Knits on Knits: Ruffled Cardigan over Cashmere

ruffled cardigan
Sweater layers over sweater layers. That’s how I survived three days in Pennsylvania last weekend when I refused to bring along a winter puffer jacket despite knowing the temperatures would be bone-chillingly cold. Instead, I relied on my knits, layering this ruffled batwing knit cardigan from StyleWe over a black cashmere crewneck sweater and topping off with a denim jacket on our last day at the cabin. My friends thought I was crazy, and maybe they had a point, since I ended up with the sniffles and a cough that still persists even a week later.

Lesson learned the hard way. Aesthetics are undoubtedly important, and as delightfully soft and gorgeous this burgundy ruffled cardigan is, sometimes you just have to sacrifice on style in order to stay healthy. And really, who did I think I was going to impress anyways out there in rural Pennsylvania with nothing but stretches of empty road and trees for miles? I’m back in New York City now, but as the days quickly transition into bleary winter, you’ll find me bundling up in chunkier knits and wool on my days out and saving this cardigan for the office and holiday festivities instead.
