Apparently our favourite clothing piece, CARDIGAN, is a key piece of almost every ensemble of the First Lady and more often than not she wears it well. The First Lady has brought back the cardigan back on the fashion map with a modern elegance. In fact, her style is so closely associated with carigans that her wax figure at Madame Tussauds is also dressed in a cardigan. A cardigan with pushed-up sleeves over a sleeveless dress or a simple blouse has become a signature look of the First Lady.
Michelle Obama has an extensive range of cardigans in various styles and colours including brights, beaded and neutrals that helps her to dress up or down depending on the cardgan style.
Dressing the Cardigan
Durig her visit to a school, Mrs Obama wore a sapphire blue Jason Wu dress and Junya Watanabe cardigan accessorised with her customary pearl strands. For Easter Services, she opted for a subtle floral v-neck sheath dress from Peter Soronen and a cream cardigan, which she again understatedly accessorised with pearl strands.

Embellishments and Mint
Michelle Obama exuded effortless chic in a jacquard mint-green pencil skirt and an embellished cream cardigan, both from the label J. Crew, that she wore at her visit to 10 Downing Street (residence of Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown). She accessorised her outfit with kitten-heeled animal-skin-print shoes and her signature pearls. Her embellished cream cardi was the perfect choice to liven up her outfit.

With cardigans, you can create multiple looks or brighten up your outfit or simply save yourself from the chill. You can go sleeveless and then cover up, dress up or down depending on the occasion and the weather. Wear a bright coloured sweater over a simple LBD and add some chunky accessories to revamp your dress or just wear it over a simple white shirt for a new look to the office.

It's one practical style solution that you can wear with just about anything and anywhere.
