With cooler months are here and long cardigans will be your best friend. Long cardigan outfits are back in the style scene and I am all for it. Who’s excited? Here are six ways to wear a long cardigan this season.

At-Home
Feeling cozy and comfy is everyone’s goal when it comes to fall. Using a long cardigan to keep you warm is the easiest way to feel comfortable all day long. Layer your long cardigan over your pajamas for warmth. There is no need to grab your dingy bathrobe. And if you find that you are running late with school drop offs and need to grab milk at the market afterwards, you will look put together with style.

To The Gym
Yes, yoga pants and long cardigans go together. Layer your favorite gym looks with a long cardigan. Depending on where you live, the extra length will give you protection from the wind, rain and cold. I love a long cardigan with a hood for added protection.

Casual
There is no better way to dress casual than a pair of jeans and a cute top. To make this look fall ready, add a long cardigan. This keeps the look on-trend and in season.

Semi-Formal
A long cardigan is an easy way to go from day into the night. If you are stepping out from the office, slip on a stylish belt over your office attire such as your classic sweater and faux leather pants.This elevates your look instantly making you look chic with no effort at all.

Make sure to use a thicker belt if your cardigan is duster length. It will cinch in your waist just right and provide the proper proportions.

Business Casual
Knitwear is a must have garment for the office. Offices tend to be cold with the air conditioning on so wearing a long cardigan provides the warmth and stylish dimensions to an otherwise ho-hum business look. And don’t’ shy away from on-trend patterns such as this leopard fuzzy long cardigan.

Instead of the traditional work bottoms switch it out for a long pleated skirt or even pencil skirt. Again, you could even add a belt for that stylish detail and you will look ready for that promotion.

Formal
Whether you are attending a fall wedding, a special event, or a sexy date, a long cardigan is an easy way to tie an outfit together. A long cardigan, used as outerwear is the perfect way to keep warm during the colder months without squashing your stylish outfit.

As you can see, the humble long cardigan is one of the most versatile pieces of clothing in your wardrobe. From cooler temps to colder temps, it can transform your outfit no matter where you are going or what the occasion is.
