Embellished and Sequin Cardigans: How to Wear the Evening Knit

An embellished cardigan is a fine wool knit worked with crystals, sequins and beads. It is the easiest evening layer there is: warm, soft and dressy at once, and it goes over a slip dress as easily as over a white shirt. Dice Kayek makes some of the best, cropped and neat in black, navy and grey. Coveti has 9 embellished knits from the house now. Here is how to wear one.

Key facts

• What it is: a fine knit cardigan embellished with crystals, sequins and beads.
• Why it works: it is warm and soft, and it dresses up anything.
• Best fabric: fine 100% wool, light enough to wear indoors.
• Wear it with: a slip skirt, a white shirt, tailored trousers, jeans.
• At Coveti: 9 Dice Kayek embellished knits, $1,500 to $1,690.

Sequin cardigans and crystal cardigans

A sequin cardigan catches the light all over and reads as party wear; a crystal cardigan has stones placed in a pattern, so it looks quieter and works by day too. Both are best on a fine wool base, which is warm without bulk. The Dice Kayek knits do both: sequins on black wool, crystals scattered on black, navy and grey.

For evening

Buttoned up and worn as a top, tucked into a satin skirt. With a slip dress, worn open over the shoulders. A black crystal cardigan is the evening answer to a jacket in a warm room.

For the day

Over a white poplin shirt with the collar out, the way Dice Kayek layers it. With straight jeans and a loafer. With a pleated wool skirt.

Colour

Black is the evening one. Navy is softer and works with denim. Grey with crystals reads quieter by day.

Fit

The Dice Kayek cardigans are cut neat and cropped, in S, M and L. The house guide puts M at a UK 10 to 12. For a looser line over a shirt, take the next size. See the size guide.

Care

Dry clean, and store it folded rather than hung so the knit keeps its shape. Keep it clear of rough surfaces, bag straps and velcro, which catch on the embellishment.
