How to style: The Shawl Collar Cardigan
In this article, we focus on a real wardrobe classic, namely the shawl collar cardigan. The collar is rolled and can sometimes resemble a more relaxed jacket in its design. That's why it pairs well with a shirt underneath, as well as being ideal on Sunday morning. An indispensable classic that, with proper care, can endure for generations.

Casual Sunday

Sometimes you don't need to complicate things. A pair of straight jeans in raw denim, grey t-shirt and white sneakers with a cardigan over it. Regardless of whether you have a lot of plans throughout the week, go out for coffee or just want a nice Sunday outfit at home, this combination is an excellent choice. This also shows the versatility of the garment, easily worn outdoors as well as indoors without problems. For milder temperatures, the cardigan can also be a stylish alternative to an outer garment. When it comes to knitted sweaters, it's smart to invest in quality that lasts over time. This will save you from getting bobbled sweaters, bad fits and lost warmth.

Dressed for the rodeo

Denim on denim can be pieced together in a number of different ways. However, we choose to wear the cardigan over a washed Western shirt from Ralph Lauren. This shirt adds playfulness with its press-studs and seams. The Swedish brand Jeanerica has a range of different jeans designs to choose from, depending on the desired fit and wash. The picture shows the model TM005 Tapered, which has a tapered fit and a regular high waist. A timeless model, matched with a pair of Chukka boots from Astorflex. There are endless possibilities for how you can wear your shawl collar cardigan, which is why this garment is one of the most versatile in the wardrobe. Wearing a knitted tie with an Oxford shirt, a pair of straight chinos are also a great way to be dressed up, without having to use a blazer.

Fast delivery, well packaged and, because this time the product wasn’t for me, a superbly efficient returns service with great communication. Care of Carl is a very high quality, trustworthy business, in my view.
