Back to Basics: The Must-Have Cardigan

Jul 6, 2021

If your office is anything like mine, the temperature is never right.  In the winter, it’s cold.  In the summer, it’s cold for an entirely different reason.  So having a great collection of toppers — cardigans, blazers, etc. — is critical.  And this cardigan is one that I’ve talked about before, but I cannot recommend enough times.

This J.Crew Juliette Cardigan has such a sophisticated look to it.  It dresses up jeans or leggings, and it takes dresses and work separates to a new level.  Oh, and did I mention it’s 29% off today?

The quality of this sweater is write-home worthy.   The weight is heavier than most cardigans you see these days.  The pockets are deep enough for a cell phone.  And I’ve worn my grey one dozens of times this year, and it is holding up beautifully.

The sweater comes in sizes XXS – 3X.  I have the small in the grey; it’s a little oversized, but not too big.  So I finally bought the black today (thanks, sale), and I bought the XS for a slimmer fit.

    I am quite short (5’1″) so I imagine I would look like a child in this. Any slightly short versions out there?
