Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to wear a cardigan?
Cardigans work year-round depending on the weight and fabric. Lightweight cotton or linen-blend cardigans are perfect for spring and summer evenings, while thicker wool or cashmere versions provide ideal warmth during fall and winter.
How do I choose between a cardigan and a sweater?
Cardigans offer more versatility because you can wear them open as a layering piece or buttoned up as a standalone top. Sweaters provide a cleaner, more streamlined look, so the choice depends on whether you prioritize layering flexibility or a polished silhouette.
Can men wear cardigans?
Absolutely. Shawl-collar and zip-front cardigans are popular in menswear and add a sophisticated touch to casual outfits. Pair a solid-color cardigan with a simple tee and chinos for a refined yet approachable look.
How does MyWear help with cardigan styling?
MyWear allows you to photograph your cardigans, tag them by weight and color, and instantly see which tops and bottoms in your wardrobe complement them. The app surfaces outfit ideas you might overlook, helping you layer with confidence every day.
