I'm going to try this cardigan instead and hope that it allows me to layer over sleeves.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1875524 Fri, 05 Jan 2018 17:48:22 +0000 Jazzy Dance 1875524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, so many great examples! LOTS of long cardigans, I didn't expect that, and all styled so beautifully.</p> <p><b>Joy</b>, I agree that traditional cardigans can easily look dowdy. I feel like <b></b>looking<b></b> dowdy is easy for me so I want to be extra careful about that.</p> <p><b>Gigi</b>, I agree, I just can't get into plain cardigans. I love this ruffle cardigan from Boden. It has a little extra flair.</p> <p><b>The Cat</b>, you look warm and cozy and fab in your at-home wear.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, those red cardigans are great on you. Very stylish! Thank you for sharing your photos.</p> <p><b>Firecracker</b>, so many good looks!&nbsp; Thank you. You look great in that light purple scarf, too.</p> <p><b>Christina</b>, I have had that very problem as well. I got a cardigan/vest like you pictured but didn't end up wearing it much. It was very voluminous, though it did give me a little extra warmth.</p> <p><b>Staysfit</b>, thank you for the specific and helpful details. I don't care for the cropped cardigan look and want to avoid, but the length you described with your a-line skirts is easy to picture and useful.</p> <p><b>Nadya</b>, I love the blue with the green. The cardigan I am thinking about us about that length.</p> <p><b>Anne</b>, I appreciated your pictures, and I especially like the red cardigan on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872379 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 02:54:13 +0000 anne 1872379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a few of mine. I find it a very helpful combination to deal with temperature fluctuations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872377 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 02:05:46 +0000 Nadya 1872377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here’s a recent pic. I also like this dress with a long linen navy cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872376 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 01:32:02 +0000 Staysfit 1872376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear long and medium length cardigans with pencil skirts, sheath dresses, shifts, and wrap dresses. In fact, that sort of look is one of my two favorite silhouettes. It may even be a summer uniform. If my dress has an a line skirt, the sweater works best if it stops at or just above my ischial crest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872362 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 23:55:25 +0000 3style 1872362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m saying ditto to Suz as far as a long thin red simple cardigan. I have one in fine gage merino cranberry red (like her second one) which I wear year round mostly with dresses and pencil skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872359 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 23:33:08 +0000 Suz 1872359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn actually popped up on the forum a few days ago!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872357 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 23:22:50 +0000 The Cat 1872357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker's collection of cardigan &amp; dress ensembles is just terrific. Great variety in cardigan lengths. Fab outfits with lots of interesting details. A wonderful source of inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872299 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 20:14:31 +0000 gradfashionista 1872299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don’t, but one of YLF veteran Lyn*’s signature looks, IIRC, was a dress paired with a cardigan. She’s not active now, but you can still look her up in the forum directory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872297 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 20:05:38 +0000 Christina F. 1872297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have trouble layering over anything with long sleeves. I do like this look, but I have too many patterned long cardigans and dresses that won't necessarily go together. I was however thinking of getting a vest like the one below as a kind of utility player for this kind of look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872294 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 19:52:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1872294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tend to go for longer cardigans with dresses, . . . except when I wear short cardigans with dresses--as I discovered in looking back at some of my dress and cardi looks! Thanks for the nudge to take a look back through the photo files. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872289 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 18:58:00 +0000 Suz 1872289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, what a fun thread! <b>The Cat</b> and <b>Joy</b> both look fashionably feline in different versions of leopard!&nbsp;</p> <p>And look, I have a leopard/ long cardi look too! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Also a few more. I own 3 long cardigans and wear them the most with skirts and dresses, though I also like them with cropped jeans and culottes.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872285 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 18:37:37 +0000 The Cat 1872285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forgot to say that I think Joy looks gorgeous in hers and that I I love the patterned cardigan with the fur. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872281 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 18:26:25 +0000 The Cat 1872281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pleasure. This is tonight's home outfit: long leopard cardigan (coatigan), deep blue velour dress, sky blue short-sleeved turtleneck pullover, deep blue opaques and deep blue suede shoes. </p> <p>(I'll happily wear the same ensemble at work or for other occasions. Then I'll add accessories like a silver belt and/or a necklace or scarf. But now, I'm just reading and relaxing at home. Of course, the turtleneck is not always necessary, but it feels perfect this winter night.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872170 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 07:55:36 +0000 Katerina 1872170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great question Jazzy Dance!<br /> Joy, you look amazing in both pictures. So stylish! It seems that length and texture are the key. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872167 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 07:26:58 +0000 Gigi 1872167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, Joy, I love the faux fur on that cardi.</p> <p>I have a love-hate relationship with cardis. I like how they feel, and I need them for warmth (I run cold), but so many of them are so boring looking. I like things that are a little more interesting. Maybe I could find one with some faux fur... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872147 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 04:33:01 +0000 Sveta 1872147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, but I have an opposite problem - most of them are too short on me for&nbsp; this effect :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872146 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 04:31:17 +0000 Anonymous 1872146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, they would look fabulous on you. I have to be careful since I am short, that they hang close to the body. You can have an easier time with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872145 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 04:20:39 +0000 Sveta 1872145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, your long cardigans look super with dresses and skirts - you make me to want one too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872126 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 02:37:20 +0000 Anonymous 1872126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like long duster type cardigans best with dresses for flow and movement. Traditional cardigans can easily look dowdy. A chunky cardigan can add texture to a monochromatic outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/show-me-your-cardigan-and-dress-ensembles#post-1872096 Tue, 26 Dec 2017 23:55:56 +0000 Jazzy Dance 1872096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friends,</p> <p>Who wears dresses and cardigans out there? I’m trying to adjust my eye to the look and would love to see how you all wear it. I’m being a little vague intentionally so as to see a wide variety of looks. Photos or finds would be so appreciated.</p> <p>I did do a google image search, but that rarely gives me an idea of how real people wear a particular look. I don’t find the women in the photos very relatable for the most part. </p> <p>Thank you, stylish friends! </p>
