One of the most versatile pieces of clothing a woman can add to her wardrobe is a knitted cardigan. Choosing a traditional Irish cardigan in a neutral colour allows you to wear these warm, comfortable, and very stylish garments in a range of different ways to suit your mood and your wardrobe.
Add a Dash of Colour
Traditional Irish knitted cardigan styles have the button-up front with long sleeves and a variety of different neckline options, from a V-neck to more of a shawl neckline. They can also be designed to drape on the body, leaving the front open rather than the traditional buttons or, less commonly, zippers.
Adding a bright blouse or shirt under a grey, sand, pearl, or other colour of cardigan gives a pop of color. This can be paired with a neutral colour in trousers or skirt, with the classic option of black or white also an option.
A bright scarf is another way to add a bit of colour when wearing a knitted cardigan. A scarf that includes a bold floral or geometric pattern is very flattering.
Add an Oversized Bag
The choice of a bag or purse is another factor to consider when wearing a cardigan. A leather or faux leather bag offers a rich accent to the top, and the choice of a dark color accentuates the beautiful, soft tones of the knitted cardigan.
The larger the bag, the more it draws the eye and brings attention to the sweater. Consider a bag that has a shorter strap and sits comfortably under your arm to highlight the luxurious look of the knitted fabric and pattern against the smooth sheen of the leather.
Finally, adding a statement necklace is another way to accessorize any cardigan sweater. Keep in mind, that the larger the collar on the sweater, the smaller the jewellery should be.
