The (boyfriend) Cardigan


Over the last few years the boyfriend cardigan has calmly taken its position as the ultimate go to cover up, that can be relied on to solve an endless array of outfit dilemmas. Now the boyfriend cardigan has graduated from sly menswear department dash (or boyfriend's bedroom rummage) to fully fledged wardrobe staple, with the high street offering hundreds of styles to choose from in the sizes, fabrics and colors girls want to wear. 



I am obsessed with boyfriend cardigans, in part because I have my frozen days at times and if I don't wear wintery clothing my allergy will surface. These extra long sweaters cover my lower back and keep me warm. They're also fashion-y and a more grownup alternative to all the hoodies I wore during my college days. Beyond that, they are sold everywhere which means you can score them at very reasonable prices, and they are incredibly versatile so you'll get plenty of wear out of them. And that makes them a great value.


I know! Right! ;)
