The cardigan is a knitted jacket that fastens at the front (with buttons, a zip or open) and is named after the British Earl of Cardigan. Unlike a pullover, which is pulled over the head, the cardigan opens, so it easily regulates warmth and layers. Its silhouette is soft and relaxed — from short, fitted styles to long, voluminous oversize ones. It combines the comfort of knitwear with the logic of a jacket, easily completing both business and at-home looks. The cardigan is versatile in season and mood: a fine one suits a summer air-conditioned room, while a bulky woollen one keeps you warm in autumn.
