Today I want to talk about cardigans and leggings (ad); two of my favorite items to wear. Figuring out how to wear a cardigan with leggings might seem like a daunting task for some, but it’s honestly one of the easiest and cutest looks you can go for.
Wear Leggings and a Long Cardigan
There are two different cardigan styles that I find super flattering with leggings (ad). The first one is the long simple cardigan with dropped shoulders. This type of cardigan has a very relaxed fit. It has a loose look to it, and sometimes you will find some with pockets.
LONG CARDIGAN
The long cardigan is great for those that want a cozier feel and a little bit of extra coverage with leggings. You can wear a longer top with this cardigan if you plan on taking it off throughout the day. It all depends on how comfortable you are with leggings. Other options are sweater dresses, band t-shirts, simple t-shirts, or a cropped top.
If you’re going out, add a coat on top thats either the same length or longer than the cardigan and accessorize with your favorite hat.
TOPS AND BOTTOMS
For shoes you can dress up the look with ankle boots, knee high or thigh high boots. Pairing this look with nice boots and a nice blouse under your cardigan will make the outfit look a lot more put together and dressy. For a more casual look try styling it with some chunky sneakers, vans, or converse.
BOOTS
Style Them with a Cropped Cardigan
The second style of cardigan I find super flattering to wear with leggings is the cropped cardigan. If you buy a tighter more form fitting cardigan it will really show off your figure. This style of cardigan is more versatile and can be worn with almost anything not just leggings. You can wear it over a dress, skirt, shorts or leggings.
CROPPED CARDIGAN
A really great way to wear a cropped cardigan is with a cropped tank underneath, high waisted leggings and sneakers. This look can be a little bit more fashion forward, so don’t be afraid to get creative. For accessories you can add a cool crossbody bag, fanny pack, or mini backpack. It is honestly one of the coziest looks you can choose.
