A Cardigan? Sexy!? Jennifer Lawrence Would Say So

During the winter months, the simple cardigan is the atlas of our wardrobes, holding our outfits on our weary shoulders. But when summer begins, the holy grail sweater gets put back in its drawer, where we hope moths won’t find it before next winter.

According to Jennifer Lawrence, it ends now. Today, the actor reclaimed the cardigan as a summer staple while in New York with her husband, Cook Maroney. The actor created an outfit balance by pairing Lacet’s teal mock-neck cardigan with a foldover waist with light white pants and brown sandals. A city-slicker with a boho bent, Lawrence added a pair of sleek sunglasses and a floppy floral tapestry bag.

For anyone looking to take a cue from Lawrence’s new take on sweater season, consider two key elements: The vibrant teal hue is a welcome alternative to the darker shades we wear in the winter. And, while the colder months mandate that a cardigan be buttoned up, the warmer weather allowed the actor to wear it open, with its neckline offering a glimpse of sex appeal.

So, before you take off all your winter clothes for summer, ask yourself, What will Jennifer Lawrence do? Go ahead, break out the summer cardigan.
