We're officially in September and that means, fall is just around the corner. Thank goodness, right? As we start (some of us slowly) unpacking our heavy coats, scarves,
Speaking of lighter layers, that's what we're going to dive into today here on Poor Little It Girl. I'm excited to share some long cardigan outfit tips for petites. I love a great cardigan, no matter the length. It's the perfect piece to throw on during the spring to keep you a little warm and add a fun texture to your look. So let's dive into all things long cardigans.
Long Cardigan Outfit Tips For Petites
One quick Pinterest search for long cardigans and you'll be inundated with all the ways to style long cardigans, but also all the different styles. Being petite, I know I can't just throw on any long cardigan and expect to look tall and chic. I need to pay attention to how I construct my long cardigan outfit so I can maximize the look and create a long lineup to my face.
Petite Long Cardigan Styles
Before we dive in on how to style them, let's talk about all the styles of petite long cardigans. A long cardigan is unofficially defined as a cardigan that goes longer than your hip. You can see that my long cardigan in today's outfit hits between my butt and my knees. I've found this to be my sort of "sweet spot" for where I prefer the hem to hit, but you can go a little shorter or even longer. Here are a few different long cardigan styles you can shop now!
Make Yourself Look Taller
Being petite, my number one goal is always to make myself appear taller. I'm not a magician, but simple styling tips can totally fool the eye into thinking I'm like, 5'3 instead of 4'11. Ha! For me, it's all about proportions. When wearing a long cardigan, I want to style it with high-waisted skinny jeans and fitted with a shirt tucked in. See how my legs appear longer instantly? Especially with these nude open-toe sandals. Like they start up a lot higher on my waist than they really do? Are you starting to think I'm 5'3 now? I bet so.
Best Shoes For Long Cardigan Outfits
While I love a great pair of flats, I have to say with long cardigans I really do prefer wearing them with high heels. Just to, again, give the illusion of me being taller. I've styled long cardigans with flats before and looking back, I really just don't love how it looks. I feel like I still look stumpy. (The exception is this travel outfit I still love!) So yes, go for a simple high heel. Here are some of the best shoes for long cardigan outfits I'm currently loving!

Long Cardigan Outfit Ideas For Petites
So are you inspired to create your own long cardigan outfit for spring? Here are a few more looks that I'm loving that you can totally put together with pieces from your own spring wardrobe. Which look is your favorite? Make sure you let me know in the comments below!
LONG CARDIGAN WITH SHORTS:
I am obsessed with the look of sweaters and denim shorts for spring. This look with the chunky knit is so effortless and put together – one I will certainly be recreating this coming season!
LONG CARDIGAN WITH SKINNY JEANS:
You really can't go wrong with a long cardigan and skinny jeans. It's the easiest way to style a long cardigan no doubt. I love the pop of orange in this look!
LONG CARDIGAN WITH A WHITE TANK TOP AND BOTTOMS:
Nothing says spring-like white denim! To create a long line, pair it with a white tank and a neutral-colored long cardigan.
LONG CARDIGAN WITH A DRESS:
Another fun way to style a long cardigan is with a dress! I like the cardigan to hit just right above, or right below the hem of the dress as opposed to doing a mini dress with a super long cardigan.
