How to Style a Cardigan this Autumn

Oh how the humble cardigan has seen a rise in lust appeal this season! As we all default back to the trusty, cosy pieces in our wardrobe as lockdown in the Autumn months looms, the cardigan suddenly seems like the most appealing knitwear piece in our wardrobe. As well as leaning on my ‘old faithful’ snuggle cardigans from years gone by, one or two new ones have also slipped into my collection, including this dusky pink beauty from MAX MARA. Oh yes, I invested in this piece – big time – any budget I previously put away for heels or handbags (ok, I’m still lusting over bags) has firmly been reallocated to cosy pieces, and this season the cardigan was calling.

Of course, styled over jeans is classic, but if you have a more feminine style like myself, worn over a skirt and pinched in with a belt (oh how I adore my Gucci horse bit belt!) to show off your silhouette – now this is a chic way of styling a cardigan! What I love most about this look is the serious comfort level when worn, and yet finish off with a pair of stylish sunnies, a fabulous bag and some heeled boots (mine are quite old Chloe but you can get flat versions on NET-A-PORTER) and you’ve got yourself a comfortable but FABULOUS outfit.
