If your lawn is typical tall fescue, 3.5" is a compromise between what "looks" nice, and how much leaf surface the plant needs in order to turn sunlight into energy and fend off weeds.
Longer is better for the plant, naturally, but looks untidy.

I cut my lawn at 3.5". Not sure why other than that is what I set the mower to. I wonder if I should cut it longer?
