Cardigan

What is a "cardigan"?

A cardigan is a type of sweater that is open at the front, typically fastened with buttons or a zipper. It is named after James Brudenell, the 7th Earl of Cardigan, who was a British military commander during the Crimean War and was known for wearing a similar garment. Cardigans can be made from various materials, including wool, cotton, and cashmere, and can come in a range of styles, from classic and simple to more trendy and fashionable. They are versatile and can be worn as a layering piece over a shirt or blouse, or as a standalone top. They are a popular choice for colder weather, but can also be worn in transitional seasons or as a cozy and comfortable piece of loungewear.
