Adding a long knit cardigan to your closet for spring can be a practical and stylish choice no matter your lifestyle. These cardigans are perfect for layering as the weather transitions from cool to warm. I got a black and white plaid long knit cardigan this fall from Old Ranch (Aventura sister brand) and have been wearing it a lot. They provide an extra layer of warmth on chilly spring mornings and evenings without being too heavy or bulky. Additionally, the knit fabric adds texture and visual interest to your ensemble, making it a fashionable and functional addition to your wardrobe.

Wearing a long knit cardigan with leggings can create a stylish and cozy outfit perfect for various occasions. The long knit cardigan adds an extra layer of warmth and comfort, making it ideal for cooler weather. Pairing it with leggings not only adds a casual and relaxed vibe to the look but also ensures maximum comfort throughout the day.

Another way to pair this cardigan with leggings is to switch out the sneakers for lug sole boots. You can also add a bit of color with a tee. These swaps don’t change the comfort level at all, but to elevate the outfit just a touch.

Wearing a long plaid cardigan with a skirt for work can be a stylish and professional choice that combines comfort and sophistication. Because this cardigan has lapels and structure it is a perfect choice for a work outfit. You can opt for a solid-colored skirt that complements the colors in the plaid cardigan. Just make sure the skirt is longer than the cardigan. This will help create a cohesive outfit that looks put-together and polished.

Just because a cardigan is made to be worn over things, doesn’t mean you can’t switch it up a bit! I opted to close it with a statement belt and pair it with bright pants. It gives off a sassy, flirty vibe.

Honestly, I’m looking at these photos and wishing I hadn’t worn distressed denim! But there are still elements I really like. A plaid long knit cardigan paired with a bow tie blouse and jeans creates a stylish and sophisticated look that effortlessly combines casual and smart elements. The plaid cardigan has masculine structure while the bow tie blouse adds a chic and feminine touch. Paired with classic jeans, this outfit strikes a balance between comfort and fashion, making it suitable for various occasions.

Black and white has been on my mind lately. To add interest to an outfit with only 2 colors, bring in different textures. This outfit has knit, leather, denim, and patent leather. It could work well for brunch, a fun day out, or whatever!

Overall, a plaid long knit cardigan is a timeless piece that can be worn year after year. Its versatility, comfort, and ability to effortlessly elevate any outfit make it a must-have staple for the spring season. So, consider adding one to your closet to enhance your style and stay cozy during the unpredictable spring weather.
