As thin garments to block the office air conditioning breeze, I picked two colors, SILK-CASHMERE KNIT CARDIGAN (MIDNIGHT GREY) and SILK-CASHMERE KNIT CARDIGAN (CREAM), from RECTO. With silk and cashmere woven together, they block the chill well compared to their thin thickness, and the texture touching bare skin is smooth. It has a volume that's great to drape lightly over the back of your chair and slip on whenever you feel a chill.
When Willis Carrier first created the air conditioner in 1902, the purpose wasn't to cool people's heat. At a printing shop in Brooklyn, New York, paper expanded arbitrarily because of summer humidity, causing the print alignment to be off, so they asked Carrier to solve this. The technology meant to protect paper by cooling the air and wringing out moisture is what made office desks so chilly today.
From the list, you can choose between a calm dark tone and a bright cream tone. If you'd like to browse other options, we can narrow it down to cardigans in the KRW 100,000 range, or we could move on to a thick, roomy fit or other thin knit tops. Which side shall we look at first?
↳ To cardigans in the KRW 100,000 range
Since you were looking for cardigans in the KRW 100,000 range, I picked four bulky brushed wool cardigans from Centaur. They are prepared in four colors: sky blue, brown, grey, and pink. Because it's a bulky brushed wool material with a brushed surface to bring out warmth, the thick yet soft texture is lively.
It was Gabrielle Chanel who brought sweaters, which were originally close to men's military vests or rugged work clothes, into women's wardrobes. In the 1920s, Chanel really disliked how pulling a sweater over her head would mess up her carefully styled hair. So she boldly opened up the front of a men's sweater with scissors and added buttons to wear it draped like a jacket, and that practical chic became the beginning of the women's cardigans we wear today.
Centaur's cardigans also have a roominess that's great to lightly slip on with the buttons fastened or undone. Shall we look at the colors that give a bright accent first, or shall we first view the tones that are effortless and easy to reach for?
↳ To sky blue or pink
Sky blue is not on the list. Instead, from the pink you also pointed out, I picked Centaur's BULKY BRUSHED WOOL CARDIGAN. It's a garment where the thick texture is alive because of the bulky wool material that has soft fuzz raised by brushing the outer surface.
In the past in the West, completely contrary to today, pink was considered a boy's color and blue a girl's color. As an extension of red, which recalled red military uniforms and blood, pink was recommended for energetic boys, and blue, the holy robe color of the Virgin Mary, was the share of modest, calm girls. In the mid-20th century, as major American department stores launched commercial marketing to increase infant clothing sales, the perception flipped to how it is now.
Regardless of how history has changed, the cozy pink right in front of you is a delightful choice in itself. While we're at it, would you like to browse all cardigans, or should we narrow it down to under KRW 100,000 or calm colors?
