Big Cardigans

My grandparents have worn it for years and I own a cupboard full of them, yes, I'm talking about the very British garment, the cardigan. But it's the big cardigans I'm fond of this autumn winter, easy to throw on in mild weather, and an alternative to a coat. I actually prefer it sometimes to a jumper as I can slip off when I get hot, it's also an essential clothing for my loungewear.

This spring/summer and autumn/winter we have seen lightweight cardigans, short cardigans, chunky knit and cardigan coats, I guess it's fair to say it's been a popular item this year.

The great thing about a cardigan is that you can wear it over most things, looks great belted up for a dressed up look or thrown on over a dress or jeans.

As soon as I saw this H&M cardigan, I fell in love with it, it's mohair blend and so comfortable and warm, they have a very similar one online with no buttons, reminds me of the Acne Studio one here. I usually wear mine over casual jeans or dresses, great for layering up during winter too.
