Aside from the rich colours that pave our street style runways, one other fashionable item that jumps to sight and mind is the oversized sweater. Fall is all about layers in my opinion, and the perfect time to feature your personal styles. This Fashionista made it a point to embrace fall in all it's glory by sporting an extremely cozy looking oversized knit sweater. While her body language was fashioned after her comfy-chic look, her calm, laid back style had me approaching her before you could say “layers”.
Fall is more of a mid-point between summer and winter. The air becomes more chilly and because of that, we are often flustered because its not cold enough to wear a coat but at the same time, a cardigan just won’t cut it. Gone are the days when one had to choose between comfort and style. The emergence of self-expression in fashion has broken all the rules and now we don’t have to choose. Have both or all of them, I say.
Sweaters (next to scarves) are probably one of the most versatile fall pieces you can own, so I suggest you snag a few. It's versatility allows for flexability in budget and style so it suits anyone. This wrap sweater from Joe Fresh is a great alternative. It's very current in fall trends and is also the magic word that I’m sure most CollegeFashionistas love to hear: affordable. This just proves that bigger is better for your style and your pocket.
So when you go buy your sweater, don’t forget to oversize!
