Outfits Featuring a Light, Long Cardigan
Ever tried to style a long cardigan only to feel like you’re wearing a wizard’s robe? We’ve been there! The Bria Pleated Cardigan has the perfect level of lightness and femininity to avoid feeling over the top. It comes in mauve and teal (lovely spring colors!), but the thin pleats on the oh-so-soft, flowy fabric are what make it shine.
Styling a long cardigan can feel tricky, so the key is to know your vibe—either go for a relaxed, oversized look or keep the rest of your outfit sleek for balance. We typically keep things pretty balanced here at Mae Threads, so here are a couple of outfit ideas for you!
#1 Day-to-Day
Bria Pleated Cardigan + a basic tee (try our Mavis Top, pictured here on the left) + slim leg jeans (our Boyfriend Jeans would add some casual flair) + booties
#2 Brunch Date
Bria Pleated Cardigan + a fitted dress (our Winnifred Striped Midi Dress works perfectly!) + mules
#3 Cozy Casual
Bria Pleated Cardigan + wide leg pants (try our comfy Tabitha Knit Wide Leg Pants) + matching top (we chose our Dashia Ribbed Body Suit)+ a belt in a contrasting shade (if the pants call for it) + sneakers
Outfits Featuring Breezy Linen Pants
Featuring a beautifully beachy beige color, these long and relaxed linen pants have a drawstring for the perfect fit and good sized pockets that can fit your phone. They are almost opaque, so you can feel comfortably modest in them (but just to be safe, we wouldn’t recommend wearing black undergarments!). We would style them like this:
#4 Nikki’s Choice
Harbor linen pants + a basic top (like our Mavis Top) + a chunky cardigan + crossbody bag + sandals. Helpful tip: like Nikki, you may prefer to style these pants with heels if you’re petite!
#5 Coastal Grandmother
Harbor linen pants + neutral oversized sweater (like the one from our Petersburg Sweater Set) + clogs and a straw bag
#6 Approachable and Poised
Harbor linen pants + basic tee (our Snowdrop Tee has the cutest embroidery) + a button down shirt as a layer + slip on sandals
Outfits Featuring a Classic Floral Easter Dress
The Birdie Floral Midi Dress might be the most perfect Easter dress ever. (Trust us, once you try the Birdie Floral Midi Dress, you won’t want to wear anything else on Easter!) It’s a lovely balance of classy and fun, with patchwork fabric in mint and teal, three-quarter length cuffed sleeves, functional buttons down the entire length of the dress, and a subtle mandarin collar. Here are three ways to style it.
#7 Casual Cottagecore
Birdie Floral Midi Dress + lightweight cream cropped cardigan + light brown leather sandals or lace-up flats + a soft headband or ribbon in your hair
#8 Effortless Romantic
Birdie Floral Midi Dress + a cream or blush vest + light-colored block heels + a floral or lace hair scarf
#9 Vintage Practicality
Birdie Floral Midi Dress + a cropped denim jacket + sneakers or lace-up boots + vintage-style sunglasses
Spring fashion is so much fun as you get to play with layers and playful looks. We hope that these nine outfit ideas give you some great inspiration for stylish and comfortable ensembles that suit any occasion—whether you’re keeping it casual or dressing up.
