If you are trying to update your wardrobe into something fresh and stylish, you may be need to know how to wear a sleeveless cardigan. Cardigans are not just for Mr. Rogers anymore and you can wear them in a way that give you a dressy/casual feel. There are a few things you need to know about wearing a sleeveless cardigan so that you can turn this item into a staple of your wardrobe.

  1. Wear the sleeveless cardigan over a plain T-shirt. This will help you to dress down the cardigan. If your cardigan has a pattern, the T-shirt should be a solid, complementary color. However, if the cardigan is plain, you can wear a graphic T-shirt underneath without the outfit looking too crowded.
  2. Pair it with blue jeans. You can't pair a sleeveless cardigan with just any old jeans. Your jeans should be dark washed and fit you properly. They should also be in good shape. If you wear your cardigan with ripped up jeans, you will just end up looking sloppy.
  3. Dress it up with a button up. The button up shirt should have a collar and should be short sleeved. Usually, solid shirts work best with this technique. You can choose a neutral colored shirt or simply a color that works well with your sleeveless cardigan.

By using these tips, you can easily dress your cardigan up or down and be comfortable wearing it in just about any environment. Remember to make sure that the cardigan fits correctly and be careful not to stretch it when you take it out of the washing machine.
