Cardigans are finally receiving the limelight they deserve. It's like when Leonardo DiCaprio couldn't seem to bag an Oscar for what felt like centuries, and kept getting nominated endlessly only to walk out annually in a never-ending, VICIOUS cycle empty-handed - and then to finally receive it in 2016 for 'The Revenant' (thank GOSH)! My point is, if you may - cardigans have always been the Leos in our wardrobes- we've been neglecting them for years and not fully appreciating just how much sartorial style, class and elegance they have to offer. Nonetheless, it all changed a few years ago when celebrities were papped wearing variants of the underrated, meagre cardie (remember Katie Holmes' revenge cardigan that sold out in a matter of mili-seconds?):

Since that iconic cardigan moment, we've been spoilt with a number of celebs showing us how to perfectly style, layer and weave in a simple, (previously boring) cardie into the perfect, head-turning outfit. How can we forget when Taylor Swift literally sent a bunch of 'Folklore' cardigans to a number of her celeb-besties?

Or how about the slinky, sexy new variant birthed by a number of millennial celebs (like Queen Bella, seen below): The Almighty Sexigan.

Ribbed Cardigan, £30 by Monki

This screams Bella Hadid to us; it's the perfect sexigan if you're a little chilly but not minus-4-degrees-chilly. Pair it with a bra, or skip the bra and live a little and give it the true Bella treatment. Show some of your gorgeous skin, but keep cosy!
