Cardigans will forever be a staple but I remember the first time they were an actual trend in my lifetime. It was during secondary school. I was 12, 13, 14? Back then cardigans were brightly coloured reds, yellows and purples (colour blocking was also a thing). They were either worn belted or open over your school shirt during the week or over your trusty Primark vest top on the weekend. If you really wanted to to be on trend, you had to make sure that you had matching laces in your hair or your shoes (preferably converses).

Ten years later they back but in warm beiges and pastel colours and I heard the best way to wear it is as a top, a clear nod to the '90s. I'm personally loving this trend because you take this in so many directions.  You can go down the Clueless route and channel your inner Cher and Dionne or you could take it down the more elegant and mature route. I chose the later. I love how flowy this midi skirt is and how softly it glides against my skin, it's the perfect summer staple. 

Another great thing about cardigans is that just like 10 years ago they are still dirt cheap in Primark and are (of course) available in every colour.
