Fit ideas for thrifted cardigan
Hi all,
Picked up this weird cotton cardigan from Argentina at a thrift store recently.
It's an absolute machine at getting compliments from librarians, but I'd like to ask MFA how they'd style it. What would you wear this with?
Either that or I get clowned on for buying it, that would be fine too

Sorry for my dirty ass mirror and no natural light
Me personally I dig the cardigan. Think it could go nicely with a darker pair of pants with some texture. Here's an example

Would also look great with a straight leg pleated pant. Go for that new relaxed yet upscale style.

For easy styling follow the Light tone + Dark tone + Medium tone rule.
Solid find tho

The Pleated Tapered Fit Pant in Dark Navy
A tailored design, crafted with your comfort in mind. The Colin Pant features a relaxed fit. Tapered at the legs. Regular rise. Pleated at the front and at the waist. Slash pockets at the front and welt pockets with buttons at the back.
No offense to seb, but those first 2 pairs of pants are really awful
Agree that textured slacks would be good though
Pleats or cords or a heavier gauge wool trouser with some marling
I like it tbh. I’d go with olive fatigues, I have a pair of old chocolate carhartts I’d wear it with, or ripstop navy pleats.
I also like it a lot. Would wear with some nice relaxed comfy wool trousers. Would also go nice with jeans, and also looks good with just what you've got on there! I like the neutral tonal fit. Olive also a great choice as mentioned. Go nice and relaxed fitting
None taken 🙂
Just trying to match images with ideas. Those were the first 2 off google
I’m glad seb, I wouldn’t want this advice thread to come between us
Thanks all, I definitely agree on the vibe of the pants you're suggesting. Any thoughts on what to wear under it, beyond tshirts? Maybe relaxed linen, chambray or denim shirts? Unsure
