It has a simple raised band in place of the traditional collar. At this time of year, they’re great for layering, especially if you’re struggling with an outfit that’s already got multiple collars. Here are four ways to wear one now. ## Look 1 A cardigan is a cool, casual alternative to a blazer. Keep the rest of your outfit classic and accessorise with a woven belt and suede loafers. ![](https://media.slman.com/-W2fSyPGM14uvI2T_OvEMvGVVxk=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fslman.com%2Fsites%2Fslman%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2020%2F03%2Fl1-grandad-shirt.jpg) ## [Cashmere Cardigan, £375 | Altea](https://prf.hn/click/camref:1100l4JRj/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrporter.com%2Fen-gb%2Fmens%2Fproduct%2Faltea%2Fclothing%2Fcardigans%2Fcashmere-cardigan%2F11813139151513193) [Linen Blend Grandad Shirt, £29.50 | M&S Strood Trouser Khaki](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1402&awinaffid=69421&clickref=&p=%5B%5Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.marksandspencer.com%252Flinen-blend-grandad-shirt%252Fp%252Fclp60433839%253Fimage%253DSD_03_T25_2029M_NU_X_EC_90%2526prevPage%253Dsrp%2526color%253DWHITE%2523intid%253Dplpnav_swatch%5D%5D)[, £80 | ](https://waxlondon.com/mens-clothing/strood-trouser-khaki/)[​Wax London](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=1402&awinaffid=69421&clickref=&p=%5B%5Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.marksandspencer.com%252Flinen-blend-grandad-shirt%252Fp%252Fclp60433839%253Fimage%253DSD_03_T25_2029M_NU_X_EC_90%2526prevPage%253Dsrp%2526color%253DWHITE%2523intid%253Dplpnav_swatch%5D%5D) [Blue Split Suede Leather Loafers, £69.99 | Zara](https://www.zara.com/uk/en/blue-split-suede-leather-loafers-p12608520.html) [Woven Belt, £90 | Andersons ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=35725&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.matchesfashion.com%2Fen-fr%2Fproducts%2F1266977) ## Look 2 Now is a good time to introduce lighter shades to your outfit.
