14. Classic Cardigan and High-Waisted Trousers

The timeless combo of a fitted cardigan and high-waisted trousers offers both comfort and polish for any agenda. Button up the cardigan for a clean, office-ready appearance, then wear it open over a camisole for a more relaxed, evening look. Cropped cardigans emphasize your waist and pair beautifully with wide-leg pants, while longline styles create an elongated silhouette—giving you options to play with proportion and style from desk to dinner.
