This cardigan has a longer, duster style. This style creates an opportunity to add color and a pop of print to your fall outfits.

Accessorize with a gold buckle belt to create a waistline and a black bag. Finish with a pair of ankle booties.

If longer cardigans aren’t for you, try a shorter, cropped cardigan. This one came with a knit tank top underneath to complete the set.


A simple cream-colored cardigan can be paired with anything for the fall.


Pair the cardigan with a wide-leg pair of jeans to match the loose, relaxed fit of the cropped torso.


Accessorize with caramel-toned boots, a matching belt, and a taupe-colored bag.

If you’re not a fan of a cropped or super long duster style cardigan, this cardigan is the perfect medium.


The length coupled with the neutral gray and subtle leopard print makes it easy to style. Style with a black high-neck top and a pair of leather or faux leather shorts.


Over-the-knee black boots will keep you warm.


Accessorize with gold hoop earrings, a gray headband to match the cardigan, and a gold chain black bag.

This knit cardigan is in a bright, mustard color that adds a pop of color to any type of fall outfit. I’m styling it with an all-black base underneath so the cardigan stands out.

Add a black bag to accessorize.

    Love those over-the-knee boots! Where can I find some that would fit my XL thighs?

    Thank you! These boots are from Shoedazzle. I love shopping their tall boots because you can filter for wide calf boots. So helpful for women like me with xl thighs and wide claves. 😊
