It's time to wear on a sweater - stylists' recommendations

Sweaters are the ultimate fashion accessory for women! They are good for both the warm season, for example, for spring and autumn, and for winter.

I. Choosing a sweater for fall and winter

1. Try an oversized sweater. Such models are an excellent, comfortable choice for autumn and winter, you will feel cozy and warm and look stylish. There are many ways to make an oversized sweater look cute: a belt will give your sweater shape and style. You can choose a thin belt with sweater folds hanging over it, or a large belt. Wear a sash around your waist for a nice silhouette; wear your oversized sweater with leggings and boots. Leggings and boots are a great choice for fall and winter. Try not to wear patterned leggings with a patterned sweater because there will be too many patterns!

2. Wear fun leggings or tights. For a dull gray look that can come in the fall and winter, a pair of fun, brightly colored leggings or tights can spice up a sweater. You can pair them with a sweater dress or long sweater. Patterned leggings or tights are great for a plain sweater. For example: You can pair colored leggings (with shades of purple, green and yellow) with a black or gray sweater (you can even wear a long green sweater if you're not in your teens!).
Bright solid color leggings or tights are ultimate fashion ideas for autumn and winter. As an example, you can pair solid light green tights with a darker patterned sweater (ideal if there are hints of light green in the sweater pattern).

3. Combine a sweater with jeans. Jeans are incredibly versatile and look cool with sweaters. This is the perfect fall or winter look. Different types of sweaters paired with different types of jeans will give you a varied look. A pair of ripped, holey jeans with rolled-up cuffs looks great with an volume or oversized chunky knit sweater. A perfect look for this lazy rainy Sunday afternoon...
Pair your pretty jeans with a V-neck jumper, paired with a gemstone necklace, or a cardigan over a shirt for a more feminine silhouette. A great option for a day walk through the rustling autumn leaves!
Different sweaters will create different looks depending on the jeans. You can wear a stylish cardigan over a shirt or a casual v-neck sweater with ripped jeans. On the whole the possibilities are endless.

4. Use a collar. There is nothing more stylish than the combination of a collared shirt and a quality V-neck sweater. Make sure the collar is fully visible and not covered by your sweater.
You can adorn up your business look with a pair of jeans or wear nice black trousers.

5. Pair your sweater with a leather jacket. You can pair any of your sweaters with a leather jacket and it will look great (a leather jacket is a fantastic accessory!), but a turtleneck looks especially good. Wear a darker colored sweater and add a long necklace for the right accent.

6. Accessorize your sweater. There are many things you can add to spruce up the look. Jewelery is always a great addition: a neat necklace or choker with a V-neck sweater accentuates the line of the outfit, while something like a pair of dangling earrings paired with a knitted sweater will give you a little chic.
Scarves are also great accessories, they also retain heat and microclimate well in the cold season.
Boots also go well with sweaters: loose-fitting sweaters, a beautiful jumper and jeans, a sweater dress. They add flair to your look and keep your feet warm!

II. Sweater for spring and summer — selection features

1. Choose the right fabric. When you're looking for a beautifully designed sweater for spring/summer, don't choose a fabric that is very warm, like cashmere. You need lightweight and breathable fabric.
As for the fabric, choose a good mix of silk (viscose), cotton and nylon. They will breathe, keep you warm (especially in air-conditioned offices) and won't weigh down your look.
An oversized knitted sweater is a great idea for a summer or spring look. Wear it over a pastel-colored maxi dress or t-shirt and rolled up jeans.

2. Choose from light, summer and spring colors. Brightly colored or heavy black sweaters are good for fall, but they're not what you want to wear in spring and summer. Choose colors and prints in light colors (typically pastels, such as pale pink or blue).
Gray is a great companion color for a combination of fun summer prints. For example, if you wear a gray top in combination with a bright printed skirt, the emphasis is on the skirt, and the gray top emphasizes it, but does not distract attention.
Pale, pastel colors are great because they won't heat up in the sun like black or dark purple, for example.

3. Pair your sweaters with light bottoms. Part of cultivating a summer or spring look is pairing a sweater with something more summery. It can be something like a knitted sweater with a bright sporty miniskirt.
Another good idea is to combine a white button-down sweater with loose trousers (cotton) and white sandals.
You can also pair a light V-neck sweater with an airy knee-length skirt. It is necessary to strive to balance the form: «airy» bottom and tight top and vice versa.

4. Aim for the rule «layer-by-layer». The secret to wearing sweaters properly is multiple layers. This is justified by the fact that during the day the temperature will fluctuate.
For example, wear a summer sweater over a tank top so you're ready for when the sun comes out from behind a cloud. When choosing a cardigan, pay attention so that it can be fastened and unfastened.

III. Common Mistakes

1. Avoid festive sweaters. Even if you think it's a good idea or Grandma will be hurt if you don't wear her gift, it's ironic to wear the sweater because it's ill-timed.
In fact, the only reason to wear a festive sweater might be a festive themed party.

2. Try to stay away from sweaters that turn into «solid spools». This may seem complicated, because it is quite difficult to explain what sweater is taken by the spools. However, there are a few things you can look out for in order to reduce the likelihood that you will run into this problem after wearing a sweater twice.
The appearance of the material for the sweater. Merino wool, for example, has a higher density and is less likely to cough than delicate, fine cashmere.
You should also pay attention to the length of the fibers used in the sweater, especially when it comes to natural raw materials such as cashmere. Longer fibers are made into tighter yarns, making the ends less likely to come loose (resulting in pilling).
After wearing, it is recommended to give the sweater «to rest» for 24 hours before wearing it again because this allows the fibers to rest from the stretch that occurs when wearing it.

3. Choose your own sweater. Choose sweaters that look good on you, ones that you feel confident in. A hooded sweater or cropped jumper or oversized sweater is not for everyone.
Try to avoid just following «fashion trends» in the point of view of sweaters. You can't be insecure and shrug your skin these days, because that means you're stuck with choices and got a bunch of sweaters you probably won't wear.
Also be careful with the color. This beautiful mustard color might look good on a mannequin, but that doesn't mean it will necessarily look good on you (not many people, furnishings are all shades of yellow).

4. Avoid the look of a vacationer outside the city. Tying a sweater around your neck (especially if it's a button-down pastel sweater) will give the impression that you're off to a country yacht club. If you do not need such a look, it is better to stay away from it.
