The burgundy cardigan outfit, piece by piece.

A third shoppable look: tap any numbered marker on the photo, or any card beside it, to open that piece. Four pieces that lean on layering instead of a coat, for the days that are cool indoors and out.

The collared shirt under a crewneck cardigan is the oldest layering trick there is, and it still does the most work: the collar and cuffs peeking out give a plain knit some structure without adding bulk.

Burgundy is the reason this reads as an outfit rather than a default. It sits comfortably with black trousers and with denim, so one cardigan covers more days than a neutral one would.

Wide-leg trousers with a block-heel boot keep the line long and the walking easy. If you prefer flats, the same four-piece formula works with a loafer — just check the hem clears the shoe.
