Ask Angie: Cardigans

Can a cardigan replace a jacket in a smart casual outfit, or are they for layering purposes only?

Good question. It depends on the gauge and structure of the knit and the rest of the ensemble. Chunky – not really.

I guess I'm thinking of something like the cardigan from yesterday's post-- fine knit and close fitting.

That will work. Wear it over something fairly dressy like a blouse or good quality knitted top. Even a shirt. Then finish off the look with good shoes and handbag. You are smart casual!
