Long, short, with or without sleeves:which cardigan for which occasion?

A feminine waistcoat for a perfect dinner

The most glamorous of vests lives up to its name perfectly. The wrap cardigan crosses at the chest and wraps at the waist, emphasizing the décolleté with a V-neckline. To wear it, play on the layers and adapt it to the occasion, as well as your morphology.

A dark-colored wrap cardigan, worn over a half-open shirt and tone-on-tone skinny jeans, reinvents the suit in an elegant version for a professional dinner. A colorful cardigan rolled up over a longer T-shirt and simple jeans ensures relaxed femininity for a dinner at home, while a short wrap-over top over a fitted dress dares the sexy silhouette for a dinner for two!

A trendy vest for a shopping day

The champion of the genre is also one of the most comfortable:the masculine cardigan, loose and soft, makes an irresistible breakthrough in women's fashion. Choose it flexible and of good quality, to compensate for its quirky appearance.

If you like contemporary but feminine silhouettes, wear your cardigan open over skinny jeans, with beautiful leather ankle boots and a matching T-shirt or sweater, depending on the weather. Fashion doesn't scare you? Dare to wear an oversized masculine cardigan, in a total look with worn boyfriend denim and a checked shirt!

A casual cardigan for a cocooning weekend

It keeps you warm, it's comfortable and, above all, timeless... The folk or ethnic cardigan is the best friend for weekends, evenings with friends or winter holidays! Dare to wear large long cardigans in thick knit, mottled, colorful, with fringes or jacquard patterns. Pair them with ripped denim and a plain sweater, turtleneck or T-shirt, depending on the pattern.

The more the vest catches the eye, the more neutral the silhouette that accompanies it must be. Add a pair of unlaced boots with thick socks or furry ankle boots. In the evening, replace the jeans with a folk dress, fashion effect and comfort guaranteed!

A contemporary vest for a day at the office

Unless there is a strict dress code, why not replace the traditional suit jacket with a graphic waistcoat? Available in dense fabric-like woollens, cardigans now offer clean, modern and refined cuts.

The ideal ally for skinny jeans ensures a trendy look, simply slipped over a shirt and high-waisted pants, or a fitted V-neck sweater with cigarette pants. Add a pair of pumps or ankle boots, voila… Even better? When it's time to go out, transform the cardigan into a coat and belt it, or try the long sleeveless cardigan for the more daring!

A retro vest for an evening with friends

A figure of the 1950s, the fitted cardigan, short and with a round neck, goes perfectly with the pleated skirt, star of the season. Choose it adjusted without being too tight, and wear it buttoned on a high-waisted skirt. More modern ? Slip it over a masculine shirt and make the collar stand out. Dare the total look with patent leather pumps, or bet on a sharp style with derbies!
