Cardigans for women: classic, original and elegant

Timeless, especially between seasons, it will add a casual touch to your look. The women’s cardigan in wool or cashmere combines comfort and practicality to become a basic of the female wardrobe. Much less formal in style, it creates a decidedly casual and friendly look while remaining elegant and chic.

How should you wear a women’s cardigan?

Essential garment in winter and autumn, it fits in with all your tastes and desires and enhances your style. The buttoned cardigan can be worn over a rollneck jumper or a shirt. When unbuttoned, it allows you to show off your blouse. While knitted cardigans go well with trousers and jeans, they also add a very trendy touch when combined with a midi skirt in a plain colour. If the weather allows, you can even opt for a sleeveless women’s cardigan over a long-sleeved or short-sleeved T-shirt. Loose fitting styles or cable knit cardigans lend themselves easily to layering, allowing you to subtly add garments to add dimension to your look. As regards colour, classics such as the women’s black cardigan offer the advantage of going with anything. However, opt for bold and bright colours and prints to break out of your mould and create a more cheerful look. So, you can give free rein to your imagination, and explore contrasts of dark and light colours. Finally, feel free to wear accessories like a leather belt or a scarf to add even more charm to your look.

How to choose the right women’s cardigan to match your body type?

To look your best, the choice should be based on your body type. Afibel’s plus size cardigans are also available up to size 34. Opt for styles with loose sleeves such as those with kimono sleeves which are particularly comfortable. If, on the contrary, you are rather slim, a fitted style will allow you to show off your figure. The women’s chunky cardigan, on the other hand, will subtly conceal your figure. There is an infallible tip for choosing a style to suit your size: experiment with the length of the jumper. The women’s close-fitting short cardigan will show off your legs, slim your figure and suit you perfectly if you are rather short. If you are tall, you can opt for a long women’s cardigan to reduce your height.

Whether it is a buttoned or zipped cardigan, V-neck or knitted, it is a key part of the female wardrobe. Far from being outdated, it is constantly being updated by stylists, in order to change its reputation as a reliable standby and make it today into one of the key pieces of a trendy look.
