It doesn't look awkward at all; it's the most fitting combination to wear right now. A cropped cardigan that ends at the waistline and a pleated mini skirt with lightly flaring pleats draw the eyes upward, creating an ideal balance that makes your legs look longer. In line with that style, we've picked MARGESHERWOOD's CREW NECK CARDIGAN_grey and INSILENCE's 슬림 컷오프 가디건 GREY, along with THREE TO EIGHTY's RIBBON KNOTTED MINI SKIRT BLACK and RIBBON KNOTTED MINI SKIRT M.GREY, which pair wonderfully underneath. This silhouette, blending neatness and liveliness, catches the eye especially often these days as preppy looks return to the streets.
In the movie Clueless, the look of Cher Horowitz pulling up white knee-high socks with a tone-on-tone cardigan in the same color layered over a yellow tartan check pleated mini skirt remains a textbook example of 1990s teen preppy style. Her friend Dionne also layered a vivid red cardigan over a black-and-white check two-piece, completing the sensible attire of upper-class girls. This way of adding a pop of a cardigan to a neat uniform silhouette remains an attractive styling formula even today, decades later.
Calming the tone down with achromatic colors like the combinations we've chosen and lightly adding loafers or socks lets you pull it off without looking overdone. Shall we expand the cardigan colors to other tones from here, or narrow them down to a price range under KRW 100,000?

Looking at the deep khaki color brings to mind the origin of this hue. In the mid-19th century, Harry Lumsden, a British army officer on the Indian border, began rubbing river mud and brewed tea water into his clothes instead of wearing conspicuous white uniforms that easily caught dirt. Khaki, derived from the Urdu word khak meaning dust, greatly raised soldiers' survival rates and established itself as the standard camouflage color for militaries worldwide.
Though it began from muddy water, today it has become a staple color that blends naturally into any outfit. We've gathered everything from vivid primary colors to subtle shades. Among these, shall we narrow the price down under KRW 100,000, or first sort out only the V-neck cardigans?
