Basic
Cardigans are associated with a school or office for a reason: in the post-war period, teachers who had to sit in dank libraries for a long time began to wear them under their jackets, and Ivy League students, who applied the distinctive sign of their university to a single-color thing. Even then, the main function of the cardigan, in addition to warming and distinguishing oneself from others, was compliance with the official working dress code: the models were made exclusively from natural fabric and in neutral shades, without additional accessories and any prints. Today, after the return of preppy style to mainstream fashion, these are the premium brands of classic clothing: Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, Colombo, Ereda and Peserico. They are able to become an alternative to uncomfortable jackets, without causing outrage from the authorities.

Branded
Some brands have retained another historical feature of the cardigan - the patch on the chest. Only now it is not made in the form of the emblem of the university, campus or sports team, to which the owner of the thing belongs, but in the form of the logo of its manufacturer - for example, Dolce & Gabbana or Guess. Unlike these brands, Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Gucci and Balenciaga have applied their symbolism not on one part, but on the entire surface of the cardigan. However, he did not look more loud or pretentious from this - the thing can also be worn with a "student" shirt, dress pants, leather loafers and high socks.

Printed
Georgian designers Lalo and Nino Dolidze, who made cardigans even before it became mainstream, treat clothing production as an art process. Their co-brand Lalo features colorful feathers, shimmering pearls and chunky flowers that won't fit in the office but look great on the red carpet. The creative directors Antonio Marras, Avant Toi, Valentino and Alanui take an example of courage and mischief from Georgians. The first makes the cardigan resemble a tapestry carpet, the second creates a trendy tie-dye effect on the fabric, the third modernizes the old portrait of Edgar Poe, and the fourth adds a photo of a summer sunset.

Multicolored
Clothes in uplifting shades are essential in gray, chilly and changeable winter weather. The designers of Gucci, JW Anderson, No. 21, Olivia Rubin and the Russian brand WOS could not choose a single one and painted the cardigans in several colors at once - from soft mint and candy pink to fiery red and acid yellow. The advantage of such models is that in the set with them, any thing - from blue jeans to a pencil skirt - will look smart. Minus - from so many bright shades, it begins to ripple quickly in the eyes.

Retro
The most fashionable, cozy and beloved cardigan will still be the one knitted or inherited by the grandmother. However, for those who do not have such a gift of fate in their wardrobe, Prada, Kiton, Loewe and Dolce & Gabbana have prepared models with retro designs: dimensionless, stretched, lurid, complemented by Scandinavian patterns, lace appliqués and vintage fittings. Some of them resemble the cardigan in which Marilyn Monroe had her last photo shoot on the beach in Santa Monica, others - the image of Kurt Cobain at the MTV Unplugged concert in 1993. The pellets that appear on things during long wear will only add authenticity to it.
