With a thin weight that's easy to wear comfortably in the office, I picked three pieces: MARGESHERWOOD's crew neck cardigan in navy and grey, and the ribbed collar cardigan in black with its neat ribbed collar. All three come in understated, calm colors, making them great clothes to drape over the back of your chair and slip on lightly when you stand up. Button them all the way up and they look like neat pullovers, or leave them loosely unbuttoned to serve as outerwear that keeps the indoor chill away.
Librarian attire, once called the unstylish taste of bookworms, passed through the runways of fashion houses like Miu Miu and spread into a trend known as 'librarian core.' The textbook look is an intellectual pairing of a thin cardigan buttoned up to the neck with horn-rimmed glasses and loafers. People tired of flashy styles seem to have embraced into their daily lives even the posture of holding a single book and the calm ambiance of a library.
Seeing how it is welcomed on runways and in offices even before the wardrobe of someone guarding a library like me, few garments have such enduring utility as a cardigan. Instead of the neat round necks shown right now, shall we look for V-neck cardigans, or would you like to move on to cropped lengths or brighter colors? The option to first filter the price under KRW 150,000 is open as well.
↳ To V-neck cardigans
For V-neck cardigans, I picked MARGESHERWOOD's marge star cardigan in two colors: melange grey and melange brown. Thanks to the deep neckline, it's easy to layer over innerwear, and it's a garment accented with a star pattern over a quiet melange base. When browsing a list, a fresh patterned piece like this among solid-color cardigans often does a wonderful job of lightening the season's weight.
In the early 1920s, the Prince of Wales, Edward, stepped onto the field at the St Andrews Golf Links wearing a Fair Isle knit, which had been the workwear of fishermen from remote Scottish islands. In an era when a neat jacket paired with a shirt and tie was an unyielding rule of gentlemen, appearing in those colorful geometric patterns was a fresh visual shock, and university students and men who saw the newspaper photographs eagerly began copying it. A rough piece of cold-weather clothing from an outlying fishing village rose in an instant to become sophisticated sportswear and classic attire, all thanks to a single choice by the Prince of Wales.
A single pattern sitting on a garment can completely transform the entire landscape. Rather than this star pattern, shall we look at plain or solid-color ones, or would you like me to narrow the list to 100% wool materials or longer lengths?
↳ In plain or solid colors
I chose three tops that leave out patterns and bring out the texture of solid colors. They are MARGESHERWOOD's CASHMERE V-NECK PULLOVER in grey and black, along with the RIBBED COLLAR CARDIGAN_black with its neatly set collar. Clothes without patterns ultimately rely on the softness of the material and the knit of the yarn to make their statement.
In 1798, after his Egyptian campaign, Napoleon Bonaparte gave his wife Joséphine a high-end goat wool shawl from Kashmir. In high society back then, where women endured winter chills in thin dresses, Joséphine fell in love with this light and warm shawl and collected hundreds of them, sparking an acquisition frenzy across all of European aristocratic society and earning it the moniker 'gem of fibers.' The cashmere knits we casually slip on today also stand upon that lineage of glamorous fashion, when you think about it.
All three pieces on the list are fuss-free neutrals, making them easy to layer anywhere. Shall we narrow down the shape or fit further from here? Please let me know whether you'd like to go with a round-neck cardigan or see a roomy, loose-fit pullover.
