I have a couple of long sweater coats, and I don't put anything over them.
I completely agree with this.
I agree, I'd never wear a short coat over a long jacket. However, those of us who live in cold weather locales don't have the option of not wearing a coat. You either save those long cardigans for mild weather or you put them on when you get to work. That would work for me (if I owned any) because I often carry my blazers to work and put them on when I get there.

I've only seen long cardigans and coatagins styled as the outer piece.
Depending on the climate where you live that could be many months or just a few.
I like the idea of carrying one to the office (or keeping one there).

I agree with everyone. Never thought of this when I bought them. I have to wear a coat here in the winter so I guess I will just have to carry it with me.

I think it depends on preference and body shape IMO.
I worked in the fashion industry for many years and I've and seen a short jacket worn over a long cardigan etc. done well. I have worn this myself with many compliments. It also depends on the rest of the outfit. I also bought the Halston long cardigan in Bone and I have tried it on with several of my leather jackets and it looked really good. I have a preference for this look since I have an hourglass figure and I'm tall and I think it helps to flatter my shape. I always have to use a belt for a long cardigan or blouse etc. so the shorter jacket comes in at my waist in the same way.

When I wear a long sweater coat, if it is not warm enough I add either a ruana or a long coat.

A maxi-coat.

Simple:
A 3/4-length trench coat or a 3/4-length wool/other coat or a 3/4-length anorak.

I would only wear a coat the same length or longer than the cardigan. To my eyes, a long sweater sticking out under shorter outerwear reminds me of bag ladies.

Wearing a coat over a cardigan would be too much for me. The cardigan would be enough. However I am not on the east coast.

now that we are talking about this, it would have been nice if he had made a long scarf in the same material and colors to go with the long cardigan. i really do love this piece and will be buying another color.
