LONG cardigans from knee-lengths to floor-lengths are massive, in chunky knits for that bohemian look, as well as thin fabrics, lace, mesh… that look like floor-length trenches. Draped cardigans, aztec printed, belted, hooded, pocketed, ALL is in, in the most daring, funky and fun way possible. They probably are the best layering gimmick and style statement right now. 
Then I did some research of how sartorial riskers are doing this trend and… I’m IN! 
Long cardigans look best with fitted bottoms: skinny jeans or leggings and a slouchier top. Or they look amazing when the play with lengths is out of control: mini skirts or dresses, shorts, crop tops layered with denim shirts. 
Let’s have a look at street stylers for inspo… ;) 
I love this look, but at 5 3″ tall i think not for me.
It’s possible that long tops work better with higher heels, not necessarily very high, but still quite so, if paired with very short skirts or shorts, as it lengthens the bust.
Great selection! Here are some other cardigans you will love: http://www.fash365.com/2014/10/cardie-ology-branch-of-fashion-that.html and my favorite duster: http://www.fash365.com/2014/08/to-express-your-personal-style-its-fun.html
Doesn’t look that good on tiny people though
This look has so many options, it hard to settle down with even a few of them. However, I was a bit taken back in seeing fine lacey mesh worn like trench coats and I was floored when I saw a certain white flowered lace draping low enough to sweep the ground. Obviously, the wearer had little concern with the possible damage or maintenance of the garment. It would have been better in both appearance and utilization to have it shortened or wear heels high enough to keep the hem from blatantly reaching the ground.
