Sweaters, cardigans, vests, repeat! You’ve gotten into the swing of dressing for the winter weather and every outfit is starting to feel familiar. Cardigans are my favorite winter piece for having fresh winter outfits throughout the season.
Here are 5 of my favorite ways to style cardigans from Tanger!
1. With a Basic Tee
Cardigans are easier than ever when paired with a basic tee. You have plenty of leeway to layer up with a cargo jacket, peacoat, or scarf! Whatever you choose to pile on you’ll have a solid base with this tee + cardigan combo from GAP FACTORY and J.CREW FACTORY.
OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN $18.99 | STRIPED ARTIST T-SHIRT $16.00 |
2. With a Long Sleeve Blouse
When winter starts taking over I like to layer a long sleeve blouse under my chunkiest cardigan for a cozy look, like these pieces from GAP FACTORY and J.CREW FACTORY!
TEXTURED OPEN FRONT CARDIGAN $33.99 | CHAMBRAY SHIRT $27.50 |
3. With Leggings and An Athletic Pullover
This is my go-to look for class in the winter with pieces from GAP FACTORY and UNDER ARMOUR! Nothing beats a pullover plus a warm cardigan and leggings for a comfy athleisure look for class. Super easy for the college girl on the go… aka all of us. Am I right?!

4. Belted With a Scarf
Looking frumpy is definitely something we all want to avoid wearing winter layers! The easiest solution is to belt your cardigan. That way you get all the warmth and coziness of the cardigan and flattering effect from the belt. I pop a scarf on to round out the look! I’ve picked up some key basics to wear all winter from J.CREW FACTORY, GUESS FACTORY STORE, AMERICAN EAGLE OUTFITTERS, and FRANCESCA’S.
