I have this amazing short sleeve cardigan I bought from New York & Company at the end of the summer last year. Since it was the end of the season, I didn’t wear it much. Now that the weather has shifted again, it has become my go-to layering piece. It’s so easy to add over my favorite sleeveless tops for the office. I started searching for another one, and found these all under $50!
At Eddie Bauer we found a boyfriend style short sleeve cardigan. San Juan Cardigan comes in 6 colors and regular, petite, tall, and plus sizes ranging in price from $39.50 to $44.50. We also found a boyfriend cardigan at Dillard’s. Antonio Melani “Talia” Knit Cardigan is $35.70 in persimmon.
A mix of print and lace makes this Lacey Back Cardigan a stand out piece all on it’s own. While this light weight Slub Long Cardigan is more versatile in light grey shade. Both styles were found at Free People for $49.95.
For a more airy feel we found this Pointelle Cardigan at Kohl’s, $36, and Dolman Pointelle Cardigan, $49.50, at The Limited. Both styles are available in black and white.
Layer Ruffled Open Front Cropped Sweater from Charlotte Russe over fitted tops. Add it to your work wardrobe for only $17. Or pick up a trendy bat wing cropped cotton cardigan from Esprit for $49.50, .
I love my short sleeve cardigan so much, I needed another one. Every women should have at least one of these in their work wardrobe for summer. They can take your summer blouses from casual to business casual in a flash.
