This week on Wisdom from the Wardrobe, we're buttoning up the conversation and letting style loose as we cozy up to that wardrobe staple: the cardigan. From its battlefield beginnings (shoutout to the 7th Earl of Cardigan) to its runway reinventions, the humble cardi has gone from knit necessity to closet hero.
The team gets wrapped up in the many faces of the cardigan, cropped, longline, belted, circle, and yes, even those chunky, slouchy ones that toe the line between cozy and couch potato. We unpack which styles flatter which body types, how to avoid falling into frump territory, and a few surprising ways to wear this wardrobe workhorse.
We’re not just spinning yarns here, this episode is full of styling tips, fashion missteps to avoid, and a few “knit-picks” about what not to do when layering up.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your circle cardigan is a style win or a wardrobe whoopsie, this one’s for you.
Expect fashion fun, plenty of puns, and expert advice on how to make your cardigans anything but boring. Happy listening, and remember, cardigans aren’t just for librarians.
