The Magic of Cardigans: A Simple Way to Revamp Your Wardrobe

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Siena chapter.

We’ve all experienced the misery of trying to find something new to wear instead of the same old jeans and single favorite t-shirt in our closets. Yet every time that outfit wins and you end up being sick of your wardrobe, thinking you have “nothing to wear.” Instead of spending a ton of money on shirts that will never be able to compete with your go-to favorite shirt (which is what your wardrobe is already full of), try finding a cardigan.

Cardigans are a great way to add something new to your outfit without having to blow your paycheck. By skipping the newest arrivals and instead looking in the clearance section, you’re guaranteed to find a great cardigan that’s below $25.

Not only are cardigans an inexpensive option, but they are very versatile. You could wear a nice button down one to class, or pair a long lined cardigan with a dress for a nice night out.

The best part is cardigans can be found just about anywhere that sells clothes. There’s no need to experiment with a new clothing brand. Popular places such as Forever 21, H&M, American Eagle, Target and TJ Maxx all carry amazing cardigans.
