Method 3: Choose a Sweater to Wear
1. Wear Colors That Match the Outfit and the Occasion
Consider colors like dark blue, brown, and black to be formal. Colors like gray and white can look formal but are easy to wear in most situations. Brighter shades like baby blues and reds are harder to find but work best in casual settings. For the most part, the color doesn't matter what other clothes you choose to pair with the sweater.
- Dark colors usually work well when you don't want to stand out too much. If you're going for a more refined or professional style, try using a dark sweater as part of your ensemble.
- Lighter colors are perfect for fun, less serious events. Avoid extremely brightly colored sweaters, though, unless you're planning to make a statement.
2. Wear a Pattern if You Intend to Make the Pattern the Focal Point of Your Outfit
The pattern on the sweater is a lot like the colors, the more colors, the less formal the sweater will look. Everyone will notice the pattern, so complement the one on your sweater with your other outfits. Pair it with other clothes for an understated look. Pair your sweater with clean jeans and simple, modest shoes.
- The Argyle consists of colored interlocking diamonds and is one of the most popular patterns. Keep the rest of the outfit plain to avoid color clashes. You can wear a regular blazer over it to keep it stylish.
- Houndstooth, checkered, and black and white patterns are also trending and fashionable.
3. Choose Skin-Friendly and Comfortable Warm Fabrics
The most expensive sweaters are made from animal furs like wool and cashmere, so you can expect them to keep you warm. Cotton is a more affordable option that gives you a variety of styling options in cooler weather. There are also synthetic sweaters made from materials such as polyester, which are lower quality but generally more durable and more comfortable on bare skin.
- Most of the time, you get what you pay for. Wool and cashmere tend to be expensive but are of great quality. Many synthetic sweaters attempt to mimic these qualities but are poorly made, so be sure to try yours on before buying.
- The more expensive the sweater, the more delicate it is likely to be. Wool and cashmere, for example, degrade when exposed to heat, water, and stretching. Synthetic sweaters can usually be thrown in the washing machine without any problem.
- Wool and cashmere are somewhat delicate. Heating, stretching, and soaking can damage them over time.
4. Choose a Round Neck, Which Can Be Matched with Any Type of Clothing
Start your wardrobe with a crew neck that will work with even the most basic tee. A crew neck is a short collar that doesn't reveal what you're wearing under a sweater. This sweater can be worn at the office or for an evening out with friends.
- Crewnecks are usually great for casual looks. Try pairing it with some regular jeans and a basic shirt for an understated look. You can swap in a pair of formal jeans or even a blazer for a more sophisticated look.
- Crew necks go well with button-down shirts and simple tees. Tuck the collar inside the sweater so your outfit looks neat.
- A similar but less common option is the scoop neck sweater. A scoop neck is a crew neck similar to a crew neck that exposes more skin. It's perfect worn with jeans and a tee for a casual, effortless look.
5. Use a V-Neck Sweater for a More Formal Look
V-necks are fancier than crew necks, mainly because you plan to wear them with button-down shirts. A V-neck sweater will expose more of the neck and top of the chest. These sweaters often have a slimming effect as the chevron draws attention downwards.
- You can layer a crewneck T-shirt over your sweater for a more casual look, but avoid V-neck T-shirts. The exposed skin didn't quite sit well with the more formal aesthetic of the sweater.
- Wear your sweater with a collared shirt and tie for a more formal look. Use different tie and sweater colors for style. For example, you can use red or blue to brighten up your outfit.
- Or, look for a sweater vest. Think of them like a V-neck sweater with no sleeves. A sweater vest is meant to complement whatever else you're wearing, not a cover-up like a full v-neck sweater.
6. Choose a Cardigan for a Thin but Balanced Sweater
Cardigans usually have zippers or buttons on the front. Most people leave their cardigans open to reveal the shirt underneath. Team the cardigan with jeans and a tee in the warmer months, or switch to more formal clothing for professional occasions. You can show off your decorum by wearing a button-down shirt and tie under your cardigan.
- Cardigans are generally thin except for the collar, so you have to set it off with a shirt. For example, a thin hem goes well with a white T-shirt paired with skinny black jeans.
- Many people think that the cardigan is something only Grandpa would wear, but it's a stylish and versatile option. The cardigan has buttons and can be easily taken off. Some even have pockets.
- A shawl collar sweater is similar to a cardigan, only with a larger collar. A shawl collar is a round lapel that hangs down your front like a V-neck. It's perfect for adding more sophistication and style to a basic cardigan.
7. Wear a Turtleneck to Look Slimmer and Taller
Wear a fitted turtleneck over a simple tee and jeans. Your sweater will keep you warm while showing off your figure. You can wear the turtleneck as is or add a blazer over it for a more classy look. It works best in fall and winter when you usually have to wear heavy clothing to keep you warm.
- Turtlenecks are versatile, but not for everyone. Some people don't like turtlenecks. Make sure your sweater fits well and match it carefully with the rest of your clothing to make sure it looks great on you.
8. If You Are Afraid of the Cold and Love Design, Choose a Cable Knit Sweater
Cable-knit sweaters are thick and perfect for fending off the harshest winter weather. They have elaborately woven designs. Leave your blazers at home and show off your sweaters. Most cable-knit sweaters are made from light-colored wool, but you can also find them in colors like blue and green.
- Casual knit sweaters look best in outdoor settings. Wear it when you're sitting around a campfire, for example. Avoid dates or sleepovers on the town.
- The Aran sweater is a relaxed knit from the coast of Ireland, so you can expect a good sweater for the gloomiest weather.
