Level 1: The Rise of the Desk Cardi
Now that you’re back in the office you may find it is ventilated differently, with more windows open. Desk cardigans are an unlikely style saviour, whether in the office or working from home. Cardis in fluffy or soft yarns feel comforting and they help us to feel warmth and ‘hug ourselves’. It’s an item that adapts to those days when you want to make an effort so wear a Zoom-approved blouse or shirt, but not sit shivering in chiffon; a piece that sits happily on the back of your chair ready to be pulled over your shoulders or knees in the winter and sometimes the summer.

 Will you be getting it on? |
While tracksuit bottoms may have taken the lion’s share of the fashion headlines for their comfortable, practical and fuss-free credentials, the desk cardi is all those things and more. Easier than a jumper for regulating body temperature (they are like turning up the heating by 3 degrees) without messing up your hair or ripping an earring out. Wearing one is akin to a cuddle.
For those of us returning to the workplace, increased ventilation has become important to prevent the spread of Covid 19 that we have all tried so hard to contain. Many organisations may be asking their staff to keep windows open all year round – resulting in increased levels of heating demand. Simply putting on an extra layer will help you to stay comfortable, while staying safe.
Whatever your style there is a desk cardi for everyone.
