If you’ve been following me for a while then you know one thing is true… I LOVE finding pieces that can be used in a multitude of ways. And this cardigan is no exception.

I recently stopped into to Cleveland’s WKYC Channel 3 studios to share some Valentine’s day outfit inspiration (click here to see that segment.) But before I hopped on the air, digital anchor, Stephanie Haney and I chatted about how to inexpensively make a statement with your outfit.

That’s wear this unique cardigan comes in. It’s made by a brand called Nic + Zoe which can be found on Zappos or Amazon. The amazing part of it is that it was designed to be worn multiple ways.

Look #1: Open

First you’ll see me wear the cardigan as you normally would- down and open. While it has a similar construction of a typical “teacher” cardigan, I like that it has a waterfall front to it instead of a straight button down style. It gives you that same look but in a more stylish way.

Look #2: Wrap

Next you’ll see how I quickly transformed the cardigan from open to a wrap cardigan. Even though this is a special feature of the cardigan itself, I do feel you could recreate this at home if you have a short cascading front cardigan too. All you would need to do to DIY it yourself is sew on two small buttons and make two small slits in the bottom of the cardigan front panels. (watch the video to get a better idea of what I’m saying.)

Look #3: Bolo

After that, I then showed how you could take those front panels and simply tie them in a knot- bolo style. The bolo style sweater was HUGE in the early 2000s… and who doesn’t like a throwback?

Look #4: Twisted Tie

The last way to wear this cardigan is actually a way I’ve never tried before so we’ll refer to this picture above.

It looks like a twisted tie look, which would require rolling either end of the front panels and then hooking them on to their respective buttons.

If you like this and the bolo look then I recommend sizing up because I did not have enough fabric to make these happen.
