Cardigan: A wardrobe essential for everyone
A cardigan is a wardrobe essential everyone needs especially in the rainy season or for warmth.
In recent times, as fashion evolves, some styling options include pairing Cardigan with casual outfits like jeans and sneakers.
To some, they are a wardrobe staple that can easily turn around an outfit. Whether dressing for a casual day at work, a night out, or even lounging at home, Cardigans offer flexibility in styling.
Some types of Cardigans includes chunky knit, fine knit, long, cropped cardigans, and its vests.
They can be found with different closures like buttons or zippers and in various lengths, from short to long.
Again, fine knit cardigans are made from finer yarn and are suitable for both casual and more formal settings.
Long Cardigans extend below the hips and can be a stylish layering piece, often reaching the knee or even the ankle.
Cropped Cardigans come shorter in length, hitting at or above the waist, and are often paired with high-waist bottoms for a trendy look.
Cardigan Vests are sleeveless, offering a lightweight layering option.

A powerful creative shift took place in Tamale over the weekend, where fashion, culture, and youth converged to redefine the city’s identity.
TrendsRunwayShow celebrated its fifth anniversary, a milestone that confirms Tamale’s growing presence on Ghana’s fashion map and signals a bold, new era for the northern region’s creative economy.
This year’s edition, themed “Freedom of Expression,” granted designers full creative liberty to explore identity, heritage, and modern style.
Eight designers and one stylist showcased collections ranging from culturally infused silhouettes to experimental contemporary designs that captivated audiences across the city.
The runway brought together 25 male and female models, many of whom rely on the show as a stepping stone due to limited access to opportunities in Accra and other southern cities.

Every winner of Ghana’s Most Beautiful from 2021 to 2025 rocks an outfit that included a touch of red.
This fashion choice stood out across five seasons of the popular beauty pageant, which celebrates culture, confidence, and regional pride.
The winners came from different parts of Ghana, but their shared use of red created a visual link that caught the attention of viewers and fashion lovers alike.
Interestingly, some designers may choose red to highlight boldness or to honour tradition. In the case of these queens, red appeared in different forms—from kente patterns and beadwork to embroidery and flowing gowns. Each winner used the colour in her own way.
Fashion plays a big role in how contestants express themselves, and the final night is known for the dramatic, elegant outfits. That’s when the red details shine the most under the lights, in front of the judges, and across social media.
But over five years, the pattern has become clear. Red is more than a colour; it is a statement. It connects winners across time and space, showing that beauty, culture, and confidence can be stitched together in one bold shade.
