The
key to transitioning from Summer to Fall means layering! Lots and lots of
layering! It's no secret that the weather can prove to be temperamental from
day to day (especially in SoCal). Sometimes the weather throughout the day can
include a cool and potentially foggy morning, a sunny and warm afternoon, and a
pretty chilly night.
One
of my favorite go-to looks for chillier weather includes a cute crewneck
sweater and a collared blouse under it. You'll definitely see me sporting this
preppy look often throughout the next few months! I love how this look is so
simple and versatile yet very chic and polished!
I
wore my favorite vintage blouse with detailed cutouts in the collar and layered
a blue knit crewneck sweater over it. I paired that with some dark blue
corduroys and cuffed them at the ankle. Lastly, I finished off my look with
some heeled sandals. Because I live in SoCal, I'm able to get away with wearing
sandals for maybe another month or so, which I'll take full advantage of!
Just
remember that crewneck sweaters are the equivalent to a t-shirt when the
temperature starts to drop! They're versatile and can be dressed either up or
down depending on the occasion. See below for some tips and ideas on styling
this Fall/Winter staple!
Tips:
1) Preppy. For a preppy look,
make sure to layer your crewneck sweater over a collared blouse. Tuck your
blouse into a pair of trousers and maybe finish the look with a cute oxford
shoe. When wearing a flat shoe, such as the oxford, try cuffing your trousers
to show off a little ankle. If it's pretty cold and calls for an additional
layer, I suggest throwing on a cute blazer over your crewneck sweater and
collared shirt combo. This makes for a really preppy and polished look!
2) Glamorous. You can glam up your
crewneck sweater for an evening out by accessorizing strategically. Try pairing
your crewneck sweater with a cute mini skirt (with tights underneath to keep
you a bit warmer) and some heels. Accessorize with glitzy and glamorous
jewelry, such as a sparkly statement necklace.
3) Laid back. Style your crewneck
sweater with some jeans or cute shorts and tights. I've layered some cute
high-waisted denim cutoff shorts over tights and thrown on a crewneck for a
simple and comfy outfit. Maybe pair it with some sneakers like Converse or Keds
to complete the comfy laid back look.
No matter how you style your crewneck sweater, remember that you want your
sweater to fit properly for the look you're going for. Fitted sweaters work
well for preppy and glamorous looks, which chunky and baggy sweaters work
really well for the comfy laid back look. Have fun and let me know how you feel
about my favorite Fall/Winter staple.
