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.
