Customers love to team their Aran cardigan with denim jeans and ankle boots to keep stylish and toasty in the cooler weather. During the warmer seasons, you can style your cable knit Irish Aran cardigan by layering it over a lightweight summer dress or pairing it with shorts and a tank top. 

The cardigan adds a touch of coziness to your summer outfits while still allowing you to stay comfortable in fluctuating temperatures. Finish off the look with a pair of sandals or sneakers for a casual and chic ensemble.

As winter approaches, your cable knit cardigan becomes an essential layering piece. You can wear it under a heavier coat for added warmth or layer it over a turtleneck sweater for extra insulation. Style it with wool trousers or a skirt, tights, and knee-high boots to create a cozy winter look. 

Of course, you can also pair the cardigan with jeans, accessorize with an Aran hat or a pair of aran gloves to complete the ensemble.
