My husband told me he thinks cardigans are loungewear. I wear a cardigan almost every day (business casual client). Help! Thoughts on cardigans?? I have a lot - many oversized but on trend (Vince etc)

Cardigans in general are not loungewear. Is your husband fashionable? I would never take fashion advice from my fiancé

I really like my sweater blazer from JCrew it’s as comfortable as a cardigan but a bit more structured and put together imo

Cardigans are fine if they fit properly and are dressed up with slacks/skirt and nice shoes.

They are also awesome as lounge wear when worn with leggings/sweatpants and slippers. Damn versatile item.

I feel like cable knit is a bit more casual, but that's just my impression.

You know your client’s office dress/culture best and if it’s on the casual side go for it. Perhaps don’t wear it on dates with your husband since he’s not a fan lol.

I swap out of blazers to cardigans when I’m not in a big meeting or kickoff- they’re perfectly professional and work fine at the “day to day” at the client. I have some of those knit oversized cardigans that I reserve for weekends or casual days at home office, but as long as they have a nice fabric and a little bit of structure they look perfectly professional in my opinion.

I wear turtlenecks and tailored cardigans every day with pencil skirts or slacks. Not to the interviews, but to all other business and client meetings - formal or casual, with C levels or whatever. Never in 15 years anyone said anything.

I like Peruvian connection, they are expensive, but look great

If it’s fitted or structured, ok for more casual days; the knitted and slouchy ones don’t look very put together in my opinion. My husband gives me constructive feedback sometimes and I appreciate it, wouldn’t want to wear something that he finds unattractive even if it’s none of his business :) (sort of)

Can you share a link to what the cardigan looks like?

I like it and would wear it to client (depending on client and situation). Where did you get it?

I am 100% a cardigan person as well. Definitely not loungewear.

Thank you all!

Sweater blazers are a main staple in my wardrobe, and a great way to look professional...and be super comfortable. I have this in 5 colors
