The Art of Proportion: Cropped vs. Long Layers

One of the simplest ways to change the look and feel of an outfit? Adjust the proportion. The length of your top layer—whether cropped, standard, or long—can completely transform how your outfit feels on your body.

That’s why we curated The Sweater Edit: three lengths—Dana (cropped), Elise (standard), and Kristin (duster)—so you always have the right one.


Standard Layers (Elise Sweater)

Style it like this:

  • Slim jeans + loafers + Elise for a simple uniform
  • Slip skirt + Elise for transitional layering

Cropped Layers (Dana Sweater)

  • Defines the waist, balances wide-leg pants + skirts
  • Feels modern + playful
  • Perfect over high-rise denim or a slip dress

Style it like this:

  • Wide-leg trousers + Dana cropped for a balanced silhouette
  • Slip dress or skirt + Dana cropped for waist definition and easy proportion play

Long Layers (Kristin Sweater)

  • Adds length + movement
  • Instantly polishes leggings + tees
  • Works open and flowy, or belted over a dress

Style it like this: 

  • Black pants or jeans + Kristin Long Sweater = instant polish
  • Midi dress + belted Kristin duster for shape + definition

👉 Shop Kristin Long Sweater


The art of proportion isn’t about following rules, it’s about knowing which length makes you feel comfortable and confident.

With The Sweater Edit, you don’t have to choose. You can have the right length for every outfit and every mood.
