Cardi-Licious



The summer is drawing to a close but it’s not yet cold enough to completely abandon our hippy dresses and gladiator sandals. So what is a girl to do before she takes refuge in the beautiful autumn/winter collections?


The humble cardigan is the perfect accompaniment to any summer or autumn outfit. It can be worn simply for an added layer of warmth on a chilly September evening or, taking inspiration from the catwalks, it can be the centre-piece of an outfit. Humble the cardigan is no more!


Celebs in cardigans

If you’re looking for cardigan inspiration this year, look no further than Missoni’s fall collection. With a stunning array of designs there is something for every fashionista in this collection! My personal favourite is the wrap-around cape which is a stand out trend this autumn/winter. What’s yours?

The draped cardigan- Perfect with a summery t-shirt dress or autumnal tailored skirt, the draped cardigan streamlines the silhouette, enhancing an outfit whilst also providing that cosy extra layer! Go for a Calvin Klein or DKNY number!

Elizabeth James Belted Cardigan

The belted cardigan- One for a cooler day, it is a comfortable option and great for a more casual day in the office. Its belted design slims by highlighting the waist and accentuating curves making the cardigan shape-enhancing rather than shapeless! This is particularly brilliant for those of you who choose a chunky-knit style! Go for a slim-line Elizabeth and James or a cosier Vivienne Westwood design!


Missoni Cape - My Personal Fave and Calvin Klein draped cardigan

The cape- Missoni leads the way with the luxurious cape and they have one for every budget which is fabulous for strapped-for-cash girls like myself! Simply worn with a beautiful vintage brooch (it’s maybe one for slightly colder weather) it will add opulence to your favourite LBD! Most of the designs are quite form-fitting but have added expanses of fabric which creates a dramatic look! Needless to say choose a Missoni cape- they are simply beautiful!
