When it comes to comfort, cardigans are the ultimate choice for every girl.
And while we love cropped sweaters, cardigans in a longer length are even better because of how comfortable they are.
You can make the most of this versatile layering piece by wearing it all year round. Here’s a list of all topics that I’ll cover today:
What To Wear With A Long Cardigan?
Consider pairing a long cardigan with different pieces to create various looks. Personally, I love wearing them with short dresses and skirts with tucked-in blouses to get a polished look.
Just be sure to use the proper styling and length proportions.
Long cardigans look great with casual outfits as well as semi-formal ones. In the summer, a slim-fitting cardigan looks great with crop tops and shorts.
While a chunky knitted cardigan looks good with turtlenecks and fitted bottoms in winter.
Styling Tips
- Buy the right fit: Avoid wearing oversized cardigans unless you are opting for a baggy look. They add visual weight and lend you a frumpy appearance. Similarly, a tight-fitting cardigan will not look good either. The ideal cardigan should fit comfortably around the bust and sit well around the shoulders.
- Layer over dresses: Cardigans are great when you want to layer like a pro. They are also ideal for keeping you warm while wearing short dresses in chilly weather. Pick a cardigan color that best complements your dresses, drape it over your shoulders, and you are ready.
- Accessorize: Not liking the flowy feels? Then, grab a belt and wrap it around to get a defined waist. Just like that, pair your long cardigans with balanced accessories to add depth to your outfits. Consider wearing a thick necklace or dramatic earrings to create a more heightened look.
- Experiment with colours and patterns: Life is a little boring without some experiments. Even though a simple and plain cardigan is great for a professional and subtle look, a patterned or brightly coloured long cardigan can offer a little fun and dimension to your simple outfits.
- Neutral Colours: Neutral colors are versatile as they can be paired with any outfit anywhere. Invest in cardigans in neutral hues like cream, beige, white, and grey. In addition, pastel colors like pink and blue also look adorable in the spring.
