Who says cardigan makes you look like an old man? Cardigan has been one of the best apparel to perk up your dress-down wardrobe. It seems to function like a sports jacket creating a more formal presentation but yet its design makes it a much casual one. So wearing a simple collared shirt can look very different putting on a nice fitting cardigan above it. If you dare, play it with colors and it will really spice up your dress-down wardrobe.
Paul Smith (below) created a more 1980s look with a slightly oversized cardigan but paired against well-fitted pants without making it look sloppy.
Gucci (left) and Hermes (right) chose to use some bright colors on their cardigan to spruce up the earthy or monochromatic colors on their dress-down casuals.
