I’m working on a new little series for you guys, and I’m calling it the Fashion Feature.  I’ll share some fashion trends that I’m in to and my favorite finds related to that specific trend.  Some of the features will be new favorites in my closet, and others will be items I’m considering trying but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.  Let’s kick this series off with a long cardigan.

Fashion Feature: Long Cardigan

A long cardigan has been a thing for a while now, but this grey one just recently made it into my closet.  “Long” really could mean a variety of lengths, and seems to mean anything that falls below your hips.  What’s great about the variety of lengths is that you can pick a length that you feel more comfortable with to start out, and that works with your height.  If you’re 5’2″, you may not want to jump on the duster bandwagon, but a boyfriend would work great!

These days, it really seems that almost anything can be “dressed up or down”, but you don’t have to spend too much time on Pinterest to see that this is really true for the long cardigan.  Mine is often paired with my converse, jeans, and a t-shirt, but you could switch out just the sneakers for heels or boots and voila!  You’re ready for a lunch date, or anything you want to feel “nice casual” for.

You can pair a long cardigan with dresses, skirts, pants, jeans, or even just your loungewear when at home, as I often do!  You can also pair a long cardigan with heels, flats, ankle boots, over the knee boots, really anything you want!  Check out the Pinterest Board I put together full of my favorite ways to wear a long cardigan for more inspiration.

I’ve also rounded up some long cardigans in a variety of lengths and colors below, just click on the photo!
