In this Nothing2Wear 2-Minute Outfit episode, I show you how to style a cardigan over the shoulders, as an accessory. In addition, I show you 3 looks, with 3 basic pieces in 2 minutes- by wearing a white Banana Republic white oxford shirt, a J. Crew animal print cardigan and a Gap black velvet blazer. WATCH.
You may wonder if wearing a cardigan over your shoulders is still cool and trendy, ABSOLUTELY! What matters is defining your own style, despite what magazine editors say is trending on the streets. Wear what’s comfortable, what you like that makes you feel good, and what gives you confidence. A cardigan can be an awesome accessory piece. Here are 3 ways to style 3 basic pieces.
If you don’t have a crisp white, fitted oxford shirt, buy one. This Banana Republic oxford is one of my favorites. I can wear it tucked in or out as a layered piece. Throwing in a print to accent a classic black and white outfit is accomplished with the butter yellow Zebra print J. Crew cardigan tied over my shoulders.
Look 2: Another way to wear the cardigan is to style it over a blazer. This black Gap velvet blazer is in sync with Fall.
Look 3: Trade the cardigan for an emerald green floral print Remington scarf to wrap up a polished look. As temps drop, swap the black booties for tall boots in sand or saddle hues.
