Long Cardigans are Perfect to Add Layers to Any Style

As soon as the year rolls around to autumn and winter, all the fashion catalogues and adverts will be featuring layers in a big way. Layers can make an outfit look perfectly put together - and keep you warm as an added bonus!

We love the layered look at Goose Island, and fully subscribe to the Lagenlook, using beautiful, floaty, feminine layers to create a unique and individual bohemian style. 

In out latest blog, we talk about one of our favourite fashion pieces, long cardigans, and how you can use them to create this popular layered look.


"Whether it is two layers or five, due to their inherently long and flowing cut, long cardigans can instantly create a bohemian-style layered look. Simply wear one over a dress, add as a layer before a heavier coat, or even layer it underneath a vest or gilet. Long, wool cardigans are great to wear when the weather is still cold, and lighter, jersey material cardigans are a great choice when the weather is a bit milder, and are also great to use as a cover up over a bikini or shorts and t-shirt when you are on holiday."

Don't forget to take a look at some of our favourite long cardigans in stock! And we still have great prices available in our sale!

Do You Think Women's Cardigans are Stylish or Dowdy?

Halloween is already over, and even bonfire night has passed us by, which means that Christmas will be upon us before we know it. Some people are eagerly counting down, and others think it is far too soon to be thinking about Christmas, but you can’t deny that after an unseasonably warm October, it is quite refreshing to have a spell of season-appropriate weather.

With this new chilly weather setting in, it is the perfect excuse to hunt for some new cosy items to keep you warm. As women, we seem to favour cardigans more than men, and there is nothing easier than throwing on a comfy woolly cardigan that goes with everything, so you know you have a few reliable options for colder weather.

Cardigans are a popular cover-up throughout the year, but some people still feel that women’s cardigans can be a bit frumpy or dowdy. As with most fashion items, the choice is so wide and varied that you are sure to find a style or shape to suit you, leaving you feeling stylish rather than unfashionable.

Long Wool Mocha Cardigan – made in Italy

This thick wool cardigan is perfect for keeping you warm, but long waterfall style is also on trend at the moment, along with the seasonal mocha colour. This cardigan is certainly far from frumpy and firmly stylish and could easily be thrown on over jeans and a t-shirt for some weekend errand running, or it would look lovely with black trousers and a blouse for the office.

Fluffy Grey Cardigan – made in Italy

This women’s cardigan could not be anymore cosy. This is perfect as a festive addition to your wardrobe, and will certainly add interest to any outfit. It is the perfect piece to show off a bit of glamour on a night out or a festive party, and would look great paired with a black jumpsuit and stand-out heels.

Plum Floral Kimono Cardigan – made in Italy

Kimonos really made a splash in the fashion world this summer, but that doesn’t mean they have to be relegated to the back of the wardrobe for the winter. This plum colour kimono lends itself to the festive season, and the fringe adds another level of interest. This might be a cardigan choice for milder days that aren’t so frosty, but it would look great with almost any outfit, and you can continue wearing it when the weather warms up.

Grey Wool Stripe Gilet Cardigan – made in Italy

This is not a cardigan in the traditional sense, but it will still provide warmth and comfort on colder days. Similarly to the kimono, the gilet has become an increasingly popular item of winter clothing, and this particular piece will lend some classic elegance, without feeling ‘puffed out’ or frumpy. This gilet would look great paired with a long sleeved top, jeans, and knee high tan boots, for a perfect winter outfit.
