Very informative rereading it.</p> <p>As always, you are making perfect sense;-)<br /> You're right of course, there are so many variables here that the only way to get it right, is to keep experimenting, which I will.<br /> And I will post pictures of the specific cardigans/outfits soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-long-cardigans-over-skirts-and-dresses#post-89583 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 21:31:53 +0000 Angie 89583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question, Inge. I have the green curved hem cardi you see in the picture. Remember this blog post? </p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/12/16/the-curved-hem-tunic-cardigan/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/12/.....-cardigan/</a></p> <p>I wear the same cascading cardigan over dresses and skirts – and pants! There are many variables at play with respect to the style of the cardigan AND it’s colour AND what you wear it with. I wish I could offer guidelines for you, but it’s more of a trial and error thing. </p> <p>But longer will be more versatile for your height, Inge. But on someone petite, shorter is better. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-long-cardigans-over-skirts-and-dresses#post-89521 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:35:35 +0000 Inge 89521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I certainly will Medusa. I only got them yesterday (see my other post about cascading cardigans at H&#38;M) and haven't had a chance yet to take pictures. Stay tuned;-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-long-cardigans-over-skirts-and-dresses#post-89517 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:31:40 +0000 medusa 89517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This would be a great topic for a blog post. I'm curious about the same thing.</p> <p>Inge, what would you think of posting photos of some of your ensembles? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-long-cardigans-over-skirts-and-dresses#post-89499 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:05:35 +0000 Inge 89499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look and plan on sporting it a lot this Winter. I'm wondering though: are there any guidelines regarding the most flattering length?</p> <p>I'm guessing it's a different length for (pencil) skirts and dresses? Does the cut of the cardigan play a role as well, i.e. different "rules" for boyfriend cardigans, cascading cardigans and cardigans with a rounded hem?</p> <p>- I tried on one of my new cascading cardigans (length is the same in the front and the back) over a pencil skirt. It hit me just below my bottom and that seemed about the right length for this look.<br /> Then I tried it over a sheath dress (hits me above knee) and that did not look right at all (the cardi ends about 5 inches above the back vent - it looked even stranger when I added leggings to the mix).</p> <p>- Would you say that cardigans with a rounded hem look best with pants? Or could a skirt/dress work too, depending on the length of the cardi (mine seemed a bit long for this).<br /> Example of cardi with rounded hem in case you don't know what I'm talking about:<br /> <a href="http://www.shopbop.com/oversized-wrap-cardigan-juicy-couture/vp/v=1/845524441848215.htm?folderID=2534374302053051&#038;extid=affprg" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopbop.com/oversiz.....tid=affprg</a></p> <p>- I feel like I will need an even longer cardigan to wear with knee-length dresses? </p>
