Sweaters Rule

We’ve been noticing a chill in the air lately (yes, even in L.A.!) which means sweater season is quickly approaching. Here are some sweater-wearing rules to keep in mind:

1. Just say “NO” to bulk – nothing is less flattering (or adds more lbs) than a big, bulky sweater. Keep them slim and fitted.

2. No Santa sweaters need apply – unless you’re 95 years old maybe, and even then, these sweaters might just land you on the Naughty list. We know it’s fun to get into the holiday spirit, but stay clear of sweaters decorated with Christmas trees or Thanksgiving turkeys. If you feel so inspired, trade in that themed nightmare for a gorgeous red cashmere sweater – which will help keep you on Santa’s Good list.

3. Wrap it up – we LOVE wrap sweaters. Enough said.

4. It’s in the details – embrace the trendy, of-the-moment looks that add some modern elements. Think oversized buttons, lace embellishments or empire waists.


** For the Fashionistas:
We’re in love with the grandpa-inspired cardigans for fall. Menswear is a big trend this season, so throw one on with a wide-leg pair of jeans, but be sure to add some feminine accessories to keep it girly – floral embellishments will be big for spring, so indulge in this trend early and pin on a floral broach or rock an oversized floral ring, (such as this gorgeous bloom from Kenneth Jay Lane)
