As we slip into a (somewhat surreal) spring, there are rumblings of a new throwback style coming to the fore. The cardigan made its presence felt over winter 2019, but styling generally resembled the more oversize, grunge aesthetic of the '90s. However, this year, the silhouette has shrunk, and it's less Courtney Love, more Cher from Clueless.
Ribbed, slim-fitting and typically worn sans base layer, this preppy knit is undeniably useful for the WFH situation many of us find ourselves in. Essentially, we want something that will keep us warm without feeling overly bulky as we huddle over our tiny desks. It's also the sort of style that looks fab with basics, whether it's denim, tracksuits or knitted trousers. My personal fave styling trick is to tuck into jeans and add layered necklaces. Simple yet chic. Scroll down to see and shop my edit of '90s cardigans.
