My Favorite Dresses Look Brand-New When I Add This Parisian Staple
While much of the fall season in Paris is marked by heavy rain, I got lucky on my recent trip and spent a lot of my time in the city seeing bright blue skies and watching happy Parisians put on their first cold-weather dresses of the season. When I think about November fashion, my mind immediately goes to a cozy cardigan or a maxi dress—how smart the French are for pairing the two together.
My favorite thing about this outfit formula is that it has a way of making a dress that you've worn again and again feel brand-new. I'm fortunate to have an overstuffed closet filled with items that I absolutely love, so instead of continuing to find new things to buy, I've spent my time lately restyling my favorites from the past. Below, find 25 cardigans and dresses you're going to want to wear together.
If you're interested in emulating a librarian-inspired vibe, styling a cardigan with a good dress just might be the best place for you to start on your journey. Cool glasses and braids are how I'd style it.
The cinched waist and peplum hem make this one of the most flattering cardigans.
Don't underestimate the power that an oversize slouchy cardigan and maxi dress can give you. It's the definition of effortlessly chic and, even better, feels like wearing a blanket.
I feel like Zara is in the lead when it comes to dress-and-cardigan offerings.
Any sort of unexpected styling pulls me in, and I love the clashing prints and vibrant colors in this look. This is an area of experimentation that has no limits, so combine the unexpected when you're styling your cardigan and see what happens.
This would look so chic with a black cardigan and sheer tights.
I can't get enough of the leopard-print trend.
If you're looking for a classic and timeless French-girl approach, this look just might be it. A pointelle cardigan and slip dress will always have people greeting you with "bonjour."
