Ward off fall's chill with a tribal-print cardigan

In terms of wardrobing ease, it’s easy to see why so many of us buy up cardigans by the dozen. They provide a removable second layer for those transitional seasons, they make that lovely-but-too-bare cami instantly work appropriate, they spiff up an otherwise boring jeans and t-shirt ensemble. Despite all these options, however, sometimes they just feel a little too boring. Before you pick up one more basic cardi this season, stop and take a look at tribal-print styles like the ones featured below. Worn with jeans and boots, they’re warm and earthy. Pair them with coated denim and heels for a rocker-esque, chic feel. And because they’re designed with a roomier fit, even moms-to-be can easily find styles without even venturing toward the maternity section.
