Now that the fall season has officially begun, you might think that means boring, bulky clothes, but that's not the case. In today's article, you'll learn four simple tips that will help you transform your winter wardrobe with great sweaters.
How to buy sweaters
The first rule of the perfect youth cropped sweaters is no ugly Christmas sweaters. When shopping for sweaters, experts recommend first thinking through the entire look you want to create. And then build on it from there. Let's say you decide to wear high boots with a skirt that is above the knee. If you want to create a layered look, you can wear a cashmere white long-sleeved cropped sweater, a blazer and a scarf draped over your shoulders.
Or you can choose a longer, heavier white knit sweater that sits above the knee (just above the skirt). You can then style it with a wide, stylish belt to add balance and interest.
Cut, length, volume and fabric
Overall, you'll want to pay attention to cut, length, volume, and texture, as each has a significant impact on your appearance and functionality.
As with any top, you have plenty of options when it comes to the neckline. Think carefully about your neckline and how it looks on you. If you're cold, a short white turtleneck sweater is always a great option. But this season, the cutout sweater is in fashion. Check it out as a stylish alternative.
The funnel neckline is similar to an imitation turtleneck, only the fabric is looser in the neck area. Many people love the modern look of the cutout sweater, and it's so comfortable too. You also have more neckline options like V-neck, boat neck, crew neck, shoulder neckline, etc. The list goes on and on.
Length
The length of the sweater also plays an important role in creating the look. Are you looking for a trendy cropped sweater to layer over a colored tank or turtleneck? Or will you choose a sweater dress for colder days? Or opt for a traditional waist-length white knit sweater? Think about what you will pair the sweater with and decide based on that.
Volume
Depending on the style you're going for, the volume of a sweater makes a big difference. If you want to look relaxed and need a quick, fuss-free look, a sweater that fits more loosely and gives you room to move is the way to go.
Important: Be careful because if you wear sweaters that are too baggy, they can give you too much bulk. Trust me, you'll know it when you see it.
On the other hand, if you want a clean, classic and structured look, then fitted sweaters are the way to go.
Fabric and knitting
The fabric and knitting of the sweater gives you so many options to choose from. Wool, cashmere, angora, fleece, cable knit, ribbed knit - the list goes on and on. Remember that the fabric and knit of a sweater has a lot to do with its volume, so keep that in mind when choosing your cozy top.
