Cardigan (sweater)

A cardigan is a type of knitted sweater that has an open front.^[1]^[2]

Commonly cardigans have buttons: a garment that is tied is instead considered a robe. A more modern version of the garment has no buttons and hangs open by design.^[3]^[4] The name "Cardigan" is an anglicised variation of the Welsh placename Ceredigion.^[source?]

The term originally referred only to a knitted sleeveless vest, but expanded to other types of garment over time.

Plain cardigans are often worn over shirts and inside suit jackets as a less formal version of the waistcoat or vest that restrains the necktie when the jacket has been removed.
