Thank you all for the nice comments! It makes me feel accomplished, knowing the high standards of the forum.

Technically, yes, you could come up with a lot of variations. But like db said, I believe having all the buttons closed is probably how it should be worn.

I can send you a PM tomorrow with photos of different button combinations so you can judge for yourself.

Alright, I just feel that there's potential to play around with the silohoutte and it wouldn't hurt to try (but then again you own the cardigan so you probably know best).

It's a little hard to say without actually seeing it in person (and getting a feel for the way the knit behaves), but I think Lel's probably right. It's a cool piece (and this is coming from someone who generally detests the cardi fad), and I think it may be more versatile than you realize. Can't hurt to try, in any case.

Feel ****** today, easy outfit.

Is that a hoodie? I feelt like the outfit could work, if you want to go for the whole "heroin addict I-just-finished-*******-Kate-Moss" look but it looks like the hoodie and tee-shirt are a little loose for that (but it may just be the pose).

^drizz, for some reason, that pose makes your clothes look better. (as opposed to just standing there with limp arms)

Yeah, that's the look. T-shirt is pretty tight, also slightly pink. The hoodie is by Basecontrol Japan, it's loose and drapey, which is what I wanted for the look.

Reject pictures, for a better idea of fit.

These are three variations. They should give you a general idea:


1. Upper and lower pair unbuttoned:

2. Upper pair unbuttoned:

3. Lower pair unbuttoned:

I have to mention one thing, however - this particular cardigan lets you button the inner buttons inwards, as opposed to both buttons outwards. That is, the inner button has two fronts, of which one is hidden behind the flap. It's possible that the variations you think of would would look better with a standard buttoning, since with this type of cardigan you get a glaring "eye" between the buttons which is pretty distracting.

That's a much nicer fit imo that some of your other pics... also, kudos on the change of posture. The new posture makes your clothes look a lot better!
