Cardigans are my favorite piece when it comes to work wear. I wear them almost every day and I may own them in every color possible. Cardigans are a great way to add casual pieces to your formal outfit. Throw on a basic tank with a cardigan, voila! you have your outfit ready for work.

Apart from regular gray and black colors, light blue is the most worn cardigan in my closet. The pastel blue color beautifully goes with both neutral and bold shades. The soft hue when paired properly can be stylish.

My favorite place to buy cardigans is J.crew Factory. Apart from that, I love Loft, ModCloth, and Old Navy. The light blue cardigan I’m wearing in this post is from J.crew factory exactly this style but they don’t have them in light blue anymore. I have linked similar ones below

10 Ways You Can Wear a Light Blue Cardigan to Work
