Sweaters? For summer? Groundbreaking. Especially if you ask Anne Hathaway.

While the idea of wearing a sweater on a hot day may seem counterintuitive, the actress recently proved it’s actually the opposite with a clever style hack: short sleeves. Hathaway sported a cropped short-sleeve cardigan, which she left partially unbuttoned to create a flattering V-neckline. She finished the look with dark blue straight-leg jeans, a black shoulder bag, and oversized sunglasses.

A short-sleeve cardigan is a polished, versatile piece for your summer wardrobe. You can wear one with jeans like Hathaway, linen pants, a maxi skirt, or denim shorts. Not to mention, Reese Witherspoon was spotted in a white short-sleeve cardigan last summer.
