Ask Elyse: In the Cards

Dear Elyse,

I'm looking for that clothing piece that will help shift my wardrobe from winter to spring without too much trouble. Can you offer any ideas?

Thanks,
Denise

Dear Denise,

The item you're looking for is hands-down the cardigan. Now before you assume that cardigans are just for women with older tastes, consider all the fun new styles coming out like the military, grandfather or collegiate style cardigans. There's a look for everybody these days. The cardigan is a great transitional piece - lightweight and easily layered, but substantial enough to keep the last patches of cold weather at bay.

Hope this helps,
Elyse
