This fall, the cardigan sweater has broken away from its preppy, straight-laced beginnings and is being donned in modern styles by fashionable ladies and gents. Easily paired with skirts (or slacks) for work or with jeans for relaxing, it's the perfect attire for those almost-cold fall days. Wear the Cricket Style by Vince ($215, Cottage Chic, 1232 East Blvd., 704-375-1888) with your favorite denim, or, for a more dressed-up look, try Peter Som's ruffled cardigan ($850, Neiman Marcus, SouthPark, 704-442-7900). Stripes and patterns add flavor to the Log Cabin Wrap Cardigan by Vince ($389, Fresh, 813 Providence Rd., 704-343-9071), and voluminous sleeves give an unexpected twist to Left on Houston's Brownstone sweater ($123, The Pink Hanger, 2935 Providence Rd., Suite 103, 704-366-7272). Gentlemen, you, too, can try this trend. Pair Ferragamo's Notte cardigan ($870, Neiman Marcus) or Geoffrey Beene's Button Front Cotton ($65, Belk, SouthPark, 704-364-4251) with a tie and collared shirt for an updated look. Or sport the Cold Method Black cardigan ($98, Black and Blue, 720 Governor Morrison St., Ste. E180, 704-366-9339) with your favorite tee and broken-in jeans for the weekend.
