Taking an oversized, heavier cardigan and pairing it with skinny jeans and a slim shirt can be a chic look. You can dress it down by wearing flats to complete your weekend look or make it more formal with boots, booties, or heels for a romantic evening or Sunday brunch. Cashmere, wool blends, cotton, and cotton blends are all excellent options.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As long cardigans are an integral element of every capsule<\/a> wardrobe, I have two choices: either a different style for every season (meaning four) or two or three and wear them year-round. Naturally, if, like me, you will replace them every couple of years or when needed.<\/span><\/p>\n If I’m sincere, I don’t think you need four. You’ll likely be content with just one or two. This is, of course, contingent on the location you live in and what you are looking for in a lifestyle. It also depends on your style and the amount you love, long cardigans overall.<\/span><\/p>\n I love long-length cardigans! I’ve owned a few through the years and have four in my wardrobe. I’ve owned them for a few years, and they’re in good shape, which is why I’ve never had the urge to replace or sell them. Particularly when working at home, I find long cardigans extremely comfortable to put on over any outfit. Even in summer, when the AC makes me freeze, I wear a long cardigan to keep warm inside.<\/span><\/p>\n If I had to choose just one color, it would be a camel. It’s neutral and easily worn down or dressed up, depending on your style. The color is great when paired with jeans, pants, black leggings, and so much more! It took me some time to understand how important neutral hues are within my closet. When you choose neutral colors like camels, you’ll see the maximum wear of your clothing and discover that you are shopping less (i.e., you’ll save money! ).<\/span><\/p>\n A long cardigan is among the most under-appreciated all-year-round wardrobe staples. But if you adore the look, you’re in great company. There are numerous ways to dress in a long cardigan that makes you appear elegant and polished while still feeling warm and cozy. Today, I’m sharing ten ideas for outfits with long cardigans to give you a new look at this beautiful piece, whether you’re looking to wear it to the office, wear it to your office at home or dress it casually to enjoy a casual weekend. Take note: I’ve styled some of my top long dusters below. A few are coati gans, but most of these suggestions can be worn with mid-to-large cardigans, regardless of their weight and color.<\/span><\/p>\n Beginning with the most simple choice: A long cardigan, jeans, the perfect crewneck t-shirt, or White button down. There’s not much you can do wrong with this style, and it’s my go-to style when I want to look at ease, but my style isn’t flowing. The perfect way to finish this casual outfit is with comfy ankle boots and regular jewelry. Next, I suggest slim-leg, straight jeans that are ankle length. This is great for different shaft heights of boots.<\/span><\/p>\n Monochrome clothes are a great option to look stylish, whatever the season. Layer a beige, cream, and white sweater over white jeans, a sweater, and heels to create an easy-to-wear outfit that is office and date-night ready. For a casual look, you can add loafers, sneakers and flats, slingbacks or slingbacks, or booties that match in color.<\/span><\/p>\n Black and black styles often are branded as edgy; however, that needn’t be the situation. You can wear a black cardigan with sneakers, faux leather leggings, and a long-sleeve white t-shirt or white hoodie. I love this casual outfit for school dropoffs, morning coffee walks, or errands. An important note about those leggings: I like Commando fake leather leggings over Spanx because they have a subtle shine that closely resembles genuine leather.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Try using color blocking using neutral shades<\/a> by pairing a tan-colored cardigan with a black tee and white jeans. If this combination seems boring, spice it up by incorporating a pattern into your scarf or bag. The houndstooth, check, or plaid design will make the entire look sparkle in the winter and fall seasons.<\/span><\/p>\n Consider putting an oversized cardigan with a maxi or midi dress. Bodycon or sleeves-less dresses make the most sense to minimize any excess bulk in the armpits. I suggest choosing slim-fit, long-line cards rather than an extravagant cardigan since the latter will take up your entire body. Explore different dresses or cardigan widths till you come up with a look that you feel is well-balanced. Wear a belt if you feel like you’re losing your waistline.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the major reasons a long cardigan is necessary to keep in your bag is that it can elevate casual outfits and dress up formal ones. If, for instance, your outfit is a satin top with a pair of heels and trousers, A long cardigan can make the outfit look more casual. Change the blouse to a lace camisole, and you’ll be sporting an elegant look for date night.<\/span><\/p>\n You can wear both if you’re looking to enjoy the casual look of a long cardigan and the fun in a mini-skirt. First, consider pairing a mini skirt with the bodysuit and boots that go over your knees. Then, add a large cardigan to make the outfit more interesting. The cardi adds length and drape to the whole ensemble while also toning down the extra sexiness in the short skirt.<\/span><\/p>\n For a chic look with a long cardigan for a date night, Try pairing it with a v-neck shirt or lacy cami, with ankle-length thin jeans with strappy heels and clutch. I love this style for the fall season and spring since the cardigan doubles as an outer layer that can be taken off once you’re inside or reveal a little more skin.<\/span><\/p>\n Consider putting it with a white, tan, or beige cardigan on top of an un-sleeved black jumpsuit to create spring and summer jumpsuits winter-friendly. It is possible to try the black-on-black long cardigan here; however, I prefer to put it with a lighter-colored cardigan to break the look. Try the opposite to reverse the formula if you wear a tan or white jumpsuit. If you are looking for shoes, consider tall shaft ankle boots (the edge of the dress must be over at least the upper part of your shaft), as well as slingbacks or heels from d’Orsay.<\/span><\/p>\n And lastly, make sure you are leaning into the length of your cardigan by wearing slim-leg trousers, a fitted top or bodysuit, and an appropriate belt. Belts are essential to define your waistline, which could be lost between your black shirt and trousers. This is a stunning style for a formal appointment at work. Still, wearing a fitted v-neck top and even an a-line camisole can be a great dinner party look.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\nHow Many Long Cardigans Do You Need?<\/span><\/h2>\n
