3 Ways to Wear the Trending £19.99 Cardigan
by Millie Richardson, Copywriter
Whether it’s the perfect fitting jeans, the dream trench coat or a hoodie that’s just *that* bit softer than the rest, we’ve all got those hero pieces we couldn’t imagine our wardrobe without. Fashion-forward, cosy and versatile, our new season striped cardigan with a purse-friendly price point of £19.99 is such a style — and clearly you all agree — with the knit selling like hot cakes these past few weeks.
That’s right, boasting a gorgeous coffee and white colour palette, the knitted number has been busy building the foundations of countless new year wardrobes and offering a January-blues-banishing warm embrace wherever it goes (no wonder our ambassador Emily Atack is a fan too!)
If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on the trending style, or are hoping to, this article is for you. From nailing the smart-casj formula to dressing it up with some inspo courtesy of Emily in Paris (who else is still thinking about that heart-print dress?), scroll on for three dreamy ways to wear this striped staple…
1. Smart-casj Vibes
Everything on the agenda? No worries, this smart-casj look will take you from work meetings to coffee dates to you name it. Simply elevate your new-found favourite cardigan with coordinating neutral tailored trousers and your go-to gold hoop earrings for a hint of sophistication. Since you’re on-the-go, finish off your look with comfy white trainers and a simple cross-body bag – we have our eye on this caramel embossed style featuring a cute little tassel. Voila, you’ll never have to worry about looking over or underdressed again.
2. '90s Nostalgia
Hailey Bieber called — she wants her outfit back. Seriously though, we can't help but think the style icon would love this '90s-inspired jeans and a nice knit look. It's incredibly easy to recreate, too. Just team your striped cardi with classic blue bootcut jeans, gold hoop earrings and stompy white boots. Oh, and not forgetting some retro shades, because what’s a model off-duty look without some cool eyewear?
3. Parisian Preppy
You've binged your way through season deux, now it's time to bring the series’ style to your wardrobe — yes, we're talking Emily in Paris. The show’s protagonist has sparked a trend for preppy dressing with a Parisian twist, and we're here for it. To create this look, start by matching your cardigan to a white flippy mini skirt — this one is knitted, making it perfect for the chillier months. Then, pull the outfit together with knee-high boots in the same shade and Emily's signature, a bucket hat. Add some faux pearl earrings for that extra je ne sais quoi.
