Topman Double-Breasted Cardigan

There are two parts to spring cleaning. The first and most boring task is going through your wardrobe, picking out anything that you consider winter-only wear and finding a place to store it until next autumn.

The next step in spring's cathartic process is reviving your closet with warm-weather-friendly apparel. Swapping your thick wool or cashmere sweaters for less insulating apparel like this cotton cardigan from Topman is the perfect way to anticipate the easy living that lies ahead. This piece in particular symbolises spring’s more laid-back vibe, though it's still sophisticated enough to function as work wear.














 

With its deep V-neck and fitted yet non-constrictive shape, Topman's double-breasted cardigan captures the essence of dressing up while dressing down. This concept of relaxed refinement also plays into spring's penchant for all things.
















A super-simple cut and a neutral hue make this cardigan a great match for all your warm-weather tops and bottoms. In fact, these two factors alone will ensure this item is on heavy rotation in your closet all through  spring (and summer) 2010.

What makes this cardigan less durable, however, is that it's made from machine washable cotton, which means that slowly but surely this piece will lose its shape and the colour will wane. Additionally, though this piece is useful for stylishly pulling together casual spring looks, it can't be worn for more formal occassions,  even if it is double-breasted. A reasonable price tag, however, makes this piece a smart short-term purchase.
