Cashmere cardigans come in so many different styles. Designers have started to produce a ton of different colors, trends and fashions. Below are a few of the cutest styles and trends.

Fuschia cashmere cardigan

Fuschia or pink cardigans

This is one of the latest new trends. Fuschia or the hot pink color is being seen everywhere. People are saying that it is partly because it is a bright, fun color. In this depressing economy with job losses and less income everywhere, fuschia is making a great splash. Even men are wearing this color and putting it in their outfits whether in the form of a tie or a handkerchief or in the design of their shirts. Having a fuschia cashmere cardigan is a great way to brighten up your wardrobe and to stay within the current trend.  If you think it is too bright, pair it with more neutral colors underneath to tone it down.  Jeans, black leggings, a white t-shirt, or black tank will all help to tone it done.  Another trick is to add a neutral scarf and not to wear it buttoned up, but to leave it unbuttoned.

Loose cardigan

Finally, another style that has hit the streets is the loose cardigan that is open in the front.  It doesn’t have any buttons, but instead drapes across the front of your chest in a very elegant and flattering way.  Women are wearing these to the office and to go out at night.  You can wear it tied to the back or draped in front.  Sometimes, some of the drapes are longer, although usually they drape shorter in the back.  This is a great style for anyone looking for an item that is not constricting and can be quickly thrown over their clothes.  It can be worn with lots of different outfits, even your wedding shoes, although make sure the item you wear underneath is not bulky.  Even petite women can wear this, although if you are petite, don’t buy something that is too long.  Also, the loose fabric in front can be a lot of fabric or less fabric.  Look for something where there is less fabric in front, otherwise it can be overwhelming.

Ruffled, cap or kimono sleeves

Another trend is the different sleeves that are showing up on various cardigans. The sleeves are shorter and there are ruffles at the sleeves. Some are even kimono sleeves and fall out in a bell shape, similar to how jeans flare out. The sleeves flare out and drape the arms rather than hug the arms. These new trends make the cardigans a lot more comfortable since they free your arm movement. Also, for petite women, the shorter sleeves work perfectly since the cardigan sleeves are not too long and you won’t have to get them altered.
