Long cardigans are autumn/winter essentials because as well as being cosy and warm, they finish off an outfit perfectly. (Covering VPLs and bloated tummies is an added bonus!) This new cardigan* is a little unusual for me, in that the main colour is beige. Now normally I’m allergic to beige, and the mere prospect of a beige cardigan would have me running for the hills. However, I’d say this shade is veering towards camel rather than the pale and insipid beige that I’ve come to loathe. Plus, the sharp contrast of the white and bright green edging gives it a modern, fresh look.

Teaming the emerald green with neutral tones of beige, white and black gives it an autumnal feel…

My first thought when it came to styling the cardigan was to keep the outfit as colourful as possible. That led me to choosing these bright green trousers and pairing them with a geometric print top. Teaming the emerald green with neutral tones of beige, white and black gives it an autumnal feel while still staying true to my love of bright hues. To bring the colour scheme together I finished off the outfit with a hat to match the cardigan and a tan bag to add a warmer tone. Ironically, for a garment so comfortable this cardigan pushed me out of my colourful comfort zone. I never thought I would love wearing beige! I think my mum’s got her eye on this cardigan though so I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to hang on to it for!

Do you wear beige, and if so, how do you wear it? Do you find it a difficult shade to style? I’d love to know your thoughts!

    I wear beige/tan tones quite a lot and try to incorporate brighter colors like you did here! I love this bright green.

    I hope you are having a great week so far!

    The minute I opened this email, I was amazed at just how perfectly the cardigan goes with the top and the pants! I am not a big fan of beige, either, but the green and cream really work to draw your eye away from the beige! Thanks so much for the link up, Emma! Please feel free to link up with us on the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot!

    This beige cardigan isn’t boring indeed because of the green and white. And you styled it perfectly. But I think it will end up in your mother’s closet!

    This is not a boring cardigan by all means. Love the contrasting stripes along the edge and you styled it perfectly. If your mom wants it so much, let her have it :).

    Ha, I love beige (in fact I’m wearing it today) but understand how others might not. I think you styled it in a way that feels very true to your personal style!
