3 Ways to Wear a Long Red Cardigan This Fall
A long cardigan is a great way to add a little something extra to your outfit and stay cozy too. Today, I’m styling a long red cardigan three ways this Fall: Classic, Edgy, and Sporty!
LOOK # 1 – CLASSIC
I love a long cardigan in the Fall, but many are thick and heavy. This one is the perfect layering piece because it’s nice and thin but still feels luxurious.
This gorgeous red is so powerful and confident looking, but you can also get this sweater in black, a soft pink, and another darker red called Pomegranate. It fits true to size, and the big side pockets make it feel cozy and snuggly.
I’ve paired my cardigan with another favorite—this pretty white crew-neck sweater. Like the long cardigan, this sweater is very light and soft. It’s thin but not see-through (often the case with a thin, white sweater), and it’s a little stretchy, too, so it feels really good!
How do you like these jeans? I was going for a classic look, and this houndstooth print gives my outfit a sophisticated vibe.
Mules are trending this Fall, and these elegant black mules with chain detail are super popular.
Here’s a closer look at my sweater before we look at number two. Do you see the row of pretty buttons up either side of the arm, which is so feminine?
LOOK # 2 EDGY
Another great look you can create with a long red cardigan is to wear it with an animal print tee.
I’ve switched out my print jeans for these black skinny jeans and added an edgy leopard tee and a pair of sleek suede booties. While my first outfit was classic, this one is more edgy. This combo of red and leopard is hot, hot, hot.
Here’s the outfit minus the cardigan to get a better look at this buttery-soft tee.
This is such a cool look!
LOOK # 3 SPORTY
This third look is more on the sporty/fun side. I went with all black, head to toe, then layered on the red cardigan and added these cute snake print sneakers.
I’ve paired this stretchy mock turtleneck these chic skinny Ponte pants. They are like thick leggings, to create a seamless look, almost like a sporty jumpsuit. When you add the long red cardigan, you make a slimming dark column of color down the center of your body that is super slimming.
The cute snake print sneakers are like the dot on the exclamation mark! They add a final sporty punch to the outfit.
There’s the look without the cardigan. Those are my three looks with this gorgeous long red sweater. A long cardigan like this is such a versatile piece. The possibilities of how you can style it are endless!
I love the red cardigan! Great to see Village Square, Burlington!
I love seeing the different looks with one key piece.
Hi Linda, That’s great to know. I will do more!
