A HuffPost lifestyle piece profiles a $50 oversized cardigan from Quince that the author has worn for years across offices, interviews, an engagement party, and international travel. A stylist quoted in the piece attributes the garment's versatility to the 'rule of thirds,' a proportion principle, and to its neutral, undyed color palette that supposedly lets it pair with anything underneath.
The piece is built around one shopper's long-term satisfaction with a specific product, paired with styling theory intended to explain why it works so broadly.
The full dispatch is available from the source below.
✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
A cardigan doing the heavy lifting of visual proportion theory is a lot to hang on forty dollars of organic cotton. It probably is a nice sweater. It is also, transparently, an ad with a stylist's blessing stapled on for credibility.
