H&M's party-ready Christmas cardigan is a hidden gem
With Christmas party season now underway, our eyes are peeled for hidden fashion gems that could add that last-minute festive flourish to our outfits. One such diamond can be found at H&M, in the form of an understated cardigan with subtle sparkle, and it's currently still available in all sizes.
The hero piece in question is crafted from a dense knit for more of a structured, jacket-style shape, which feels more elevated than your cosy slouchy cardis. It comes in two colourways – black and ivory – with both styles featuring shiny silver beads or glistening pearls respectively, down the front as buttons and as pretty pocket-flap embellishments.
"Really flattering top, lots of compliments" wrote one happy buyer, while another praised its "lovely quality". So, this is one seasonal purchase you're unlikely to need to return, especially as it's not so overtly 'Christmassy' that you couldn't continue wearing it to all manner of events all year, even as an evening cover-up in summer.
For the festive period, try it with satin, sequin or silver trousers, or as a warm layer over a silky slip dress. Just add heels and glittering statement earrings and you're all set for a lowkey, cool-girl look that exudes stylish sophistication. Or, to dress it down, pair it with your favourite pair of jeans and some ballet pumps or slingbacks, because 'jeans and a nice top' is always a good idea.
