When I saw this Pringle sweater in Jane magazine being worn backwards like that, it reminded me of girls I keep seeing at gigs who do that - wear their sweaters and cardigans backwards. I quite like the idea of having the buttons going up backwards and for me, I guess showing off the back is a whole lot more preferable to showing off my non-existent cleavage. I also like the way the cardigan comes up quite high at the neck at front making people think you're just wearing a high necked sweater and then surprising people when you turn around. This could also work with sweaters that have very deep V's. On the charcoal cardigan because there were so many gold buttons, I fastened them up to non-matching button holes so that it kind of twisted on itself too. If it looks a little plain from the front, adding a multi-layered dramatic necklace could work.
