How to match the maxi cardigan? Our style tips on the current trend
The maxi cardigan is one of the autumn winter 2015 2016 trends that you surely want to embrace. Who would not like a warm and enveloping cardigan long enough to also cover the hips, the bottom and maybe even the legs?
Know that there are two ways to follow this trend: by choosing a real maxi cardigan, that is oversize, or by opting for a long cardigan, which makes it look like a wool coat.

The long cardigan is a bit like your autumn duster, a worthy replacement for the mid-weight parkas, while the oversized cardigan is more than anything else the alternative to the beloved winter pullovers.

How to combine the maxi cardigan: the most beautiful looks

The long cardigan, as you can see from the street style images above, can very well work alone as an outerwear, on days that are not too cold. Wear it as an autumn duster, open or maybe closed with a belt, to create a more comfortable and cool effect at the same time. You can have fun enriching it with a maxi scarf, or pinning a flashy brooch on it, as the trends dictate.
In the case of the oversized cardigan, on the other hand, you can wear it over a thin sweater, then combining it with a medium-length skirt or skinny jeans. The knee-length skirt is one of the hottest winter trends of 2015, as you can find out here.
You can also be more daring, and wear the oversized cardigan over your jacket of the moment, as long as it has the shorter hem of your cardigan: a leather jacket, for example, would create an interesting contrast between a rock soul and a tender soul.
What color should I choose my maxi cardigan?
The choice of maxi cardigans is obviously very wide this season. But which color is better to choose? Generally speaking, neutral colors like blush, cream, gray, nude are ideal if you intend to use it often and combine it with anything. If you are a cardigan freak, opting for these colors would help you change many looks without filling the "closet of similar items. If, on the other hand, you prefer a unique piece, such as a long cardigan to use as an outerwear on everything, black, or even white, never betray.
If, on the other hand, you want to follow the color trend of autumn winter 2015 2016, namely burgundy, know that you will find many cardigans in this color, or with similar shades. Burgundy too is not difficult to combine, as you can find out here.
And again, since the season is the right one, you can choose a warm and enveloping color, typical of the fashion of the cold months, such as rust, brown, dark green ... The choice is yours! Find out how to correctly match color patterns and draw your inspiration:
