Sequins, rhinestones, bows, novelty details — these sweaters feel fun in theory… but they often limit how wearable your outfit actually is. When the sweater is doing everything, the rest of the outfit has nowhere to go. Styling options shrink, outfits feel one-note, and pieces get worn once (maybe twice). Effortless winter style usually starts with clean, elevated knits — and lets layering, texture, and fit do the work. This is a big reason closets feel full but unwearable.
