Versatility of cardigans comes in handy during winter excursions
Are you planning a ski or a snowboarding trip and need help selecting a proper sweater? Why not consider a cardigan? Well, at least ski resorts were not closed this winter despite Covid restrictions, and those of us who love snowboarding, and skiing were able to enjoy winter sports.
There are many snow sports sweater options and variants but open front sweaters aka cardigans are a perfect choice for a trip to a ski resort. The ski season in the US usually lasts up to six months and those transitional months from late autumn to early spring are often called “sweater weather” months when you do not want to dress up too bulky but at the same time, you want to feel warm and cozy.
Cardigans are great for recreational winter sports and trips to local mountains for several reasons. Here are only a few to consider before your ski trip:
- They provide you with great insulation without making you look too bulky.
- You look sharp and stylish while enjoying the snow and snow sports.
- If it is a pre-or post-Christmas season, they add to the atmosphere with their winter motifs and graphics.
- They go well with virtually any kind of boots, winter hats, mittens, and trousers.
- They make practical seasonal holiday presents, so if you decide to gift a ski cardigan to a snowboarder or a skier, you will not go wrong.
- Having a warm cardigan handy while on winter vacation can save your night on the town when you want to remain warm but not wear a professional ski jacket and look too touristy.
- Cardigans require minimal storage space and can easily be stowed in your suitcases, vehicle trunks, or roof boxes.
Cardigan sweaters are immensely popular amongst skiers and snowboarders in Nordic countries as well as Alpine regions. Their popularity is rising rapidly amongst US winter sports fans as well in the last 10 years and we have handpicked the ones that have been voted the most stylish by consumers.
Wearing a cardigan indoors during your stay at a ski resort
Long warm and cozy cardigans can really come in handy during your ski trip. Either in a hotel, mountain resort, or a cabin. Enjoying a warm and light, long wool cardigan sweater can be therapeutic. They can easily replace that hotel bathrobe and make you look stylish while relaxing. Reading a book by a fireplace while resting from your fun times on the ski slopes in your favorite cardi is a great feeling. For ladies, long open-front sweaters are the best option for this occasion and gents will look their best in a zip-up or a nice shawl cardigan.
