Help! What cardigan to go with this dress?

I'm looking for a cardigan to go with this beautiful dress I've been gifted for my birthday. With the evenings still a little chilly I'd love a white cardigan to cover me up and keep me warm but have no idea what style will look good, please help?

Do you enjoy bright colours? You could pick up the orange in the dress.

Ooh that's pretty. I don't usually go colourful but I'm trying to be braver and more confident. Where is that from?

Gorgeous dress. It would be nice with a denim or leather jacket over it. Maybe a white denim jacket, if you're set on white?

I also second a white denim jacket

Thanks everyone. I'm looking around and may well go for a jacket and a cardigan so I've got a couple of options. Thankyou for your help!

I agree with Wynona. I'd go for colours. Cropped cardigan or like Wynona's suggestion and pick up any of the colours in the dress. That way you don't lose the focus on the dress , which a white cardigan or a white denim jacket would do.

Palava have beautiful, organic cotton cardigans.

A Palava cardigan is a good idea. Very cute!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/07/2023 17:52

Mostly though, I disagree re colours. Let the dress speak for itself imo.

I agree with that as well - the Palava cardigans, from experience, can either contrast with , or pick up colours from, the dresses. The pick up colours option doesn't drown the dress. It's still the dress which is the focus.

A white cardigan or a white denim jacket would become the focus.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/07/2023 18:09

We'll have to agree to disagree. Makes no sense to me that white would 'become the focus' but bright orange wouldn't.

I love that orange cardigan. And the Palava knits too. Gorgeous colours.

Really nice dress. I would look for a cropped cardi or denim jacket. The length is important!
