The Men's Cardigan

For years and years the cardigan has been looked at as one of two things: women's apparel or "old man". In the last year or so, it has begun to creep back into the limelight. If you currently own a full-zip sweater then you are almost ready to take the step to the cardigan. There are several companies this year that have them, but I'd like to focus on just one: J.Crew. With their heavily English-influenced style and Anglo-Saxon-looking models, they have entwined their look this fall with the V-neck button cardigan. With the addition of this, anyone can achieve two of the popular looks this fall/winter. Which two you ask? That would have to be layering, and the cardigan but of course. Final verdict: when you want to create a look that says "I like my European heritage but I want to be comfortable/trendy" then pick this item up.

what if your heritage looks more like baboushkas and cabbage?
