In short
- Mohair shines in texture contrast: with silk, denim, leather.
- Cropped styles go with high waists; oversized with slim bottoms.
- Put a bright cardigan on a neutral base; style pastels tone-on-tone.
- Underneath: a fine top, a tee or a slip dress.
A mohair cardigan makes a simple outfit look expensive. Here are nine combinations that always work.
1. With straight jeans and a white tee
The weekend classic. A cropped cardigan, high-rise jeans, ballet flats or trainers, like our Sky and Lavender shots.
2. With a silk midi skirt
Fluffy mohair against fluid silk is the most elegant contrast. Add ankle boots.
3. Over a slip dress
The evening option: a powder or lavender cardigan over a satin dress.
4. For the office
A graphite or sky-blue cardigan, a blouse and straight trousers. Mohair softens a formal look.
5. Tone on tone
Beige turtleneck, beige cardigan, cream trousers: quiet luxury in its purest form.
6. A bright accent
A fuchsia, coral or green cardigan over a fully neutral base: white, beige, denim.

FAQ
Can I wear a mohair cardigan on bare skin?
Yes, kid mohair with silk is soft, but for sensitive skin a fine top is better.
What should I wear under a sheer cardigan?
A camisole, bralette, tee or dress, matching or contrasting.
Can mohair be worn with a puffer jacket?
Yes, but synthetic fabric can pull at the halo. A natural wool coat is kinder.
