Thank you for this video. My sweater wardrobe is hanging behind you. Just swap out the green for a burgundy and gray. I'm so glad to see that I am not the only one who wears basic cardigans. I was starting to feel passe because most people don't bother to "try" to dress nicely anymore (US). I love to wear a cardigan and a scarf, makes an instant outfit. P.S. I love your channel. It's refreshing and different than other channels.

I enjoyed how you opened all the possibilities cardigans offer. I like the idea of toning down , or perking up an outfit using a cardigan. I especially enjoyed your cream-colored cardigan's lovely texture. That is not so common in the cardigans I see, and I think it definitely sets it apart from others, making it special, and an easy way to dress up your outfit! I appreciate my cardigans uses now that I've seen your video.

@@TippyPuddles I adore anything linen and have often found "new with original tag" linen clothes at thrift stores for three or four dollars, and they would be so expensive retail! My wild guess is that it has to do with "hand wash, line dry only". People see that tag, perhaps too late; and find they can't be bothered. Machine wash and dry only, or out it goes! I love linen so much that I would not even want to put it in the dryer if I could... ;-) Probably the same with your nice sweaters. People don't want to make the extra effort.

I just want to respond to a comment I saw here in response to a comment about Land's End's cashmere cardigans. I ordered one in a gorgeous blackberry color. However, the buttonhole side was backed with grosgrain ribbon, with tight buttonholes, making it very hard to button. Also instead of mother of pearl buttons, they substituted plastic (ugh!) buttons. I have a lovely black cardigan I ordered from Land's End before the company was bought out by Sears. That cardigan was very well made with none of the cheap cost-saving measures Sears is using now. I returned the blackberry cardigan and am now looking on eBay for better quality cardigan sweaters. Sorry if I'm ranting, but I hate to see a company's quality go down, and I wanted to let the petite cardigan wearer know about Land's End quality where cashmere cardigans is concerned.

I'm a sweater and jacket collector. I can't seem to help myself as they are so handy to just pop on over a dress or top and they really add some style. I've now started acquiring blazers but all have come from the thrift store as I love the idea of a blazer and how they look on you and other influencers but I'm not sure how they will be on me. All of my sweaters, jackets, and blazers are natural fabrics. I'm amazed at what you can find in really good condition in the second hand stores.

You’ve so eloquently described the understated style that French women prefer, might you speak to how style does evolve in France? I do also love cardigans. The comment you made was French women prefer following style versus fashion? Although I do agree with “classic “ style, when a style trend appeals to my sense of personal style I will adopt. I also prefer to be a trend setter not a trend follower. For me it’s all about what style suits me. I suppose this is more of an American viewpoint.
