Welcome to the most amazing season of the year: the sweater season. Whether you like fall or not, the fashion possibilities of this season are to die for, and any fashion enthusiast would agree with us on that.
When it comes to styling your sweaters, there are a lot of factors that can make even the most basic knit stand out. But we’re not talking about basic knits, we’re talking about a style of sweater that is stylish, practical and extremely versatile, so you’ll have no trouble adding it to your wardrobe.
Fancy Nancy
If you’re looking to dress up a cable knit sweater for a more elegant look, you need to focus on pairing it with structured, classy pieces. A knit sweater that is well chosen can easily become a chic, high-end outfit when you match it with some fancy trousers or a sleek pencil skirt.
You should choose neutral tones like cream, beige, or dark gray to give your outfit a sophisticated, clean look. For example, you can wear a fitted cable knit in an off-white shade with a pair of high-waisted black trousers.
Add some heeled boots, and finish the look with a long coat for a more mysterious chic touch. For accessories, wear some statement earrings to bring the look together without overpowering the sweater’s texture.
If skirts are more your style, you can tuck the sweater into a midi skirt, and pair it with ankle boots for a nice, feminine vibe.
Chill chic
Now, if you’re looking for a relaxed yet stylish look, styling a cable knit sweater into an outfit will be a piece of cake. Perfect for a casual day out or even just hanging with friends, the sweater can be styled in a way that’s both comfortable and effortlessly cool.
- For the best vibe, go for an oversized or slouchy cable knit in a soft neutral tone or a warm fall color like rust or olive.
- Pair it with skinny jeans or even leggings for a comfy but pulled-together outfit.
- To add a bit more charm, try throwing on a plaid scarf and your favorite pair of chunky boots or casual sneakers.
If the weather calls for extra warmth, layer a leather or denim jacket over your sweater, and you’re ready to go. This look is perfect for days when you want to be comfortable but still look like you’ve put some thought into your outfit.
Sporty
For those who prefer a more active or sporty-inspired look, that’s still possible with a cable knit sweater. While it may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of sportswear, a cable knit sweater can add a cozy layer to your more casual, athletic outfits.
Think of this look as sporty meets streetwear. Pair a cropped knit sweater with joggers or athletic pants, and finish off the outfit with a pair of clean, modern sneakers.
- For an even sportier vibe, keep the color palette simple, black, gray, or navy cable knits work great for this.
- The texture of the sweater adds a touch of style to what would otherwise be a simple workout outfit
- This makes it perfect for running errands, grabbing coffee, or lounging while still looking put together.
You can even layer it over a fitted t-shirt or tank top for added warmth and comfort.
