Recently I noticed this new trend creeping in sported by celebrities such as Olivia Palermo, Kim Kardashian and Fearne Cotton – the long cardigan. When I was 16 I pretty much lived in a long lined black style, so it’s almost nostalgic reliving this re-emerging fashion staple. Styling a long lined cardigan works a treat with fitted pieces, and in particular with skinny jeans. Today I wanted to show you how effective playing with lengths can look for this style. By doing this gives a taste of easy to wear Spring and Summer options, from shorts to fitted dresses. For tall ladies this trend is right up your street and for petites, there is a huge variety of lengths available at the moment. For those under 5’5 I would opt for something that sits just to the knee as anything longer would make you appear shorter than you are. I came across this particular cardigan recently in New Look who have a good size selection in various cardigan styles from sizes 8 – 32. Styling this piece I found a drop hemmed skirt from Primark which has both a beautiful texture and fit. Black is a perfect combination against Khaki so I kept the look streamlined with a plain black top. For added oomph a statement necklace and an aztec print clutch was ideal.
