How did it fit: Comfortably. It wasn’t tight but not oversize.

How did you style it: All the way buttoned, top to bottom, for the cozy but sleek vibe. I paired it with a Frankie Shop leather jacket, oversize slacks, and a little white tee underneath. This cardigan is so versatile, I could wear it a million ways. —Emma Oleck, fashion market editor

How did it fit: True to size, but it relaxes the longer you wear it. It was very comfortable and didn’t make me sweaty.

How did you style it: Despite normally having a deep-seated hatred for the color blue, I’ve been inspired by baby blue and red together this winter and felt like the time was right for me to act on this vision. When I get dressed on most occasions, I tell myself a narrative, especially when I’m not going somewhere specific like a party or event where the dress code feels clearer. The story I told myself was that I was a woman with a clear sense of self, perhaps one who lives in Copenhagen or Paris or inside a Nora Ephron film from the late ’90s — think Parker Posey in You’ve Got Mail on her way to a casual holiday party, one where she doesn’t intend to stay late but definitely wants to make an appearance. I built the outfit around this make-believe version of myself, this character, coupled with clothes that make me feel comfortable IRL outside of this imaginary realm: a flouncy Madewell skirt with pockets, a light Dôen tank underneath that would work on its own if I got hot and needed to take the cardigan off, pointed-toe kitten heels (in case I need to make a run for it), and a funky Ganni beret, because why the hell not? —Danya Issawi, fashion news writer
