That's like saying that jackets and coats are going out of style.

I just got back from Nordstrom Rack and I found two cardigans in coral and kind of a mushroom brown, as well as a fun red drape-neck tank and a little chiffon cherry-print shirt. I will post pics to see what you all think about the combinations. Thanks for the ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577621 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 17:26:04 +0000 christieanne 577621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry your shopping trip was not what you wanted. Macy's can be hard with all the various departments it's hard to know where to start and it's hit and miss by location. </p> <p>Have you tried on an XXL from Gap for length and shoulder fit? They have tangerine/coral right now - also I have no idea of your budget. But here's a link:<br /> <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=8993&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=138771" rel="nofollow">http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=138771</a></p> <p>The good thing about some of the big retailers is buying online, you can often return to store so it's easier to exchange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577604 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 16:53:27 +0000 Ana 577604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I've been seeing fewer cardigans in stores right now because stores are introducing their spring/summer lines. But I do still see them. Banana Republic and J. Crew have cardis year round, and I generally like the color selections. Nordstrom too. Have you looked at Ann Taylor? They have 40% off all online purchases right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577600 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 16:41:22 +0000 Rabbit In The Moon 577600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope not, I would be naked, lol<br /> ^^^ My thoughts exactly!!</p> <p>I checked out Old Navy; they had two or three basic cardigan styles, and one was very cropped/shrunken. I have my postpartum squish in the front and they hit me right at the widest part of it, no bueno. The other style was cute but none of the colors suited me, I thought. I could be wrong about that, though. I also checked out Target (iffy, at best) and Macy's, which was all over the place. I think I just get discouraged really easily. You know how it is. </p> <p>I also tried on a few jackets/blazers but I had a hard time finding something that had enough of a waist curve or princess seam to it. I do have a waist and when I wear the very boxy, boyfriend style jackets I feel about a mile wide. </p> <p>My ideal cardigan is going to be in the pantone color of the year - Tangerine tango. Almost a coral color. That's my holy grail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577492 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 14:44:47 +0000 ironkurtin 577492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardigans better not go out.

Cardigans are basics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577452 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 14:11:27 +0000 nicoleb 577452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think cardigans will ever be out. Maybe you were just at the wrong store? O.o Maybe they wear gearing up for summer? I think i still see summer cardis out at that time though.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577431 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:38:36 +0000 Anonymous 577431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they're *out*, but lately I'm feeling more love for jackets/blazers.</p> <p>You should post some pictures in the dressing room with the cropped cardis on. They might look just fine but your eye needs to adjust to the proportions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577420 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:27:48 +0000 Beth Ann 577420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes, good point, Meredith. V-neck cardis seem to be easier to layer these days! Target has a whole slew of them, but they're mostly crewneck. Some of my Target cardis have worn like iron -- some pilled immediately. Also, Talbots is doing fresher designs and better prices these days and carries a huge range of sizes. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577406 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 13:04:50 +0000 Meredith1953 577406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love cardis and they must NEVER go out of style or my wardrobe will be even smaller than it is! I got my two newest cardis at BR. Both are vneck which I infinitely prefer over jewel or crewneck and one is black and the other is canary yellow! I love them both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577377 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 11:45:19 +0000 Emily 577377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely not out! I have a couple of Old Navy cardigans, the fabric is light but that is nice for spring and they come in practically every colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577375 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 11:44:15 +0000 Anonymous 577375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope not, I would be naked, lol</p> <p>In my closet clean this weekend, cardigans are one of the few things I didn't purge </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577373 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 11:43:46 +0000 Anonymous 577373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw some adorable cardigans at Banana Republic yesterday.

I was there a few days ago and they had a table full of the most cheerful bright cotton cardigans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577316 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 06:31:26 +0000 christieanne 577316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just checked out Old Navy online plus sizes - there are about 20 cardis from basic colors to short sleeve to textured. You may have to order and then do some returning if you can't find things in your local area. XXL at Old Navy runs pretty large - I am a 14/16 in tops and can do a L or XL there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577309 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 06:04:40 +0000 lyn* 577309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cardis can not possibly be out ... :S </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577303 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 05:53:10 +0000 christieanne 577303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think they are out - what stores did you check? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577296 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 05:35:11 +0000 fashionista 577296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think cardigans could go "out". Search somewhere else Rabbit, may be you would find some nice ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/did-i-miss-the-cardigans-are-out-memo#post-577289 Sun, 25 Mar 2012 05:13:46 +0000 Rabbit In The Moon 577289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Went out shopping today and I was so bummed out; one of the stores had reduced the plus section to three little rounders, and the other one, no plus sizes whatsoever, and the top I wanted to try on looked just atrocious on me... Back to the drawing board, I guess. But while I was out, I was trying to find some cute, basic cardigans in fun spring colors. I was shocked that I was unable to find anything! The ones I did find were so, I'm sorry, old-lady in their cut and print that I could not imagine them working for me at all. Very "Ladies-who-lunch-at-the-country-club" and not "fun twentysomething new mom." Know what I mean? </p> <p>So, are cardigans "out?" Or am I just not looking in the right places? I found a few "shrunken" cardigans, but for a plus-size gal with a waist, they just look like honey I shrunk the cardigan. Or like I'm wearing my eight month old's jacket, ha. Advice? Favorite shops? </p>
