How To Wear ‘An Oversized Sweater And A Camisole’ Combo

Elevate an oversized sweater with a too-chic-to-cover-up camisole – pair it with distressed denim and a cult-worthy bag for off-duty impact.

 These styles use a loose knitting style that creates larger holes – making the sweater kind of see through and very breathable, even if it’s heavy yarn. There are so many ways to wear this kind of sweater and we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites! Basic, seamless tank tops are so great for layering! You can go for a spaghetti strap, racerback, or sleeveless tank. Try a camisole that either matches the sweater or blends into your skin. You can also wear a basic tank underneath, so you can take the sweater off if you get too hot. We suggest to wear something that you won’t mind wearing solo, just in case you want to peel off your top layer.

Sacai’s Spring ’17 capsule is inspired by fabrics traditionally used for sportswear. This sweatshirt is cut from soft, spongy cotton-blend jersey and paneled with a laser-cut poplin back. A trim of lace peeking out from the camisole lining makes it feel elegant.

Sweater Style To Steal

They call this sweater weather with good reason — when Winter hits there’s nothing we love more than a good knit. Apparently a lot of celebrities feel the same way. We all have a common goal:

stylishly outsmart fall’s chilly climates.When it comes to colder winter days, the sweater is a very important piece that can be worn so many different ways. Not only are they comfortable and come in different variations, but worn the right way they can flatter the figure.

These ladies do so with such style, so flip through  and take notes from them.

Get Cozy: Best Knits For Fall

No doubt about it: Gone are the days of sundresses, sandals, cut-offs, and crop tops (insert thumbs-down emoji here).  It might be brisk out there, but I’ve got the perfect reason to wipe away that post-summertime sadness: sweater weather. Because who doesn’t love a cozy sweater? Um, basically no one. They are exactly the kind of thing that people get “excited” for during fall. There’s something about a giant, oversized pullover or soft, luxe cardigan that just brings a sense of warmth and comfort on a crisp fall day. Add in a pair of killer boots, a hat and a nice hot beverage, and you’re set to take on fall like a pro. From stripes to prints to cable-knits, I rounded up the coziest sweaters to brave fall’s chilly weather in style.

Fashion Therapist

There’s a good chance that what you’re wearing right now reflects what your state of mind was when you opened your closet door this morning. Besides practical wardrobe considerations, women often choose clothing based on their feelings.

Did you know that a British survey studied what makes up a woman’s favorite “happy” or “bad mood” outfits? Happy women preferred clothes that are “well-cut, figure-enhancing, and made from bright and beautiful fabrics,” while women in a bad mood gravitate toward baggy tops and jeans. Here are some tips on how to be your own “fashion therapist” and interpret what your clothes are trying to tell you.

(Jeans also made the happy clothes list, but ranked below a favorite dress, jewelry and favorite shoes.) Even when we need to wear a uniform, we often manage to sneak in an expression of our inner self. For example, a teenager in private school can choose to wear a pink cardigan, or a gray hoodie over her requisite pants and shirt, and her choice might indicate if it’s a happy day or a sad day for her. A working-woman may have her wardrobe dictated by her employer, but she may choose a beautiful jacket or a saggy old sweater to keep her warm on the way to work. Selecting the old sweater may be a result of feeling down when she left her house, and she may choose the jacket on better days.

In contrast, spending a day in drab, unflattering clothes may darken a bright mood. Why not try a fashion application of basic behavioral therapy? When you’re feeling bad, try avoiding an impulse toward clothes that reflect that bad feeling. Instead, reach for something that you would usually choose on a happy day. You may feel strange putting it on, but your mood may soon reflect your more positive fashion choice. We all like to seek refuge in our “bad day” clothes sometimes, just like we all need a big hot fudge sundae sometimes, but we can make these times less frequent and less habitual. Making an effort to treat yourself to your happy clothes, regardless of a sad feeling, reminds you that you’re worth the effort, and that you deserve to feel good in your clothes.

So, if you find yourself feeling sad and wearing a baggy top and unflattering jeans, go back to the closet. Put on some happy day clothes and maybe your mood will follow.

Fall Layering Techniques

Fall is here! For many of us it means buying pumpkin-spiced everything! For others it’s a chance to update our wardrobe and use the cooler temperatures to our advantage by layering up and playing with our style. I know I’m already trying out new ways to wear some of my summer favorites with my fall staples. Below are some other layering techniques that you might have not tried yet. ‘Tis the season, as they say. Let me know what you think in the comments section. How are you layering up this fall?

Lots Of Knit- I love mixing and playing with textures. It’s something that I can definitely do once the temperatures cool down, especially with knit. Try a creative yet chic knit-on-knit look. You could come up with something eye-catching, similar to the look below.

Denim Vest- Wear a denim vest over your favorite fall outfit in order to stay warm and trendy at the same time. It’s a rock and roll style look that I absolutely covet

A Chunky Sweater- Stay comfy in a chunky sweater. Wear it over your favorite jeans. I can see me wearing a chunky sweater with my favorite denim flared pants all fall and winter long.

Over-The-Shoulder Outerwear- Throw your favorite jacket or coat over your shoulders in order to look chic. It’s a confident fashionable styling trick that I look forward to trying out this fall.

Gifts Inspiration for Fashionable Friends

While getting what you want is definitely going to anyone’s Christmas merrier, I think we can all agree that giving is something that makes us feel just as good, too. I personally have started to think about and list down the things that I want to give my family and my friends so I can go buy them once the list is complete. Right now, I’m completing the list for my girl friends, most of whom are obsessed with fashion, so I thought I’d share with you what I found that I thought any fashion lover would lover. Check out our Christmas Gift Guide 2014 for fashionable finds for your style-loving friends.

• A COMFY SWEATER – Christmas sweaters are cute and all but you’ll want to give your friends something that they can wear even after Christmas has gone. A cute and comfy sweater is something that I know a lot of women will appreciate so if you’re looking for something to give to a friend, scour the stores for a cute and comfy sweater.

 

 



• BOOTS – know someone who goes crazy over shoes? Why not help them build their collection and give them a pair of gorgeous boots for Christmas? Over the knee boots are quickly becoming the latest trend in fashion so get one for your friend who loves to make a statement. Or maybe go for a pair of ankle boots so she can wear them all year round.

 

 

 

• JEWELRY – if you have a friend who loves to dress up all the time, I’m sure they’ll appreciate receiving some new accessories, especially jewelry as these tend to really take any outfit up a notch. Of course, you’ll want to match the jewelry you give to your friends’ personalities.

TRENDGUIDE: HOW TO WEAR PASTELS THIS SEASON

So spring isn’t quite here yet but I’m a big fan of pretty pastels any time of year. The key to pulling them off in the winter or spring ? Read on for my tips and outfit ideas below…

•  small details like the belt, shoes and bag make a big difference
• Boyfriend jeans are easily dressed up or down and make an edgy, unexpected combination with the pastel top and bag
• Mixing lighter shades can look a little young so add metallic accents (I went for the footwear) to add some sophistication

What do you think? Will you be mixing pastels any time soon? xo

LEOPARD PRINT LEGGINGS - how to wear ?

Leopard print leggings are not for the fashion faint of heart but if you’re set on trying these trendy bottoms, here are a few of my tips. When trying to style different ways to wear leopard print leggings, think basics, basics and more basics according to the season. Here’s my go-to look right now for fall with a fabulous pair I picked up .

• Oversized tops. Balance out the skin-tight leggings with an oversized sweater or tank top and boyfriend cardigan in neutral shades.
• Plain shoes. You don’t want too much happening all at once so stick with one color footwear like brown loafers and a black riding boot or pump.
• Pop of color. Throw in an accessory in a complimentary shade of red, green, blue or beige.

And remember to only wear something you feel comfortable in! The key to wearing something that seems outrageous on the hanger is confidence ! xo
