I like your solution to the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384799 Tue, 22 Apr 2025 17:21:29 +0000 Carol 2384799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie--thanks.<br />Jamie--this morning I reached for an open cardigan, but threw on a buttoned one. I agree.<br />Jenny--thank you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384636 Sun, 20 Apr 2025 13:28:08 +0000 Jenny H 2384636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great in both looks. I'm so impressed with your clever clasp solution!! Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384606 Sun, 20 Apr 2025 00:07:36 +0000 Jaime 2384606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same problem with cardigans - I only like them buttoned up on me. The clip is a smart solution. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384567 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 14:15:05 +0000 Angie 2384567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Jenni </b>said! You cleverly made the cardigan work with the nifty clasp </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384550 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 09:50:46 +0000 Carol 2384550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi--thanks so much for the photos. I have tried to wrap it--it does not work. But I have done that with other sweaters. The neckline clasp idea sounds cute, though, and I will try that.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384549 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 09:43:24 +0000 Zaeobi 2384549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks nice on you! You could also play around with the placement of the clasp - near the neckline for a more A-line fit, or gathering just the front ends to the opposite shoulder for a shawl look. Let me see if I can find some examples. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384541 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 04:49:57 +0000 Carol 2384541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, you two! And it does not do any damage to the shirt, like a pin would. Even to a thick sweater, I think.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384536 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 02:55:14 +0000 Lisa 2384536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty clasp. I like how it adds a little cinch to the waist area by closing the cardigan with the clasp. Very clever.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384535 Sat, 19 Apr 2025 01:36:53 +0000 Jenni NZ 2384535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely little clip, so pretty. I think this definitely makes the cardigan look better than hanging loose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-trouble-with-cardigans#post-2384518 Fri, 18 Apr 2025 19:35:44 +0000 Carol 2384518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;I don't know why I keep acquiring cardigans--few work well on me. This one was hand-me-down from a friend--nice, but a little small.</p> <p>The problem for me with cardigans is that I am busty, and the open front ones look, to me, always bad on me. Larger than I am, almost like a bath robe.</p> <p>Today I had a few minutes to play around with this outfit. I wanted to close the front, and remembered I had these cool little clasp sets I got on Cider, Temu...one of those.&nbsp; They are mainly used to cinch in the waist of jeans, etc. when you are not going to go to the tailor. For casual looks, they work really well for that purpose.</p> <p>I think this looks alright. Even the first photo looks alright, but I generally don't like that look.</p> <p> </p>
