Pin-Up Perfection

I've loved cardigans throughout their many phases in the past few years from the bolero cardigan, the boyfriend cardigan, and even the cardigan dress. But my favorite is by far the classic cardigan. One that is fitted and lands at the natural waist makes a flattering silhouette on almost anyone, especially when paired with tailored capris or a knee length pencil skirt. Add a little detail like beading, applique, or embroidery and it polishes off the look. They should always be worn buttoned and worn in lieu of a shirt for an added touch of style. It may seem silly but there is nothing more perfect than a classic detailed cardigan.
