A cardigan is a type of sweater (or jumper) that ties, buttons or zips down the front. The cardigan was named after James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan, a British military commander, following his service in the Crimean War. It is usually machine or made woven from wool or cotton although cheaper ones may be partially acrylic. Cardigans are available for both genders.
Cardigans can be worn in several fashions. One can dress up very formal with cardigans. For example, one can wear a tie with a dress shirt underneath a cardigan (Adrian [on the right, upward] is sporting his cardigan in this fashion although his jeans and sneakers are very casual). One can also dress with a cardigan in a casual manner. Commonly cardigans are now being worn with graphic tees underneath. Vintage cardigans are also making a comeback these days (Chris [on the left, downward] is wearing a vintage female cardigan with a graphic tee underneath).
