Sunny and Snow
As you know, February's weather was unpredictable. It seemed to be sunny and warm one day, but then the next it was snowing. This inconsistency got us thinking about the best ways to dress for a day like this.
Things are not looking too good.
To the point where we ultimately arrived at this conclusion:
We have to have a plan B. A fail safe.
And so, on days when the weather is like this, we're going to suggest you wear a cardigan. You don't need to necessarily tuck it in, but keep it close by in case you need an extra layer later in the day… or later that night. Cardigans are great for days like these because they're a lightweight jacket – or even better, they can be used as a layering piece under your real jacket later in the day if the weather calls for it. So, in case the weather calls for it.
We'd be lying if we said we never called for it as well. The weather was crazy. You could dress up, dress down... dress however you wanted!
For more info about cardigans, check out our favorites here .
The one thing we did know: In order to find this "plan B", we needed to use high quality fabrics and make sure they fit perfectly when worn with a button-up shirt and blue jeans.
And there you have it, our cardigan.
For today's look, we went with something a little different – a black one with a contrasting red band.
It has all the details you'd expect from a standard cardigan: pockets, 3/4 length sleeves, etc., and is made from 100% polyester that's as soft as it is warm. Plus, it goes with everything.
The best part about this cardigan? It goes with everything. Next time you're in the market for one of these classic pieces to add to your wardrobe, be sure to check out our selection of high quality cardigans here . They come in all different colors and fabrics and are absolutely essential for the unpredictable weather.
With that said, we're off to plan B.
A little bit more casual, but still good... the black cardigan with a big A!

The post with the next Uniqlo Styling Spotlight was supposed to go up yesterday, but I mistakenly published it with the wrong day. There's a technical reason for this. The site automatically reads and marks a submission as published when it's published on the day of release and not on the date of release itself. That said, if you reviewed yesterday's post before it was actually published, then you'll get to review today's post without reviewing yesterday's entry!
This is the corrected post. Stay tuned for our next great style find!
