I have a larger chest, 36C, and I find that cardigans look extremely frumpy. I can do tailored blazers, but I have tried and tried with cardigans and just can’t seem to make it work. I think cardigans are best for small chested women, especially if you’re wearing them with a button down shirt.

In reply to LawyrChk. 100% agreement about the classic button down shirt. They just never look "right" on me either and become frump in about 10 minutes. I don't know how women manage to look sharp and pulled together in them. And if I try tucking them in I look about 20 pounds heavier!

New poster, long time lurker. Is there a forum where all you sharp ladies go to to give advice to clueless, frumpy messes like me? I need that web address!

In reply to E. You should try the silk long underwear. I live in Maine now (and grew up in Chicago). I am always cold, even sometimes with the long underwear. So I don't think you'd have to worry about getting too hot and having to remove them. Except in the summer. Air conditioning is the worst. I interned in the Loop one summer and I was freezing in the office and I baked while going out to get lunch with my friends.

In reply to Ashley. Me too, and I'm tall. I wish that trend would die.

In reply to MegB. I agree. I have one too, but mine is black. I got it last year on clearance and it's awesome. I practically won't get on a plane without it.
