According to Meghan Brazzelle, senior account executive at Atlanta-based Boxercraft, embellishments are a great way to “bring an extra element to any logo.” However, as you might expect, they don’t necessarily work for everyone.

However, when it comes to buttondowns, make sure the shirt already skims curves. The idea here is to accent the middle. This shirt, for example, has darts on both the front and the back so there won’t be any unflattering bunching or bulging.

However, since this is a fashion blog, let’s focus solely on the shell-and-cardigan combo. Cardigans are such a wardrobe treasure, I think I might have one in every color. They’re seasonless. In the summer, when the office air conditioning is set to below-zero temperatures, a cardigan is the perfect way to cover up and stay comfortable. And in the winter, thinner layers are always preferable to bulky sweaters.
