The cardigan's (or at least that moniker) origin reportedly stretch back to the Crimean War and takes its name from the Earl of Cardigan, James Thomas Brudnell. The concept of a close knitted jacket, however, dates back further than that. No matter where it came from, it remains a mainstay of cold weather clothing year after year. It's undoubtedly a care-free sweater and is remarkably versatile. Stylistically-speaking it can be used to wrap up a t-shirt/ jeans combination in a breezy approach to casual layering, especially when it's left open. Conversely, button it up and wear it with a sport shirt, chinos and some Chelsea boots for a sleek and sophisticated look.
