It may not yet be time for a winter coat but it’s definitely time for knitwear. What to buy? Invest in neutral , cream or choc brown. You want a knit to make a statement, a knit that can handle being worn on its own - it doesn’t need the help of a blazer or coat. It should be fashiony enough to stand on its own as is. It can be slouchy and oversized or just a rib knit that is roomy. My advice? Don’t invest in black: Boring, not so flattering next to the face and tricky to style.
(black sweater + black pants = snoozefest). ( I am falling asleep thinking about it). Those black sweaters you already own? toss them back with your high waist beige pants or wide leg blue denim. A black knit works with black leather pants & under a black blazer.
Just saying if can only buy one sweater don’t spend your money on a black one. How to wear a slouchy sweater ? Swipe ! If it’s cropped (this one is @aerelabel) it will look great with beige barrel leg pants @lululemonausnz * It will look fabulous with leather shorts ( or leather pants) in brown, khaki or black. * It will love hanging long over a long maxi flirty skirt . * It will adore getting a half tuck into jeans * It will love white jeans especially in winter. * It will want to be layered over a shirt ( if it’s not too oversized) (with the shirt cuffs hanging out) * Check out the menswear section: quite often better cut, a little slouchier and sturdier fabric. * Wear your stripe knit as a scarf: work wonders tossed around your neck. * Fashion tip: Buy two of the same inexpensive knits then wear the second matching one around your shoulders a la Celine LTKautumn LTKaustralia LTKstyletip
