What to wear cardigans with also depends on the image you want to create. If you prefer a bold youth style, then models with bright colors and a variety of prints will suit you. If you use a cardigan with fasteners, you can leave it unbuttoned, while putting a belt on top and thereby emphasizing the curves. The look should be complemented with a T-shirt or top, shorts, jeans, leggings or a short skirt, and don't forget about accessories, such as a youth watch, a scarf, chains of different lengths or a pendant like "hand-made". It is even easier to create an image of casual relaxation. Here you can use almost any color scheme, model of any length and silhouette. For example, a knitted voluminous cardigan of medium length with or without pockets, in combination with a light chiffon blouse and leggings, will suit slim and tall girls.

Use pastel colors or a small floral pattern. Be sure to complement the look with a beautiful brooch, a pendant on a long cord and mark the waist with a tie or belt. And finally, if you want to look elegant and stylish at the same time, choose an ultra-short tight-fitting cardigan in dark colors with or without a clasp and wear it over a little black dress or any evening dress. In addition, you can decorate it with a thin belt and put on a pearl bracelet or a gold necklace - it looks very impressive and neat. But what you should not wear a cardigan with is knitted dresses - it looks boring and visually weighs down the figure. To prevent a classic black jumper from looking gloomy, it is better to wear it with bright fluffy skirts, denim shorts, cheerful T-shirts, floral dresses, interesting accessories and colorful leggings.
