There are several reasons why we love cardigans. I use them to cover my shoulders when I wear sleeveless dresses to church. I wrap up in one when I need to stay warm from the chill of an air condition at the office, or from the breeze outdoor in fall and spring. For some of us though, cardigans are a way to hide some unwanted curves. But more often than not, they are meant to protect us from the cold.
And yet, more than just an outer layer, cardigans can also be a key player in our outfit whether it´s for work, for a date, or for the street. Here are some of the most stylish cardigans for this season.
