How to Get the Look: Contemporary cardigan
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Pink? Pearls? Looks pretty old school to me.
In itself this prim and proper style from Moschino Cheap & Chic (£253, my-wardrobe.com, above) inhabits nostalgic/retro territory. That needn't be a bad thing, but if you are looking to wear it in a way that feels bang up-to-date, then it's a question of simple styling.
OK, what's going to give it the requisite edge?
First, you should wear a cardi like this as a top rather than as a cover-up for bingo wings. No Mad Men cleavage here; modernity demands that one button it right on up to the neck. The twinset goes commando, if you will.
Yikes. Take it I don't have to go commando too?
Take it as you will, but one thing you do need from the waist down is a pair of jeans. Slim, just to the ankle. Plus some flats – a loafer or slipper style is good.
Still think it's a little on the saccharine side…
If pale rose and pearls is never going to work for you, try Zara's lace "jacket" – despite the name, it's basically a round-neck cotton cardi with a lace insert up the sleeves, available in black and dark red (£15.99, zara.com).
