Women’s cardigan: history of creation and distribution

It is said that warm sweaters of a similar fit were worn by fishermen in the 9th century. And in the 17th century, such clothes could already be seen worn by the common people of Great Britain and France.

Only in the 19th century, during the Crimean War, aristocrats started wearing cardigans. One of the cavalry brigade commanders insisted that the soldiers should always have an impeccable appearance. He offered to protect them from the cold using warm sweaters with buttons that should be worn under the uniform. The name of this commander is D.T. Brudenell, Earl of Cardigan.

Cardigans soon became famous and widely spread among the civilian population. These clothes were in particular demand among British teachers and students who had to sit for hours in poorly heated classrooms. Moreover, over time, cardigans have become part of the business dress code, although they are considered to belong to the smart-casual style. As you can see, it wasn’t long before this type of sweater was not only for men but fit perfectly into women’s wardrobes.

How cardigans became part of women’s fashion

Even in 1918, the legendary Coco Chanel introduced the women’s cardigan to the world of high fashion. She suggested sewing elongated models with a loose silhouette and patch pockets. It was customary to wear these cardigans with straight skirts.

Shorter models appeared during World War II. Rumor has it that this change in fashion was due to the rise in the price of wool. In Europe, this outerwear ended up at its peak of popularity in the 50s. At that time many models of various cuts and lengths appeared. And then women got the opportunity to choose a cardigan for any taste.
