Gone are the days when cardigans were reserved for the Mr. Rogers of the world — the button-down sweater is now a certified layering piece for the fashion elite. Acne Studios has come through with a new cardigan design as a part of its AW21 collection. At first glance, it may come across as a monochromatic offering with little flair. What gives this piece its edge, however, are the contrasting buttons and three fully functional pockets on the front. Don’t think you have to wear the sweater with a shirt and tie. You can have fun experimenting with this cardigan, even pairing it with shorts if you’re feeling particularly adventurous.
