If this cardigan looks familiar, you are correct! It’s loved so much that it deserves a repeat. It’s no secret long cardigans are one of the top wardrobe staples for fall and winter. Because it is so versatile, I wanted to share my favorite ways to wear long cardigans to maximize its potential. While these are only five options, there are so many other ways to style these pieces.
Five Ways to Wear a Long Cardigan:
- With a cami. The easiest, most popular way to pair this is with a cute cami. It’s a personal favorite outfit. Keep it simple and classic with a solid white cami, or add a little more detail with patterned, lace or ruffled camis. See above for one version of this style. Or here for it paired with ruffled cami.
- Over a dress. I love dresses year round. This goes over a sleeveless dress easily, print or solid. In the Texas fall, it can still get a little warm during the day so this is a more cohesive alternative compared to a jacket.
- With flannel. Oh my goodness, long cardigans and plaid flannel are a match made in heaven. Tuck the flannel shirt in and roll the cuffs over the sweater. Think similar to this from last year.
- With a t-shirt, jeans and pumps. I call this my weekend casual look. It’s comfortable, laid back but the heels add a little feminine touch. Earn extra style points with a wool fedora hat.
- Tied with a belt. Take a stylish belt, like here, and wrap it around the waist of your cardigan and a long sleeve shirt for a long, lean appearance. Add jeans and booties to complete the look.
Because of how versatile these cardigans are for fall and winter, I mostly own these in neutral colors so I can pair them with a number of outfits. However, they do come in a number of colors.
I have linked a few different options below, each with multiple colors available and some with petite sizing as an option.
Live your life joyfully so,
Ashley
