How To Style A Thigh Length Hooded Cardigan

Styling a thigh-length hooded cardigan can be versatile and stylish. Here are some ideas to help you create different looks:
 

1. Casual Everyday Look

  • Basic Top and Jeans: Pair your cardigan with a simple t-shirt and favourite jeans. Skinny, flared, or cuffed straight-leg jeans all work well.
     

  • Footwear: Wear sneakers or ankle boots for a comfortable, casual vibe.
     

  • Accessories: Add a stack of bracelets and a crossbody bag to complete the look.

  • Shirt and Trousers: Layer your cardigan over a cotton shirt and tailored trousers.
     

  • Footwear: Opt for loafers or low-heeled pumps.
     

  • Accessories: Keep it minimal with a fine necklace and a tote bag.

3. Chic and Cosy

  • Dress and opaques: Pair the cardigan with a fitted dress and opaque tights for extra warmth.
     

  • Footwear: Knee-high boots, long boots or ankle boots work well here.
     

  • Accessories: A statement print scarf can bring in some extra interest and add more warmth.

4. Boho Vibe

  • Flowy Dress: Wear your cardigan over a flowy, bohemian-style dress.
     

  • Footwear: Ankle boots or flat sandals add to the relaxed feel.
     

  • Accessories: Layer with long necklaces, add a floppy hat, and carry a fringed or embroidered bag.
     

 

5. Edgy Look

  • Graphic Tee and Droppies or Edgy Pants: Combine with a graphic t-shirt and faux leather pants for an edgy vibe.
     

  • Footwear: Combat boots or chunky ankle boots will enhance the look.
     

  • Accessories: Add a chunky necklace, hoop earrings, and a crossbody bag with metal details.
     

 

The science behind style:

  • Fit and Proportion: Balancing the length of the cardigan with the rest of your outfit to achieve the rule of three is key.
     

  • Colour Coordination: Choose colours that complement the cardigan. These can be in your best neutral tones (check coco) and remember that grey always settles bright colours (a Hair colour types best tip), but for the rest of you, don't shy away from adding more pops of colour or prints.
     

  • Texture Play: Mixing textures can add depth to your outfit. Pair your knit cardigan with smooth fabrics like silk, cotton, faux leather or denim.
     


With these ideas, you can style your thigh-length hooded cardigan for various occasions, ensuring you look stylish and feel comfortable.
