Grey Cardigans Worth Building an Outfit Around Archives

Grey Cardigans Worth Building an Outfit Around

Grey is one of those colors that sounds boring until you understand what it actually does. It sits between everything. It works with navy, brown, olive, black, and white without asking much in return. A well chosen grey cardigan is the kind of piece that makes the rest of your wardrobe easier to dress around, not harder. The problem is most cardigans either look like they belong in an office supply closet or fall apart after three washes. What we've been looking for specifically is weight, structure around the button band, and a grey that has some depth to it rather than looking washed out under any decent light. There's a real difference between a cardigan you throw on and a cardigan you build around. These are the latter. Layered over a white shirt with dark trousers or worn alone with jeans, they hold their own without looking like an afterthought. That's the standard we held everything to here.
