get cozy with fall sweaters

that we’ve all had our fix of our favorite pumpkin spice lattes, it is time to think about getting cozy in some cute sweaters. I always like to buy my sweaters early in the fall because then I can get lots of good use out of them in the cooler parts of fall and into winter. Plus, depending on where you are buying them, sizes can sometimes get picked over way too quickly.

Turtleneck

The thought of turtleneck sweaters may make some of you cringe depending on how claustrophobic you get. Turtlenecks don’t have to be tight to your neck. Look for a great cowl neck to pull off this look. Otherwise, if you can handle things around your neck, look for a chunkier sweater that looks perfect to cuddle up in. Turtlenecks are the perfect top to wear a long necklace with.

Cardigans

Pullover

This is the most basic of sweaters. You can wear these types of sweaters year after year and get a lot of mileage out of them. Normally I like to go for solid colors or minimal patterned sweaters, but I have been known to throw a print one in the mix every now and again. Look for sweaters with bell sleeves or try an off the shoulder style. The more trendy of a sweater you go for the less money I would invest in it. If you want to add some pattern to a pullover sweater you can always layer it over your favorite button up. Styling it this way is a great way to add length and make a classic sweater more versatile.

are probably my favorite type of sweater. I love to layer sweaters over my favorite t-shirts and blouses. Look for loose fitting, long cardigans. The perfect length is one that hits you about mid-thigh. This is a type of sweater you can wear with pretty much anything. Which makes it totally worth the investment and something that’s great to travel with.

Tunic

Tunic sweaters are perfect for a more casual look with skinny jeans or pants. I love a nice long sweater. For the length of a tunic, look for one that hits you on your upper to mid-thigh. Generally, since these are a longer style, you want them loose fitting. This will make the bottoms you pick with them very important. You don’t want to end up being totally baggy from head to toe. I love a tunic sweater with legging jeans and boots. It’s a great look to stay a little warmer and perfect for an outdoor football game.

Dress

I love wearing sweater dresses because as it gets colder out it’s hard to find dresses warm enough to wear. A chunky sweater dress with a turtle neck can provide just enough warmth to offset cold legs. Find yourself a great pair of black tights and a cute sweater dress and it’s something you can wear to church or for upcoming holidays.
