Top Ten Summer Steals: #5 J. Crew Toggle Cardigan

If you’re in New York reading this, you might scoff at the idea of a sweater right now. However, not all days are in the upper 90′s–and especially not all nights. If you find yourself out on the beach frequently you should be prepared for some chilly nights where a t-shirt just won’t cut it. Sure a hoodie might warm you up, but how about upping the style ante? We really love this linen/cotton toggle cardigan by J. Crew because it’s a great piece that is halfway between a sweater and a jacket. This makes it ideal to throw on over something else and the material will solve your temperature issues without causing overheating.

Cardigan in Charcoal Grey

While we highly recommend this piece for the summer, the real value you’ll get from it is that it won’t leave your clothing rotation at any point during the year. Sure, a linen blend isn’t the most classic of winter fabrics, but it’s something you can wear over an oxford shirt on a warmer winter day or beneath a peacoat on a colder one. A unique layering piece is something that has become harder and harder to come by, so when you have the opportunity to pick one up in the double-digits, we suggest you jump.
