How to give your cardigans a casual effect outside the office

Casual cardigan

Cardigans work very well in smart casual looks for the office, but on the street we have the freedom to give this garment a more casual effect. Something that can be done even with the most formal tuxedo collar models.

If you want to wear cardigans, but are worried that they will make you look older, or if you are just looking some inspiration to get more out of your cardigans, we encourage you to consider the following tips on how to combine them.

Put it on a t-shirt

T-shirts erase the smart from smart casual with a stroke of the pen on the cardigans, helping the look appear less serious and more streetwear.

It is a mandatory condition when we want to immediately strip our cardigan of that air of a formal garment. Mandarin collar and lumberjack plaid shirts are also good options.

Wear jeans and joggers

Outside of the office, swap chinos and dress pants for jeans and even joggers. Y do not be shy when combining your cardigan with ripped pants.

Although jeans and joggers are the safe bet, combining them with a High / low philosophy, dress pants can also help us offer that casual effect. You can see an example under these lines:

The color black is your ally

Using one color instead of another can radically change the effect of a look. While we associate beige with the smart casual style, adding the appropriate black pieces to your cardigan will give you will help your look emanate rock vibes.

Think slim fit jeans. You can accentuate it with black cardigans and urban accessories such as beanies, rings and chains.

Finish it off with footwear

To get your cardigan to finish acquiring that casual effect, footwear is very important. Avoid smart shoes and even smart casuals, like the Brogues, and instead bet on sneakers, work boots and Chelsea boots. The latter works great with the black pieces we mentioned earlier.
