So we have been having a few odd days of weather in Cape Town, but it’s not necessary to get your mates in the UK to send over London battle gear. In Cape Town there is never a need for trench coats and army boots…just a little more cover up than usual.

And there is nothing better than a classic cardigan! Probably best known for always being seen on Kurt Cobain, the cardigan is a classic wardrobe staple we should all own. I won’t lie, I don’t own one yet, but I will. A cardigan is a type pf sweater that ties, buttons or zips down the front. So it’s not the same as a pullover, which is closed.

I searched through Cavendish, The V&A Waterfront as well as Canal Walk, but couldn’t find anything. I suppose I could have found something if I went into the more exclusive stores such as Diesel, but I’m not keen on dropping R2000 on a cardigan.

Enter Urban by Hilton Weiner! Currently out of stock, they have assured me that in about two weeks they should be receiving stock of their awesome cardigans. I will be the first one in there.

I did get impatient and braved losing my mind by going to that store in Access Park where they stock Aca Joe and Urban. And they did have cardigans, but only in size large and up, and they only cost R200. So if you are a large or bigger, and are desperately looking for a cardigan like I am, then head on over to Access Park and hit up the Urban store there, you should find something. Urban’s cardigans are 100% cotton, none of that polyester rubbish.

So that’s it really, the cardigan is cool and you can wear it. It’s great for cooler days and you can wear it open so no need to completely sweat your tits off.

I’ll be wearing one, so you know it’s good!

And Kurt wore one so you can too, as well as doing sex, drugs, rock ‘n roll.
