Your cardigan is one of those basic pieces that you need, but one you probably don’t think of as more than just an extra layer for warmth or a way to cover up a bit more.
As you know, I’m all about maximizing your wardrobe so I’m bringing you 3 unique and different ways to wear a cardigan that you probably haven’t thought of yet!
3 Unique Ways to Wear a Cardigan
1. Tied as a top
Instead of the cardigan going over your shirt, it becomes the shirt itself! It’s a cute and different way to wear it. I think it looks best with high waisted bottoms, whether it’s jeans for a laid back vibe or a floral skirt for a look that’s thirty, flirty, and…fun! 😉 #namethatmovie #ishÂ
2. Worn backwards
Ever have one of those moments where you wear your shirt the wrong way and you’re super embarrassed? Welll in this outfit it’s intentional so you don’t have to worry about that 😉 A high neck with a low back is very chic to me, so I paired it with pearl earrings to up that chicness vibe.

3. Worn as a halter top
When your top is already on backward, you’re just going to take off the sleeves and tie them around your neck until it makes a cowl neck halter top. To be honest, I just started messing around with this cardigan to see what I could do, but I have to say I was pretty surprised by how secure this particular style felt on me. I would totally wear this as a summer top out and about!

You never know how something will work until you just throw it on and start messing with it! Who knew this basic cardigan could be both a fall/winter and summer top!
Are you surprised by these ways to wear a cardigan or are you already two steps ahead of me? 😉
I love these three different ways to wear a cardigan. Easpecially backwards…I would never think of this! They’re all gorgeous.
Thanks so much for the love, Chelsea! Happy you like it!
Cardigans are so versatile! Love how you’ve styled a basic cardigan in so many different ways.
Thanks, Leanne! <3
this is awesome! i never thought to wear a cardigan backwards or without the sleeves. what a great idea to make more use of it!
Getting more out of what you already own!
Oh, I love all of these! I want to try the halter one in the summer!!
I’m most excited for that one too!
You are so dang creative it’s sometimes painful (but like, in a good way). I’ve been wanting to try styling my cardigans differently, since I’m seeing them worn as tops a lot lately. I only have really oversized cardigans, though, so I’ll need to find a couple of cute, fitted ones!
Aww 🙂 Can’t wait to see how you rock a cardigan!
You are so creative! I’m not the biggest fan of cardigans, but I LOVE all of your suggestions! So cute!!

Aw thanks girl!
Great ideas! If you would wear your cardigan backward ( the 2nd way) with your black and white flirty skirt then you could wear your pearl earrings with a pearl necklace going down your back. Very flirty!
Oo love that idea! Thanks so much, Natalie.
