Cosy up in a transition-weather favourite
The sweater is one of those ubiquitous staples that everyone
has in their closet, but few give it the credit it deserves.
This shouldn’t be the case—not when the throw-on is now
turning up on shopping shelves with a spirited beat.
Even though the simplicity of the sweater’s form lends itself
perfectly to any lifestyle, it’s the way the sweater has been
recast that’ll make the statement on your behalf. Oversized
versions, for example, add a cooler-than-thou edge to the
look, while arresting images and bold patterns play up the
graphic slant.Anchor the sweater’s versatility with a pair of
embellished jeans or a mini skirt, before grounding the
ensemble with sandals or hardy boots brimming with swagger.
