Fall is finally here, and it’s time to start bringing out the long sleeves. In my opinion, it’s never too early to do a post about one of my favorite clothing items — the cardigan, a super versatile piece that is a must for every closet. 

They are easy to layer with and will keep you extra warm for when it gets even colder underneath your puffer jackets.

I love creating different looks with cardigans for fall, and below are three cardigan outfits with different lengths, textures, and prints!

Cardigan Outfit 1:

Products: Cardigan – Nordstrom, Top – Net-A-Porter, Jeans – Revolve, Boots – Urban Outfitters, Beanie – Carhartt, Lip Primer – W7 Cosmetics, Lipstick – Charlotte Tilbury

For this comfy-casual cardigan outfit, I used a bright orange fluffy textured cardigan. This catches the eye and keeps you looking sleek, even when the rest of your outfit is casual.

Underneath, I added a white long sleeve top and a pair of black jeans. The rip in these jeans makes them feel casual, but you could choose a plain pair if you wanted an all-around clean look.

To finish the look, grab some chunky black boots that have a zipper all down the front, then swipe on some lip color. This lip primer from W7 Cosmetics is an absolute must-have — it makes your lips look flawless, no matter how dry they get in winter! And this Charlotte Tilbury lipstick is truly splurge-worthy.

This would be a great outfit idea for a day spent running around campus.

Cardigan Outfit 2:

Products: Cardigan – Lord & Taylor, Turtleneck – & Other Stories, Leggings – Spanx via Zappos, Sneakers – Urban Outfitters, Eyeliner – Ulta

For our next outfit idea, I styled this cheetah printed cardigan with a thin black turtleneck to keep the look from feeling too thick.
