Frugal Friday’s Workwear Report: Modern Crewneck Cardigan

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

If I were building a business casual wardrobe from scratch right now, I think I’d be starting at Loft. Their Spring Sale is in full swing, and they have a whole bunch of classic pieces that will be great building blocks for a full wardrobe.

This cardigan, for example, is under $30, comes in six colors, and while it’s probably not going to be the most exciting item in your wardrobe, that also means that you can wear it once a week and no one is going to notice.

I like this “sugar plum” hue for a pop of color, but it also comes in black and navy if you want something a little less memorable. 

The sweater is $29.97, marked down from $49.95, and comes in sizes XXS-XXL.
