Comfort Zone
On an average week, I'd say I wear a cardigan five out of seven days—and I'm not just talking about during the colder months. I tend to prefer really basic, simple cardigans in solid colors and soft cashmere, though on occasion I wish I had something that's just as cozy but slightly more dressed up ... something like this cashmere and silk sweater by new designer Dorothy Lee. It's got super-feminine details (lace trim, an Empire waist, and tiny ruffles on the sleeves), but they're tempered by a cool, modern, black-and-cream palette. And the overall effect is at once statement-making and somehow subtle, so I could see wearing this, well, almost every day.
