Hi,

I'm thinking to try out cardigan, maybe 2 cardigan and one shawl collar cardigan. However, I'm undecided, which color to go for. Since, I feel grey and navy might be too boring? Or should I get a grey or navy, but get another fun color like burgundy or green?

As for shawl collar I'm debating whether to go with beige or ivory?

Thank you for your advices.

Start basic and make sure you like them first.

So you recommending me to get one basic color and try it out then extend the color pallets? If so, should I get a navy or grey for more versatility (even though both are good)

I'd probably try a navy cardigan first. Or maybe deep burgundy if you prefer red or it suits your wardrobe better.

I agree to start simple and expand. An ivory shawl collar cardigan might scream "new money douche" if not paired properly.

Thanks, right now I'm debating whether I should get grey or navy... like I have plenty of blue pattern shirts or blue shirt, but have grey pants and light khaki. Any advice?
