Wearing a cardigan in Summer is a great way to be both practical and fashionable. They are a great transitional piece for overcast Summer days, an indoor party and especially for Summer nights. Long Summer days are some of my absolute favorites and this is such an easy accessory to put together with any look.

What To Wear With A Long Cardigan

The best part about long cardigan’s, is the options are endless. I think they can do one of two things — keep the outfit simple by wearing something like a solid short sleeves or a tank top with denim shorts or a skirt and let the cardigan be the focus item, or you can wear a more stylized outfit like high waisted skinny jeans and a crop top and just use the cardigan as an added accessory but doesn’t take away from the rest of your look. Both ways are super cute and great for different occasions, or depending on your mood!

List Of Favorite Items To Wear With A Cardigan

  1. White Dress
  2. Denim Shorts
  3. White Tank Top
  4. Slip Dress (with cardigan worn over, belted or unbelted)
  5. Skinny Jeans
  6. Heels
  7. Open Toe Sandals
  8. Shorts (a little dressier and more stylized than denim shorts)
  9. Basic T Shirts

All of these are items that you can pair together or wear separately with different items and you can put together so many creative outfit options.
