, any ideas are acceptable here: jeans, trousers, skirts, but a tight-fitting top is desirable, so opt for turtlenecks and bodysuits, or basic tops and t-shirts. 

Separately, let’s talk about large-knit models – in a shortened version, they act as an alternative to a jacket, so the same combinations work here. It can be short or midi skirts of a straight and wide style, skinny jeans, straight trousers or a palazzo that is relevant this season, leggings, a leather mini skirt or a dress.

Experimenting with an oversized silhouette

The oversized silhouette requires appropriate combinations to look stylish and organic and not spoil the figure. What to wear with an oversized cardigan depends on the occasion and the intended image, as well as the preferred style of clothing:

  • skinny trousers or boyfriend jeans;
  • over a tight-fitting T-shirt or tank top;
  • leggings or skinny jeans;
  • short sheath dress in classic or bright colors;
  • turtleneck paired with a pencil skirt in neutral shades;
  • flat shoes, mid-heeled ankle boots or suede boots;
  • a knitted cardigan can be worn instead of a jacket and blazer, completing their office look;
  • classic cut trousers + light turtleneck and metal decorations on the neck.

When choosing what to wear with a voluminous cardigan with embossed textured patterns and coarse knitting, use basic tank tops and linen-style tops, thin silk blouses or knitted mini dresses.

Fashion ideas for cropped models

Since cropped styles have hit the catwalks this season, the question of what to wear with a short cardigan is very timely.

To harmoniously complement the cropped silhouette and emphasize the waistline, solid-colored high-waisted trousers or shorts with tight tights will help.

If the figure and the weather allow, you can wear a jacket on a naked body – this is an option for a club, parties and informal outings. Sweatshirts with an asymmetrical cut and button-downs are especially popular. We leave a few buttons unbuttoned, complement the image with a short miniskirt or jeans, massive jewelry, and get a spectacular bow.

A top and a short sweater are the perfect pair if they are in the same color palette. By the way, it is quite acceptable to wear a short jacket tucked into trousers or a skirt.

To create a casual look with a short cardigan, complete your wardrobe with dress pants, straight-leg wide jeans or a sheath dress, adding high-heeled shoes to them. A thin strap is useful over the jacket, which acts as an elegant accessory.

Stylish color combinations

In a fashionable dilemma with what a woman can wear a cardigan, color plays an important role. And there are different options here:

  • black models are the most versatile, they look especially impressive with contrasting blouses and shirts, mixes with blue and gray are optimal for an office bow, blue and graphite items will add grace to the set, and trousers or jeans in white, milky and other light colors will make the image gentle and feminine;
  • beige and sand sweaters – a stylish addition to a casual look with ripped jeans and heavy boots in a military style or a neutral bow with classic skirts and trousers;
  • ideas of what to wear with a white cardigan are limited only by your taste, it can be a traditional pair of a white blouse + black trousers, a bodycon dress in bright colors, or leather pants / skirt;
  • the nobility of a gray cardigan is emphasized by white silk blouses or light cotton shirts, black woolen trousers, a gray sheath dress several shades lighter than a sweater.

As for how to wear a cardigan with a shirt or dress, the following options are possible here: buttoned with one or two buttons, with a thin strap or belt over a sweater, fully buttoned, with a brooch-like clasp.

Long, knee-length, mid-calf, or floor-length cardigans look best with short dresses and loose-fitting shirts over skinny jeans and trousers. The main thing is that the shirts should be with a minimum of decor, without stripes, pockets and decorations.
