Maybe you already own 100 cardigans, maybe you are just starting to discover their magic capabilities like me. The older I get, the more I’ve started to realize the importance of cozy attire. Even if I have a closet full of “nice” or “super cute” clothing, I always seem to reach for what is comfortable. I would venture out to say that cardigans are maybe one of the most overlooked accessories for any outfit. They are no longer boring and grandma looking. In fact, you can now find them in all shapes, colors and sizes!

My personal favorite way to wear cardigans is either with jeans or a dress as shown above. They are a great layering tool for days when the mornings are a bit cooler or if you are headed somewhere indoors where they like to freeze you out! I styled both of these outfits so that you could easily dress them up or down. I decided to go for a dressed down approach but you could easily dress these up a bit more with a pair of boots and a scarf. See below for my favorites under $100!
