How can I wear cardigans without looking like Grandma Moses? We all love the classic simplicity of cardigans, but they can be tough to work into fresh "now" looks.

Step One
This question seems to have a lot of easy answers for a lot of you out there. Jeans seem to be the obvious answer and yes, jeans do look chic with a good cardigan. However, there are so many other fun "out of the box" ideas. Cardigans can be worn over tank tops (long or short), polo shirts, western style 'cowgirl' shirt. They look snazzy with corduroy pants, jeans, skirts. That's what's fun about the cardigan, they are very versatile. Think layers when you want to be chic and comfy. Go with simplicity when you want elegance and sexiness.
Don't be afraid of wearing your cardigans nice and snug. A tighter fit adds a subtle touch of "sexy" to this otherwise demure look. Push up the sleeves with your under shirt sleeves long, wear it with the buttons buttoned unevenly, throw it on over a collared shirt, wear them with a thick patent or leather belt around the outside.
Hang on to your old cardigans! There is nothing better than a broken in old cashmere cardigan and your favorite skirt or jeans.

Step Two
A simple black cashmere looks oh so good with a pair of your favorite ripped up jeans and a few chunky Chanel style necklaces. The black is so great for an evening look as well. Who wants to wear some big heavy coat on a cool spring or summer evening when a simple black cardigan will do just fine? Throw it on over your cocktail dress and you're good to go!
We loved the whole Gap/Sara Jessica Parker thing with the two or three groupings of vintage brooches. Spice it up and wear your brooch near higher up on the collar or wear smaller brooches as buttons. Think about wearing a smaller "mourning brooch" on one of the cuffs or at the hem of a fitted cardigan.
Cardigans are for the most part long sleeved tops, so bracelets aren't generally needed.

Step Three
You can wear cardigans anywhere. They work really well when worn to school, work, and any other casual enviroment. They say they are generally unsuited for formal events, but a dressier cardigan (for example, one with sequins) can be paired with a dress or nice skirt.
