dpDuring the winter months, the humble cardigan is the Atlas of our wardrobes, holding our outfits up on its weary shoulders. But by the time summer rolls around, the holy grail sweater is relegated back to its drawer, where we hope the moths don’t find it before next winter.
That ends now, according to Jennifer Lawrence. Today, the actor reclaimed the cardigan as a summery staple while out in New York with her husband, Cooke Maroney. The actor struck a sartorial balance, pairing a teal mock-neck cardigan from Leset with breezy white pants with a foldover waist, and brown sandals. A city-slicker with a boho bent, Lawrence added a pair of sleek sunglasses and a floppy floral tapestry bag.

For anyone looking to take a cue from Lawrence’s new lease on sweater weather, consider two key elements: the vibrant teal hue is a welcome alternative to the darker colors we wear in winter. And, while colder months necessitate that cardigans be buttoned to the top, the warmer weather allowed the actor to wear hers open, her décolletage offering a wink of sex appeal.
So, before you put away all your winter clothes for the summer, ask yourself, what would Jennifer Lawrence do? Go ahead, break out the summer cardigan.
