WORKWEAR FALL ESSENTIALS
r e t a e Sw r e h t a e W
s r e t a e w S l l y Fa z o C t s e B The Hot and humid is out, comfy and cozy is in! With the arrival of fall, comes the changing of trees, cooler weather, and crisp breezes. This new season calls for a new wardrobe for this sweater weather. Although some of us can’t help but associate sweaters with grandmas and ugly Christmas sweaters, the truth is that there are so many trendy styles and ways to wear them. Not to mention, sweaters are the best way to stay warm as the temperatures begin to drop. Urban Planet has a great selection of a variety of sweater styles. Here are some of our favourite cozies this season.
Comfy Turtlenecks
Cozy Cardigans
Oversized sweaters are perfect for looking cozy and warm, but still look cute and put together (so basically every day). We love pairing an oversized sweater with leggings or skinny jeans and your favourite pair of booties to balance out your body’s shape. These sweaters look amazing on women of all shapes and sizes and are very on-trend for the season. They are the perfect fall daytime piece and can take you from cool September days to frigid and snowy December.
A women’s cardigan is probably the perfect fall piece because of its versatile and endless ways to wear them. Cardigans can be paired with anything and everything, no matter what kind of look you’re trying to go for. They can be thrown over workwear without hindering your professional appearance, they complement a night out attire for a simple yet edgy look, and they even work for a slouchy lazy day outfit.
We already know what you’re thinking. Turtlenecks remind you of your grandma and there is nothing sexy about them. On the contrary, if you wear a turtleneck properly, these sweaters can look seriously chic. We love the look of a form-fitted turtleneck sweater tucked in with a fun ripped pant and eye-catching belt. Turtleneck outfits like these are definitely something that your grandmother would never wear. Snug Oversized Sweaters
