Dforget the usual oversized fit: how to match the cardigan with the belt becomes the new mantra of the season. A simple gesture, but capable of revolutionizing the great wardrobe classic, tightening the waist and giving character to even the most essential models. Here are five ideas trendy to be inspired by.
With the midi skirt
The belt on the bon ton cardigan. It is the most elegant combination, not surprisingly also spotted on the catwalk for the season.
With studs on a total black look
A solid color buttoned sweater can change your personality in an instant. Just add a belt with trendy studs to break up the linearity of knitwear and introduce a bold note.
On the animalier cardigan
When the cardigan is decorated with jacquard motifs, from the flagship Fair Isle in Winter 2026 to animalier, the belt at the waist serves to give a note of rigor to the look.
Mini dress version
Worn closed and cinched at the waist, the cardigan almost looks like a short dress. Below, shorts or culottes, coordinated or contrasting, complete the layering game.
Jewel on the knitted set
The jewel belt on the knitted set. On knitted cardigan and trouser suits, the jewel belt is the element that makes the difference. It inserts light, movement and visually lightens the whole, often perceived as “heavy”.
