How did a cardigan come about?
Cardigan as an independent item in the women's wardrobe appeared in the 18th century.
The original idea of a cardigan is protection from the cold. These warm jackets were worn by soldiers as extra uniforms, which literally saved from frost. Later, designers from a different angle looked at this wardrobe item of a free cut. Cardigan has undergone a real evolution: changed its shape, length, way of design. But today he is presented by fashion designers to a wide range of modern women.
A sheath dress is a basic thing in a single image with a cardigan. This unique creation was created by the legendary Coco Chanel in 1926. A real furor case-dress with a cardigan produces today.

The color of the mood ... any
In the collections of designers you can find almost the entire palette of fashionable colors this season. In order not to get lost in this “color” abundance, you need to know the rules for combining shades.
Black concise color
The black color of the cardigan is versatile and practical. With it, light and dark basic things are successfully combined. If the goal is a fatal beauty, then choose a boldly red dress. In the case of a romantic date, we choose all the shades of nude, mint, pink and blue. A great bold decision is a black cardigan and a striped dress.
White freshness
A white cardigan will always refresh the look. A classic (linen style) black dress with a cardigan of this color will create a sleek, stylish look.
Another possible option is a sheath dress (the same one that Chanel came up with) in gray. The result is a stylish composition for a business image.
Gray business
The gray cardigan is versatile. Moreover, it goes well with all colors.
Pay attention to the polka dot dress (actual print this season).
Actual bottle color
But the green cardigan must be combined only with the pastel gamut of dresses.
One hundred percent hit - a small black dress or gray midi, complemented by a narrow belt. As an alternative: cropped dress pants with a loose striped shirt.
Passionate red
A red cardigan is a great addition to a lace dress. If desired, the waist can be emphasized with a belt. Do not forget about accessories!
Beige classic
The beige cardigan looks impressive with dark shades. For example, thick cardigan yarn is in perfect harmony with a silk black or gray dress.
Cardigans with prints look spectacular. For example, a strip, peas and ornament are relevant as never before. Such interesting styles of cardigans need to be combined only with plain dresses.
Stylists advise in this case to abandon bright accessories so that the image is not overloaded.
Material ratio: combination rules
When creating stylish images, it is necessary to take into account the features of the texture of fabrics. Things must complement each other.
- Openwork thin cardigan is combined with products from cotton, nylon, linen or viscose.
- We combine knitted or woolen dresses with a cardigan made of drap, costume fabric or leather.
- Knitted cardigans are best combined with simple things, but of dense structure: leather, crimped, draped or jeans.
- A tight-fitting dress made of knitwear or mohair is best combined with a thick cardigan made of neoprene, jeans, polyamide or natural wool.
A dress with a cardigan in a set is usually made of the same fabric and color. A dress in this combination is slightly shorter than a cardigan. It always looks like a single image that does not require additional accessories.
What to wear?
Long cardigans are able to bring their zest to the image and even change the style.
- Cardigan with a sheath dress. Simple and stylish. As a complement - a wide belt over the cardigan.
- A long or elongated cardigan made of thin fabric looks great with a skirt. So your image will look graceful. For a formal occasion - a pencil skirt. If you have an informal meeting, a flared skirt, a fashionable pleated or "Tatyana" - to your taste and color.
To create a multi-layered compound bow is a difficult task, but feasible. All in your hands! As Coco Chanel said, "... but they must not be omitted."
