While the Sydney weather still allows for us to bare skin in
dresses and singlets, we’re well into Autumn now, and as the mercury starts to
drop, sweaters are quickly becoming our best friends. Once upon a time, the
only sweaters anyone wore were those grandma knitted and sent us for Christmas.
But let’s just say, Grandma was onto something!
Sweaters are one of this season’s biggest must-haves for both men and
women. Not only are they perfect for throwing on on those lazy days, but they
are extremely versatile and can be styled for almost any occasion. “How?” you
ask?! Here are just a few ways we like to personalise our basic, and definitely
one of the most worn sweaters in our wardrobe.
Collars
Whether it be a collared blouse or dress, peeping a collar over the top of your sweater adds a cute touch to what would otherwise be plain and boring. Experiment with different colours, styles such as Peter Pan collars, and even textures such as lace, studded or sequined collars!
Statement Necklace
What better way to style a trend than with another trend?! Statement necklaces and sweaters are a match made in heaven. During the colder months many of us tend to turn to duller palettes. But necklaces, like the bright pink one we've got on, add the perfect touch of colour to brighten your look and jazz it up for the fanciest of occassions.
Scarf
Scarves are the optimal functional accessory. The infinite patterns and styles of scarves out there mean you can personalise your winter look, while staying super cosy!
So next time you decide to throw on a sweater, make sure you remember our quick and simple tips to turn lounge wear into an outfit fit for any occassion.
Let us know which one was your favourite or other ways you might add a little pizazz to your sweaters!

I've always found the collar over the sweater look so hard to pull off! I need to keep trying this year haha :P

Definitely persist with it and let us know how it goes!

Great tips! I also love layering sweaters with collared shirts, it makes it look a bit more dressy without trying too hard. Another alternative to the statement necklace I like to do is to pin a few decorative brooches.

ReplyDeletesometimes I like to put multiple vintage brooches around my neckline of a plain jumper, or just one in the middle of my collar if i'm wearing a shirt underneath, sometimes it can make a quirky alternative to a necklace :)
ReplyDeleteI love that pink necklace in the picture though. beautiful!
Such a good idea for a post, I'm never out of my sweaters in england! <3 xx
We love the idea of having a brooch in the middle of the collar. We will have to try it out!

That necklace is just gorgeous! I love how you stayed away from duller and boring colours usually associated with autumn or winter. Thanks for the inspiration!!

You welcome! We don't really follow rules when it comes to colours and seasons. We love our pastels and brights so we still love wearing them throughout the cooler months. We think it's a real mood-lifter on a gloomy autumn/winter day to be wearing something bright :)

Hello, Australia!!! :-) We're getting into the warmer months over here in the UK (thank goodness!) but over our winter, sweaters (we call them jumpers!) were a huge thing! I love my loose-knit cram jumper teamed up with a long necklace and coloured jeans. Great post!

We sometimes like to keep accessories to a minimal too but it's only recently that we've started to experiment with statement necklaces. We think that a simple dainty necklace will be just as effective in spicy up any sweater :)
