To close an open cardigan, you can use accessories like scarves or belts to create a defined look. These methods are mentioned in the reference "Other Options to Close an Open Cardigan, Kaftan or Kimono" as ways to create a slim silhouette.
Accessory Options for Closing Your Cardigan
Instead of traditional buttons or closures, consider these stylish alternatives:
- Use a Scarf as a Belt:
- One effective method is to wrap a scarf around your waist over the cardigan.
- To avoid creating bulk, the reference suggests instead of knotting the scarf (which would create bulk), you may close the fake belt with a large brooch after doing a half knot.
- This creates the appearance of a belt while using a soft accessory.
- Accessorize with Belts:
- Another straightforward option is to use a regular belt.
- Simply wrap a belt around your waist over the cardigan and fasten it.
- This instantly cinches the waist and closes the front of the cardigan.
These techniques provide practical ways to style and close an open-front cardigan, giving it a more fitted or structured appearance without relying on built-in closures.
