That silhouette in different colors is gold.<br /> I liked them all but it was interesting seeing you in that different jean style, works really well on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2029016 Tue, 21 May 2019 00:45:47 +0000 Anonymous 2029016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it in 1 and 2 too, sad you didn't keep it.<br /> But, they are very hard to layer over, since very long coats are absent right now-so very limited use as you said I have one and love it, but wish it was shorter than my coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028963 Mon, 20 May 2019 20:01:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2028963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good on you for being PPP. It’s really pretty, but then the image of it getting all dirty around the bottom with mud or worse is not a good one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028945 Mon, 20 May 2019 18:48:56 +0000 Angie 2028945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it ALL. Your curly hair is SUBLIME.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028944 Mon, 20 May 2019 18:47:25 +0000 The Cat 2028944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #2 are GORGEOUS. But I agree that the cardI is VERY long. How about trying one in a mid-thigh length? By the way, I love your bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028924 Mon, 20 May 2019 18:10:36 +0000 Helena 2028924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, well I thought it was AMAZING, but follow your gut; it's not the last long cardi you'll see!</p> <p>You have amazing style - I don't see it so much preppy; more model off- duty! Classic with a strong dollop of trendy. Very 2019 from what I can see! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028893 Mon, 20 May 2019 16:32:07 +0000 smittie 2028893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Robyn F</b>: Thanks! I like 6 too! I think I might try more of this look. The shirt is actually warm enough for my office without a topper, so this is also a practical look. I could put together a few other colour combinations.</p> <p><b>Lucy</b>: Thanks! Yes, dresses are my jam but I think I'd have to use sleevless ones with this cardi, and the sleeves of the cardi are see-through and tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028890 Mon, 20 May 2019 16:27:11 +0000 smittie 2028890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all your feedback!<br />I have decided to <b>return it&nbsp;</b>for practicality and budget reasons!<br />I could only really wear this item in the summer and spring (so that's 4 months max) and for the spring months, I'd have to wear it with the jean jacket or leather jacket, which is alright, but not a good everyday look.<br />It also rains a lot in the spring and summer here (lots of precipitation) and I can so see this getting dirty pretty quickly. Further, I could only wear it with tank tops as the sleeves are tight and see through.</p> <p>All of the above wouldn't be a dealbreaker if I had a good foundation of cotton sweaters, and I don't. Why don't I? Because I'm an emotional shopper who finds it really, REALLY hard to buy a basic navy sweater :-)</p> <p><b>Liesbeth</b>: Ok, good to know it is more clean and less boho. 'Angelic' is a nice work. I definitely not serene but it's nice to know I appear that way, haha!<br /><b>Bonnie</b>: Thanks!<br /><b>Christina</b>: Thanks!<br /><b>Kellygirl</b>: I'm glad you think it's sleek and modern. I think that look is more in my wheelhouse than boho (although I do like anything by Frye :-)<br /><b>SarahD8</b>: I think I prefer the cardi on its own too. THis has been an interesting exercise because I seem to have discovered that just changing 1 variable (sweater) and leaving everything else the same sort of makes things fit in within my existing style. <br /><b>Jane</b>: Interesting observation on the colour. I think you're right, and that a earthier colour might make it more boho.<br /><b>Sal</b>: Thanks! Right I guess the long straight line is more minimalist. Maybe if the cardi had more bells and whistles, it would read more boho.<br /><b>Jenni NZ</b>: Thanks Jenni! Yah, it IS long, and I was questioning the length a little. I've decided it looks alright, but sadly, it is not that practical for my climate, where it rains a lot, and it's cold. I'd need to wear it with a topper a lot of the time.<br /><b>LPed</b>: Thanks for your perspective on the styling issues. I think it would be easy enough to style, but the problem is my climate. It is so long, I see it getting dirt and mud on it. If I reserved it just for beautiful sunny days, it wouldn't get much wear. That in itself is not that big a deal, but the fact is that I need more regular, 'workhorse', toppers. So I am strongly thinking about returning this.<br /><b>bridgie</b>: Thank you!<br /><b>Cardiff girl</b>: thank you!<br /><b>kkards</b>: It is interesting you mention styling it with the items in #6. With the pants it would work, but the shirt is too bulky to be worn under such a thin cardigan. In fact, anything with sleeves would be too bulky, which is another strike against this cardigan.<br /><b>lisa p</b>: Yes, the jacket over the long cardi is a little unorthodox. Just trying it out because realistically, I'd have to wear a topper with it in May and June.<br /><b>Gigi</b>: Thanks, yes, there might be too many competing lines with the cardigan. Thanks!<br /><b>fithandfinest</b>: Ok, yes, it seems as though the lack of pattern and uneven hemline of the cardi takes it out of boho territory. Thanks for those observations!<br /><b>Brooklyn</b>: Thanks, and that's a great idea to pair it with a midi dress/skirt. Sadly, I currently only have 1 midi dress with sleeves. Any type of sleeve under this cardigan would not work as the cardi is a bit see-through and the sleeves are tight. Thanks for the jean jacket love! I think maybe a shorter jean jacket would work even better...<br /><b>hereforthecake</b>: Thanks!<br /><b>Taylor</b>: Thanks!<br /><b>StyleDetective</b>: Right, exactly! It would work very well for a cozier look, and I DO like that sort of thing.<br /><b>shevia</b>: Thanks! It's good to know the hair up looks good. I sort of didn't like that one as much, but it may be because I'm more used to seeing myself with my hair down now.<br /><b>rachylou</b>: Thanks for the striped jumper love! I love the colour combo.<br /><b>Elizabeth P</b>: Thanks!<br /><b>Joy</b>: Thanks!<br /><b>Suz</b>: Thanks! I often wonder about using the word 'preppy' to describe myself (and others on the forum). I think I am more like a 'modern classic' who wears a lot of non-black neutrals.<br /><b>Bijou</b>: I think you really hit the nail on the head, and I like the idea of "playing around on the edges" of boho and hard edge. I think I will add that phrase to my YLF profile!<br /><b>Opaline</b>: Thank you for chiming in! I think #6 is my favourite too. Thanks for the validation, and I might do more of this exact silhouette in different colours.<br /><b>Style Fan:</b> Thanks! I think of you has having the same shoulders as I do (but a curvier body). I think you could do a long cardigan (however, not sure whether it would work for your lifestyle!)<br /><b>Bennett</b>: Good to know these outfits don't read too boho or preppy, as I don't feel to comfortable in either camp. Yah, those are the Levis Wedgies in 6! I think they look really good and I'm so happy to have them. The only issue is, sigh, lifestyle, and the fact that they're hard to wear most of the year. <br /><b>Katerina</b>: Thanks!<br /><b>Jenn</b>: THanks! It is good to know it isn't boho. I think in my 20s I was more boho, and I do like the aesthetic, especially the jewelry and the easy vibes. But I only like a small amount of it on me<br /><b>KikiG</b>: I know! I tried going up and down stairs in it and noticed how I'd need to hold it up Hadn't thought about restrooms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028888 Mon, 20 May 2019 16:25:08 +0000 Lucy 2028888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty the way you've styled it. It would also look great with dresses, but I don't know if dresses are your jam or not.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028886 Mon, 20 May 2019 16:20:21 +0000 RobinF 2028886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorites are #1 and #6. Love the long sweater, I think it looks great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028882 Mon, 20 May 2019 16:01:17 +0000 KikiG 2028882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the long cardigan look, so I'm highly prejudiced in its favor!&nbsp; You look adorable.&nbsp; I will note that you do have to hold it up like the skirt of a Victorian lady going down stairs (or it will drag) and restrooms are tricky!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028872 Mon, 20 May 2019 15:43:55 +0000 Jenn 2028872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t think this particular cardigan looks boho. It’s very neat and streamlined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028861 Mon, 20 May 2019 14:53:40 +0000 Katerina 2028861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to this thread, but love the cardi in both pictures.... It suits you and your clean modern style beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan/page/2#post-2028713 Sun, 19 May 2019 22:21:40 +0000 Bennett 2028713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wouldn't label anything I'm seeing as either preppy OR boho. That's a great cardi, the length makes it a statement piece. I am not on board with the jean jacket over top, though. It just looks awkward. And are those the fabulous Levi Wedgies in pic #6? You struck gold with that pair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028581 Sun, 19 May 2019 09:31:33 +0000 Style Fan 2028581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the cardigan on you.&nbsp; My favourite look is #1 with your hair down.&nbsp; I am also challenged by long cardigans because of my shoulders.&nbsp; I don't notice this with you.&nbsp; To my eye you look stylish.&nbsp; Interesting look with the jean jacket over the cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028562 Sun, 19 May 2019 07:01:27 +0000 Anonymous 2028562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing it looks good on you for sure but #6 stole the show for me, super look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028553 Sun, 19 May 2019 05:43:32 +0000 Bijou 2028553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it - the white is dramatic and unexpected. As for your style, I love Suz's analysis - you definitely have a cool and youthful factor, so playing around the edges with boho (wavy hair and long cardigan) and harder edge elements (such as your black leather moto and distressed jeans) also works perfectly for your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028541 Sun, 19 May 2019 04:39:22 +0000 Suz 2028541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Shevia</b> said.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ideally, I think one a little bit shorter (still long, but a few inches less) would be ideal and a bit easier to style. And of course I'm a huge lover of pale grey long cardigans (I can't live without one, it seems!) so I may be biased in favour of the idea. My own is a bit shorter than this but a similar vibe and I love it.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LOVE</b> your other outfits, too. Preppy, maybe (and again, as you know, I have a weakness for prep!) But not entirely preppy. I would say trendy more than preppy. Modern classic with a youthful twist and a bit of a "cool" factore.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028530 Sun, 19 May 2019 03:40:15 +0000 Anonymous 2028530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look lovely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028529 Sun, 19 May 2019 03:39:57 +0000 Brooklyn 2028529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Re: 3. I’ve seen that sort of styling around. I think it’s a look that you can pull off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028527 Sun, 19 May 2019 02:58:01 +0000 Elizabeth P 2028527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you.<br /> I prefer it in its own, rather than under the denim jacket, but as Lisa said it’s an interesting idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028493 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:26:24 +0000 rachylou 2028493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! Yes to 2 being especially elegant. Also love that striped jumper. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028490 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:19:41 +0000 Jaime 2028490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the long cardigan the best in #2 with your hair up. Neck gives structure to compensate for the lack of tailored shoulders maybe? Your outfits are all terrific but my favorite is #6!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028488 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:15:12 +0000 StyleDetective 2028488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love it! My favourite pic is no. 1, where the cardi steals the show and your lovely long hair adds a relaxed element.</p> <p>I agree that it is less structured and preppy than some of the other outfits you posted, but I still think it is consistent with the overall look. The long clean vertical line and the colour makes it look more preppy than boho.&nbsp; I would think of it as something you reach for when you want something cosy and less structured, but that is still your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028484 Sun, 19 May 2019 01:10:04 +0000 smittie 2028484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your opinions and feedback.<br /> I’ll get back to you all tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028465 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:32:23 +0000 taylor 2028465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeeeeep!<br /> You are adorable in it ! Love the way you have styled it in #1and 2<br /> I really love your other outfits too! You have a relaxed trendy vibe and it suits you ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028456 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:26:18 +0000 hereforthecake 2028456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Live that cardigan on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028452 Sun, 19 May 2019 00:11:25 +0000 Brooklyn 2028452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great and not boho the way you are wearing it. Do you wear midi skirts/dresses in Spring/Summer? I think it would look great over that silhouette too. I do kind of wish it was a couple of inches shorter. It’s almost maxi length. But I think that’s the way hem lengths are going here - longer and longer. So no problem if you like it. I see no flattery issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028441 Sat, 18 May 2019 23:36:53 +0000 fifthandfinest 2028441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All outfits are fabulous. As others have said the longline cardi works because it's simple and minimalistic - patterned or uneven hemline (things I consider real boho hallmarks) would probably have been a detail too far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-long-cardigan#post-2028440 Sat, 18 May 2019 23:36:41 +0000 Gigi 2028440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the long cardi! I do prefer it on its own, though, without the jeans jacket. I feel that there is too much going on (too many competing lines) in the outfit with the cardi and jeans jacket.</p> <p>Great outfits overall! </p>
