I would suggest looking for sweaters without long sleeves. If you can go with 3/4 sleeves, the shortness will look intentional. Boyfriend style sweaters tend to be longer in fit too. </p> <p>Because I love knitting, I'm tempted to tell you to learn too. Then you could make cardis that fit you exactly as you wish them to! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-tall-for-cardigans#post-1044046 Thu, 03 Oct 2013 16:54:08 +0000 AAusten 1044046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-tall-for-cardigans#post-1043351 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:46:52 +0000 qfbrenda 1043351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They make styles that are extra long.&nbsp; On the sleeves, you can always push them up a bit, making the too-short arms look intentional.&nbsp; </p> <p>I googled "long cardigans" and came up with lots of options.&nbsp; </p> <p>Editing.... re-read your post and see you are asking about work cardigans.&nbsp; Since long ones tend to look casual, maybe it won't be that simple.&nbsp; Hmmm... I think some boy friend styles would work but will let the working women help you with that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-tall-for-cardigans#post-1043344 Wed, 02 Oct 2013 18:42:35 +0000 AAusten 1043344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm nearly 6 feet tall and I can't seem to find a simple cardigan for work. I find that they are too short in the arms and the body. When I go to store for tall people they are too big. Any suggestions? </p>
