T
he autumn weather is also known as sweater
weather, a time to wear sweaters all season
long! Sweaters of all shapes, colors, textures, and makes practically take over our fall
wardrobe. It’s the reason why our closets are
stuffed to the brim—because sweaters are so
easy to style! Tossed over a light blouse, stacked over a chambray top, tucked into a skater skirt, or worn cropped with a pair
of your favorite high-waisted pants—the amount of outfit creations you can style with a sweater are simply endless. There is
no going wrong with a sweater!
We’ve seen a variety of sweater trends over the past
fall seasons: cropped, Cosby-inspired, fuzzy, striped, and
more. This fall’s latest addition comes in a bigger and better
form—one we are going to cuddle up into this whole season.
Oversized sweaters have been seen on the runway in collections from The Row, Prada, Milly, and Marc Jacobs. Paired
with trench coats, knee high boots, menswear-inspired neckties, or feminine belts, these oversized tops perfectly work for
everyday, fashionable wear.
From Barney’s and Net-A-Porter to Neiman Marcus
and ShopBop, splurging on one or two oversized designer
sweaters is definitely a fashionable investment. For more wallet-friendly sweaters, check out some of our favorite stores: J.
Crew, Uniqlo, Express, and Zara. When shopping for sweaters
like these, look for good quality at a great price, especially if
you want it to last the whole season.
Remember: the bigger, the better! So cozy up into
what will ultimately become your favorite knitwear piece this
fall and continue to read up on Cliché. A perfect combo, don’t
you agree? BY VICTORIA OLMO
