Not entirely. For one, a cropped cardigan is shorter, so it doesn't provide the warmth of a full-length cardigan. When choosing a piece of knitwear, you often want to make sure it doesn't make you look frumpy. Fashion is personal, and in the end, you should wear what makes you happy. If you are looking to give the illusion of a taller silhouette, you should choose a long and flowing cardigan, per the style blog La Donna di Charme.

Just because it is having a moment in fashion doesn't mean you need to follow it. Instead, you should try trends that look good on your body. Style bloggers at Fashion Lorraine don't recommend wearing them with long tops as they look unflattering and can create a weird shape. Before jumping on the bandwagon of the latest trends, you also need to consider your own body type. While the style can look great on all sizes, if you're petite or curvy, a cardigan that hits right at the waist keeps you on trend.

If you're looking for coverage, whether for warmth or modesty, it's probably time to ditch (or never pick up) the cropped cardigan trend.
