A cardigan can often instantly and magically make the outfit look more cozy and more feminine. A belted cardigan is a variation that also carries that magical touch. Unlike a typical cardigan, a belted one often looks more professional and formal instead of the breezy feel that a typical one carries with it. To explore how to instantly change the style of your outfit, I have put together a list of some of the best belted cardigan outfit ideas. Let’s take a look now and try them out.
Cream Belted Cardigan with Floral Shift Dress
This outfit can definitely be wore as a cheerful looking business casual outfit. Wear a cream long belted cardigan over a blue floral shift dress to create some stylish layers. Continue the layering game by wearing the black leggings and brown knee high leather boots.
Light Grey Belted Cardigan Over Dark Grey Sheath Dress
Here is another work outfit, but this one is stylish more professional looking and elegant. Wear a light grey belted cardigan over a grey linen sheath dress. Wear white heels and an ivory purse to complete the outfit with elegance.
Wear with Black Lace Dress with Brown Heels
For a minimal look, you can simply wear a black lace dress with a grey belted cardigan. For the shoes, I would recommend you to wear black ballet flats for an absolutely minimal look or brown heels to add a little of color to the outfit as displayed in the picture. Either way, the outfit is simple and clean and it is perfect if you want to dress in a low key way to work for a particular day.
Grey Belted Knit Cardigan with Skinny Jeans
This is a rare all-grey outfit that simply looks chic. For the top, wear a grey belted marled knit cardigan. Wear it with grey skinny jeans and grey heels. To add a magical touch to the outfit, wear a cheetah clutch bag that shines among all the grey pieces.
Grey Cardigan with White Button Up Shirt & Wide Leg Jeans
To create a stylish layering effect, you can wear a grey cardigan with a unbuttoned white shirt. Make sure you wear a white vest top under the shirt. To make your legs look longer, wear dark blue wide leg jeans with heeled camel suede ankle boots.
Grey Belted Cardigan with Sky Blue Dress
For a princess-like adorable look, you can wear a grey belted knit cardigan with a gorgeous sky blue sheath dress. Wear purple ballet heels to add some extra feminine feel to the outfit. To make the outfit even more dreamy, match the dress with a sky blue floral necklace.
Wear with Blue Floral Sheath Dress
A form fitting belted cardigan can be viewed as a tool to make the upper body look slimmer and make the body look leaner overall. As an example of that, wear a short grey belted cardigan with a blue floral sheath dress and pink heels.
White Belted Cardigan with Grey Maxi Dress
To achieve a feminine and breezy look, a flowy maxi dress may be something that you need. Simply wear a white belted cardigan over a grey breezy maxi dress. The dress should be a chiffon dress for the best result. The shoes don’t really matter much in this case, I would still recommend you to wear a nice looking pair of boho style nude heeled sandals.
Grey Oversized Knit Cardigan & Green Shirt Dress
This outfit may be the most simple outfit among the list, meanwhile, it is also my favorite one among the list. The outfit consists of an olive green shirt dress, a grey oversized knit sweater cardigan and grey suede heels. These three simple pieces just seem to flawlessly match with each other to create this uniquely beautiful, minimal outfit.
Grey Belted Cardigan with White Lace Dress
As a white lace dress can often give a feminine and elegant feel, wearing with another elegant piece in the grey belted cardigan seems to amplify that feel. To complete the elegant look, were nude heeled sandals and a brown clutch bag.
Red Cardigan with Navy Fit and Flare Dress
A fit and flare dress is often wore only with heels to create a clean and minimal look. This time, a navy fit and flare dress is paired with red belted cardigan, brown flats, and a navy and red plaid scarf. The result is equally good, but with a very different style, a more cozy and friendly style.
Dark Blue Belted Cardigan with Grey Silk Top
This is a very creative and interesting outfit that involves a bow blouse. To style the grey silk bow blouse, wear it with a dark blue belted cardigan and a dark grey tweed pencil skirt. Complete the outfit with stockings and black heels.
Grey Cardigan with White Fit and Flare Lace Dress
A grey belted cardigan seems to be the perfect Robbin to the white fit and flare lace dress, the Batman. For a combination as great looking as this, simply wear low profile shoes like the brown ballet flats to keep the focus on the dress. Some boho style bracelets can further bring out the beauty in this outfit.
Plaid Belted Cardigan with Yellow Dress
It is never an easy task to style a yellow dress, especially if we are talking about the lemon yellow. A little surprisingly, wearing the yellow dress with grey belted cardigan can make the bright dress look more natural. A pair of yellow and silver heels would match with the rest of the outfit perfectly.
Red Cardigan with Skinny Jeans & Knee High Boots
Having talked about a lot of outfits that involve heels, let’s talk about one that involves the brown knee high leather boots. Simply wear the boots with a white top, a red belted cardigan and black skinny jeans.
As you see, layering a belted cardigan over your already good looking outfit can often create some magical result. Go ahead and try some of the outfits. You may find a little surprise here and there.
