How to Style Cardigans for Autumn, According to 6 It Girls

Right now, fashion people are separated into two camps: those who dread putting away all their favourite summer clothes and those who revel in the arrival of sweater weather. I, for one, am firmly in the latter category. I hate being a sweaty mess all summer, so I always look forward to fall's crisper weather. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that I have my birthday, Halloween, and Thanksgiving to look forward to.
I have an extensive cardigan collection, but sometimes, I'm tempted to throw them on with my basic white tees and jeans. Boring! Below, I rounded up six chic ways It girls are styling cardigans right now. I hope you come away inspired and ready to take on autumn.
1. With a Matching Skirt
No matter the season, we're always up for an easy co-ord.
