How to use a navy cardigan

1. To dress down a suit

Dress down your suit with a simple cardigan

After a long day in the office I love having a cardigan always handy hanging in my car because I know i can always use it in place of my suit jacket to dress down my outfit and get comfortable.

2. On top of a dress shirt

My go to sweater for the weather here in Newport Beach, Ca area as the temperatures usually are around 65-75 degrees so I like the fact that allow for more of my shirt to show, also I like to unbutton my top two buttons so this wouldn’t be possible with a crew neck seater.

3. On top of a t-shirt

Lastly, to run out the door and grab a quick item to cover you on your way to the movies or a quick errand. I am not a big fan of sweatshirt, I think they belong in the gym or outdoors in the woods or something. Maybe that is just me but If feel a card does the job and you also look much better.

Tip of the day: Leave your cardigan’s bottom button undone to give the look some character.
