State Cashmere Mid-Thigh Long Cardigan

This longer cardigan from State Cashmere hits at mid-thigh, giving it a wrap-like feel that shorter cardigans cannot match. The open front means no buttons or zippers — just pull it on and go.

The 4.0 rating across 178 reviews places it as a decent option, though not without its critics. The lightweight construction keeps it from feeling heavy despite the extra length.

100% cashmere in a lightweight gauge. The longer silhouette requires more material, and the lighter knit weight keeps the garment from getting too heavy or dragging at the shoulders. Expect a thinner hand feel compared to shorter, denser cardigans.

The mid-thigh length is the standout feature. It adds visual weight to an outfit and provides more coverage than a hip-length cardigan. The drape of the open front creates a relaxed, flowing line — flattering when paired with fitted pieces underneath. Without a closure, the sides can swing open when walking, which gives it a casual, effortless feel.

The mid-thigh length means this cardigan runs longer than standard versions — check the length measurement against your height. The open front drapes naturally, so the fit through the body is relaxed. Petite buyers should verify that "mid-thigh" on the size chart matches where they want it to fall.

Wear it over a fitted top and skinny jeans for a balanced silhouette — the longer length pairs best with slimmer bottoms to avoid looking oversized. It also works well as a light cover-up over dresses. For travel, this serves as a comfortable plane layer that doubles as a wrap.

Think about how you plan to wear it. Without buttons or a belt, the open front drapes freely, which means it will not stay closed on its own. If you want a cardigan that stays put, look at the button-front option instead.
