Let’s talk about the most stylish 6 ways to style your cardigan for Fall! Cardigan is one of the best transition pieces to wear from Summer to Fall. A cardigan is a mid-season piece, which is not too thin or too thick for an early Fall. It’s my most favorite “outerwear” during Fall and even Winter seasons (for Southern places)!

A cardigan is a universal wardrobe piece that every woman should own. And by following the outfits below, you will be able to style any cardigan in the fall, creating stylish looks for all occasions. Not to mention that a cardigan allows you to feel comfortable and cozy at all times no matter the weather outside.

When the first breeze hits, that’s about the time to take out your cardigans. Some days are cold and breezy, and some are hot and humid and without a doubt a cardigan is just perfect to style chic looks and feel warm. There are so many different models of cardigans starting from different lengths, cuts and fabrics, which can be both with buttons and without them, with embellishments or with jewels.

In addition, they go well with a various number of dresses, trousers, skirts, and tops. Try pairing your cardigan with a pair of sneakers to  add more of a casual look, while a pair of heels will be more suitable for dresses and skirts and even trousers for a sophisticated twist.

Now, onto styling some stylish cardigan looks!

6 Ways To Style Your Cardigan For Fall

Outfit 1  (Cardigan + White Button Down + Mini Skirt + Chunky Boots)

Some models of cardigans look good with a “flowy” skirt. Cardigan + skirt – in this case, the cardigan should be a little cropped, and the skirt should be at maximum knee-length or slightly higher. This is the perfect balance when pairing something chunky and something really feminine like a skirt. 

Outfit 2 (Cardigan + Tank Top + Trousers + Loafers)

The most acceptable option for teachers, students and office workers is a cardigan with some trousers and loafers. This is such a basic and stylish combination, which will evenly look great with sandals, heels, or chunky boots. 

Outfit 3 (Cardigan + Beige Faux Leather Leggings + Boots)

My go-to Fall outfit is a cardigan with faux leather leggings with a tank top, and a pair of shoes suitable for the weather. Here, I have styled my favorite jewel knit cardigan with my Zara beige faux leather leggings and MK sock boots. But, even if it gets colder you can always opt for layering these looks, by adding a wrap coat or a trench coat, creating stylish and cozy looks!

Outfit 4 (Cardigan + Shirt Dress + Boots)

A cropped cardigan coupled with a poplin shirt dress or a long button down shirt looks amazing together. Important to realize that such a bold decision involves complementary colors of the cardigan and skirt, for example, an ivory cardigan plus a white shirt dress and/ or you can wear a bright shirt dress underneath the cardigan as well. This type of combination is called sport-chic, super feminine and yet kind of casual. 

Outfit 5 (Cardigan + Turtleneck + Jeans + Loafers)

Jeans should be of a classic straight cut model, without any decor, which will look super stylish and modern plus adding various accessories, such as sunglasses or a belt, will decorate the overall look. In this case, under a cardigan, it is best to wear a thin turtleneck in a contrasting color – light gray, black, navy. 

Outfit 6 (Cardigan + Black Slip Dress + Strappy Heels)

Another feminine and simple combination is a cardigan + slip dress! This ensemble is super feminine and romantic, perfect for a party, date night, and a girls’ brunch.
