Vintage and retro clothing has taken the fashion world by storm. Whilst fashion has always been cyclical, with forgotten fashions coming back onto the catwalk 20 years later, there's a demand for retro styling that has resulted in the return of once-dismissed cardigans for women.
There was a time when the twinset was de rigueur for a certain class - and age - of woman, but with cute designs, pastel colours and great fashions to match with, these types of tops and cardigans for women have seen a resurgence in popularity. Lightweight, easy to wear and with plenty of style, these cardigans are perfect for work or play and work brilliantly with retro-style skirts and long boots as well as with skinny black jeans and flat pumps - in fact, there are lots of ways to make the most of this style.
Every girl loves to be cosy when the temperature drops and whilst many other cover-ups are popular, such as hoodies and fleece jackets, chunky, warm cardigans for women have made a real comeback. Disregarded for a long time, knits like cable sweaters are now appearing in stores up and down the high street, as well as online, and cable-knit cardigans are being worn again across the age groups. Available in bright colours and with plenty of detail, cable and Arran-style knits are the perfect way to add a warm layer for the outdoors, or for snuggling down on the sofa.
And let's not forget the overwhelming revival of the Fair Isle pattern - in hundreds of guises up and down the country. This intricate knitwear used to be the butt of fashion jokes, but its complete take-over of knitwear in recent seasons shows the power of the catwalk - and the recognition of the style and beauty of the traditional Fair Isle pattern. Today, there are plenty of cardigans for women that use either the standard pattern or a variation on it, giving you something truly eye-catching to wear.
Of course, there are plenty of more recent styles to choose from too, including the incredibly popular waterfall cardigans, edge-to-edge cardigans for a smarter style and a wide range of long-length and more formal knitwear. But traditional style cardigans for women have definitely made a return to the front of fashion, so if it's time to update your wardrobe, take a good look at these vintage and retro-inspired designs - and use them to your advantage.
