How to wear cardigans

[Fuuma]

I got this Sacai silk/wool cardigan that looks pretty cool unworn (hmm silk). I’m not a cardigan person and was wondering how I could wear it, I tried a very casual outfit but it looks too generic hipster for my taste; that’s not the look I’m going for. So any advice from the advanced cardi wearers? Paging Chris et other cardigan wearers.

Here’s a pic of the only time I wore it:

I think the unbuttoned cardigan over a plain t-shirt with some low-slung jeans is a great, relaxed look. Rirawin pulls this off pretty well, imo.

I wear a cardy most of the time in the chatWYWT, ive worn it with flowery shirts, printed tees and plain teas, looks best with a plain tee I think. I like em slouchy.

Fuuma, how you wear it now looks pretty good, maybe a simpler tee design in fufutre but apart from that, fit looks good.

Nice tee. What is it?

i think they look nice with a printed tank underneath.

What he said. Buttoned cardigans seem kinda grandpa-ish to me, unbottened and drapey is the way to go.

Unbuttoned with some nice tee under. mabye a shirt.

preppy is nice.

I'm not sure that cardy is working for you. It's a little timid, a little flaccid. Not the right style for the draped look you may be going for. At the same time not fitted/short enough to be considered clean/compact.

Without focussing too much on the actual looks/items depicted below, I see you wearing a cardigan as more of a layering piece in lieu of v-necks and vests/waistcoats.

i think it might work, maybe with a button or two more unbottoned, with a shirt in a more textured material underneath. The tshirt under cardigan look is starting to get...stale.

...High buttoning cardie, wear buttoned up with buttoned up polo/shirt underneath with slim jean...Low buttoning, wear open with loose fitting, pre v-neck plain tee...As shinchrono points out with low-slung jeans...Hope this helps...

Fuuma, buttoned up I think that cardi needs something patterned on top of it. Some kind of jacket or coat. Would look good unbuttoned with that t-shirt, imo.

please don't....

maybe it sounds bad on paper.
