Can You Wear a Cardigan as a Wedding Guest?
For a wedding guest outfit, a cardigan layers polish over your look without reading as too casual — the key is choosing elevated pairings that honor the formality of the event. Pencil Skirt and Cardigan together create a refined silhouette appropriate for ceremony and reception, while Structured Tote adds the kind of intentional detail that keeps the combination wedding-ready rather than workwear.
