Some cardigans are background; these are the outfit. Rainbow stripes, multicolor patchwork, checkered hearts, florals and fair-isle — knit and crocheted by our artisan partners in yarns chosen for their color. If you have ever been stopped on the street and asked where your cardigan is from, it was probably one of these.
How to wear color at any age: pick one color from the cardigan and repeat it once below — the shoe, the bag, the earring — keep everything else neutral, and let the cardigan do the rest. A long rainbow cardigan over black is the most-photographed look on this site.

Can older women wear bright cardigans? Yes — color near the face is flattering at every age. Choose the palette that suits your coloring and keep the rest of the outfit simple.
