What to wear with a long cardigan?
The long cardigan is my go-to for adding a little flair to an everyday casual white top and blue jeans ensemble (you may also have heard it being referred to as a duster). Long cardigans come in a variety of styles, with some ending just below the knee and others ending just a few inches above the floor.
For us, the sweet spot is in the center, about mid-calf just above the ankles. If you're new to the long cardigan trend, it might feel a little strange at first. I have to tell you how much I adore this look and how easy it is to achieve.

Top: Since the long cardigan already has a lot of fabric, I suggest avoiding bulky, thick-knit fabrics. Otherwise, there will be so much going on and it will not be very attractive. The principle of ‘less is enough' is applicable here.

It's ideal for layering. A standard V-neck or crewneck can be worn in the spring. Under long cardigans, bodysuits are also a great choice.
Bottoms: Leggings and slim or straight leg jeans look great with a long cardigan. I adore a nice pair of worn-in jeans. I like how the distressing and rips break up the color when you're wearing all solids. Although my exact jeans are no longer available, I've included links to similar pairs.
Shoes: You may wear this cardigan with flat shoes, but I think a heeled bootie adds a little more height to the look. Here, I'm wearing my favorite booties. They're still on sale!

When paired with a long cardigan, wide-leg pants or baggy jeans can make you look boxy and frumpy. If you want a more colored vibe, bootcut jeans that are slim in the thighs with a slight flare at the hem will look amazing, but even then, you'll need to wear heels.
