In case you haven't heard, this season is all about the red cardigan. Easy, wearable and making just enough of a bright statement, red cardigans are the perfect place to start if you're trying to get used to styling the bold shade. As influencers, celebrities and editors have flocked to secure themselves the perfect red cardigan, high-street and designer brands alike have delivered them in spades, offering cashmere, wool and fine-cotton iterations to suit our preferences. The best of the lot? Well, if you ask anyone in the Who What Wear UK team, they'll send you straight to the Reformation website and implore you to scoop up the Clara Cashmere Crew Cardigan in the shade Cherry.
The pure cashmere composition imparts a delightfully supple feel on the skin for comfortable styling and easy layering. Worn buttoned all the way or partly open for a little exposed décolletage, the crew-neck cardigan has a relaxed finish for easy wearability. The perfect accompaniment to your favourite pair of jeans, you'll quickly find yourself reaching for this simple red cardigan more often than not.
