Long Cardigans

Women's Long Cardigans

With the cooler weather comes one of our favourite sartorial staples: the long cardigan. As stylish as it is versatile, a women’s long cardigan can instantly elevate your outfit, adding warmth and elegance to your daywear and chic contrasting texture to sleek afterdark ensembles.

Go from your desk to drinks by belting a long, finely woven merino cardigan over a chic mini-skirt, knitted top, ankle boots and tights. Or pair your most form-fitting little black sweater dress with a chunky cable-knit cardi and a statement purse.

Layer colours and textures to step up your look, combining moody midnight blues, blacks and eye-catching autumn hues, such as rusty reds, vibrant emerald, golden topaz and textural tan, with sleek silk and bright metallic accents to draw the eye. Keep in mind that geometric patterns, logo-bearing sweaters and monochrome ensembles can be instantly elevated by accessories with a hint of carefully considered colour. For example: a forest green tote, a red silk scarf tied around your neck or a leather belt with a statement buckle.

Or if you’re planning a relaxed day at home, take loungewear to the next level by throwing a beautifully cut long cardigan over an everyday outfit. Whether you’re intending to receive visitors, nip up to the shops or head out for a midday meal at your favourite local cafe, a carefully chosen long cardigan will elegantly transform your comfortable top-and-tights combo, beautifully blurring the boundary between form and function.

Whether you’re looking to cosy up in luxuriously warm layers, add an element of laid-back elegance to your favourite tee-and-jeans ensemble or make your favourite mini-skirt comfortable in cooler weather, a long cardigan is the ultimate addition to your transitional wardrobe.
