FAQ for Tween Girls & Their Parents
How do I style cardigans for school?
Cardigans are like little style chameleons! Layer them over dresses (like the plaid smocked one) or tees and leggings. You can wear them buttoned or open. Pair with sneakers for everyday wear, or add ankle boots for something a bit more dressed-up.
