I like this one better. The camel is also sharp, but I feel it would work with a lower-cut shirt in a color like black, red, etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I thought there were a couple holes in your sweater--then I realized there must have been a little dust on your camera lens. Phew!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362510 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 19:04:51 +0000 Chris987 2362510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>RobinF</b>! I keep thinking the beige one OUGHT to go with a lot but styling it has turned out to be tricky.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362497 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 16:12:11 +0000 RobinF 2362497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both of these! The white looks a little more summery, maybe because it is a little more sheer. The cream is a great neutral that probably goes with a lot.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362473 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 11:21:10 +0000 Chris987 2362473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Brooklyn! That rule of 3 is often applied to gardening too … when adding multiples of the same plant to a garden do 3 or 5 not 2 or 4 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362464 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 09:20:40 +0000 Brooklyn 2362464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking of the “rule of 3” in interior design, which I think can be applied to fashion too. Because the buttons are done up, at least partially, you’ve made them a focal point. To my eye, 3 looks better than 4. </p> <p>(When I wear brooches I try to group them in 3 or 5, not 2 or 4. Similarly, when I layer necklaces, I try to go for 3 or 5, or a multi strand necklace with too many strands to count, not 2 or 4.)</p> <p>In this case fewer buttons also creates a deeper angle at the neckline, and I always think angularity is interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362432 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 19:36:21 +0000 Chris987 2362432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks <b>DonnaF!</b> I'm not quite sure why I chose the white one  </p> <p><b>Suntiger</b>, I agree that a white top under the white cardigan might be a little better than the dark top I wore under it. </p> <p><b>Mary Beth</b> what an interesting viewpoint. I think I see it too ... the white one is somehow more casual than the light camel one, but very close.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362431 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 19:14:35 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2362431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these are both great, they’re just different moods. &nbsp;I’d wear the second one to a weekend afternoon of live music with food trucks, or the farmers market in the park. &nbsp;I’d wear the first one to a more structured sit-down meal, or a movie, etc.</p> <p>I love #2 better overall for fit and color. &nbsp;But #1 is a very close runner-up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362412 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 16:59:36 +0000 Suntiger 2362412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing #1 cause it's more opaque. The second one could be ok with a lighter top under it though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362399 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 15:46:12 +0000 DonnaF 2362399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might have chosen based on my temperature needs. The white cardigan has a more feminine vibe than the beige one; depends on what you’re going for. Hope dinner was great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362395 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 12:38:49 +0000 Chris987 2362395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating responses! The general (but not universal) opinion seems to be that the light camel one is a better color/better silhouette&nbsp; and the white one is a better fit ... on me.</p> <p>Thanks <b>Sisi, Angie, Bonnie, Suz, LaPed, Jaime, Aquamarine, Jenni N, Star, April.&nbsp;</b></p> <p><b>Joy</b> - I agree that cardigans can have that "older ladies wearing to church" look which is perfectly fine but not a look I wish to emulate. I don't have or wear many classic cardigans for this reason.</p> <p><b>Aquamarine,</b> and<b> Runcarla</b> - good point about the sheerness of the white one over a darker layer although I I kind of like it. I could also see wearing it over a white cami or tank.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn </b>- can you elaborate on why you prefer 3 buttons, and does that apply only to vneck cardigans?</p> <p>p.s.&nbsp;I chose #2, the white one, but I am going find ways to wear the other one too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362392 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 10:59:52 +0000 April 2362392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My vote is for the slouchier one.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362388 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 08:49:03 +0000 Star (Lise) 2362388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>I agree with&nbsp;<b>JenniNZ.</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362385 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 08:38:47 +0000 Jenni NZ 2362385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a fan of #2.

I’m also a firm believer that 3 buttons look better than 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362379 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 04:23:19 +0000 Carla 2362379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 for colour and opacity. &nbsp;#2 has a nice fit, but seems too sheer for a dark under layer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362374 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 00:45:12 +0000 Aquamarine 2362374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The white one seems more sheer over the dark shirt. For me, just that fact alone would make me choose 1. But if your top were a lighter color, I’d pick 2. I like the slimmer fit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362373 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 00:39:24 +0000 Jaime 2362373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I would pick #1, but like LaPed, your face suggests you prefer #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362366 Mon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:45 +0000 Anonymous 2362366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The light camel looks warmer if that makes any diffence. Both look like what the older ladies wear to church as protection against the air conditioning. I like both with a slight preference for #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362365 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 23:24:51 +0000 LaPed 2362365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both, but based on the smile I’m going with #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362361 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 22:16:59 +0000 Suz 2362361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said! I like the colour of 1 the best (with this combo) and the cut of 2.&nbsp; Hope you had a lovely time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362356 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 21:13:26 +0000 Bonnie 2362356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 with this outfit. It buttons up nicely and I like the color.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362354 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 20:43:57 +0000 Angie 2362354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is a better fit on the welt and hips!</p> <p>#1 is a better colour. I prefer the overall&nbsp;silhouette&nbsp;of #1 too. Wonder which you chose! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I realize that <b>Sisi </b>and I said a similar thing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362353 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 20:24:47 +0000 Sisi 2362353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Difficult! I like the color of the first and the shape of the second ... Sorry I am of no help. The blouse is stunning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-cardigan-do-you-prefer#post-2362352 Sun, 09 Jun 2024 20:03:56 +0000 Chris987 2362352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm heading our for a casual dinner with DH.&nbsp;I know which cardigan I chose, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on comparisons of the two very similar styles. The white one is a little slimmer cut esp. in the sleeves. (I could push the sleeves up on either one.). It's been cold and rainy most of the day but now that it's late afternoon the sun is out and it's going to try to warm up for what is left of the day. I'm wearing and liking a lot of blue/white/light camel this spring. .&nbsp;</p> <p>(no find for the light camel sweater)</p> <p>TIA for all comments and suggestions!&nbsp; </p>
