Tuesday’s Workwear Report: Windowpane Open Cardigan

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

I really like the look of this open-front cardigan from Brooks Brothers. I think the lack of buttons makes it lay nicely, and the contrasting white interior provides a little something extra.

I would wear this with my typical winter uniform of a black sweater tee and black trousers. Maybe I could consider adding a little color once the sun stops setting before 5 p.m.

The sweater is on sale for $142.80 (marked down from $238) at Brooks Brothers and comes in sizes XXS-XL. 

It's in a different style, but this windowpane cardigan from By Design is available in sizes 1X-3X for $39.97 at Nordstrom Rack.
