A sweater is a comfortable and fashionable addition, no matter the occasion. If you have a lot of sweaters, you may be confused about how else to wear them. Don't worry, try a variety of mix and match, maybe you will be very happy to see what kind of style can be created.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Choosing a Sweater Model
Step 1. Choose a V-neck sweater for a casual look
Look for a sweater with a low neckline. This type of sweater is great for an outer layer and is fun to pair with casual clothes. Wear it with collared shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and the like.
Check the neckline before choosing a V-neck shirt. If the neckline of the sweater is way below the buttons on both shirts, look for a smaller sweater
Step 2. Create a sporty look with a round neck sweater
The term for a round neck cut is crewneck. Many sweaters fall into this category so they are very practical to combine with any outfit. You can wear it straight, or with a simple t-shirt and a well-cut shirt to make it look cooler.
If you want to be more stylish, wear a shirt or blouse under a sweater
Step 3. Choose a loose sweater for a more relaxed feel
Sort out any sweaters you have, including loose ones. Save a loose-fitting sweater for really cold weather when you just want to warm up. This sweater is perfect for casual wear, or if you want it to be neater, wear it with accessories and fabric trousers.
For example, you can wear a loose sweater with jeans or cloth pants. There's no right or wrong way to feel comfortable in a loose sweater
Step 4. Add an extra layer with a cardigan
Think of a cardigan as a jacket and sweater hybrid. Unlike other types of sweaters, the cardigan is more like an extra layer, but still important. Pair a cardigan with a simple t-shirt for a more casual look, or try it with a nice blouse or shirt if you want to look presentable.
- As a general rule, don't tuck a cardigan into your pants or skirt because it looks unprofessional.
- Many people prefer to roll up the sleeves of a cardigan to make it look more fashionable.
Step 5. Wear a turtleneck sweater for a neat, or casual look
Choose your favorite turtleneck sweater and pair it with fabric trousers, skirts, blazers, or other accessories that match the color scheme. You can look cooler by wearing a coat or blazer on it. Or, just wear it without another layer for a casual style.
Method 2 of 3: Creating a Casual Style
Step 1. Wear a sweater over a long-sleeved shirt for a comfortable feel
Choose a long-sleeved top that you haven't worn in a long time, such as a t-shirt or flannel shirt. Wear a comfortable sweater over it to create a fashionable look. Pair it with jeans, trousers, or regular trousers.
For example, you could wear a sleeveless sweater over a dark T-shirt and pair it with blue jeans
Step 2. Get a casual look with a torn sweater and jeans
Open your closet and look for worn jeans that still fit and are comfortable. Pick a sweater and let it fall past the waist. No need to tuck a sweater into your pants because this style actually makes you look more relaxed.
For example, you could wear a striped sweater with tattered jeans
Step 3. Wear a long cardigan for a comfortable and relaxed impression
Wear your favorite outdoor clothes, such as jeans and a t-shirt or a neater suit. Wear a cardigan afterwards, the longer the better. A sweater will keep you comfortable, but still stylish.
For example, you could wear a short-sleeved t-shirt with jeans and layer it with a hip or knee-length cardigan
Step 4. Add accents with a leather jacket to make it even cooler
Look for a leather jacket that matches the color of the sweater. Wear this leather jacket to balance the comfort and simplicity of a sweater.
Also try a jean jacket or other accessory
Step 5. Try experimenting with hanging accessories that also add convenience
Look for a scarf, poncho, scarf, or other accessory that can add a relaxing touch. Sling it over the shoulder for a boho look.
For example, wear a brown scarf after a neutral sweater and trousers, then pair it with boots
Step 6. Complete the look with sneakers or boots
Look for shoes that don't put pressure on the feet. Besides being comfortable, these shoes also reinforce the impression of casual, whatever your style.
Sneakers and boots are perfect for cold weather, when people usually wear sweaters
Method 3 of 3: Dress Professional
Step 1. Tuck the sweater into your pants or skirt if you're wearing it to work
Tuck the hem of the sweater behind the waistline, unless you're wearing a cardigan. This makes the appearance more presentable and professional.
For example, you can wear a neutral round-neck sweater over a shirt and tuck it in the waist of a skirt or pants. To complete, wear another blazer or suit
Step 2. Play with sweater textures for a classic look
Open your closet and see if you have a knit sweater or an embossed sweater. Wear this textured sweater for a touch of extra dimension and classic style.
For example, mix an embossed knit sweater with trousers or a professional skirt
Step 3. Wear the sweater over the shirt for a professional look
Choose a shirt or blouse in a neutral color, such as white, beige, or a matching one. Grab a round-neck sweater, V-neck, or cardigan, and wear it over the blouse or shirt, for a neat and professional look.
- Make sure the collar of the shirt is visible and folded neatly above the neckline of the sweater.
- For example, you can wear a neutral round-neck sweater over a polo shirt, paired with khakis or cloth pants.
Step 4. Wear a turtleneck sweater with a skirt or trousers for a neat look to the office
Think of a turtleneck sweater as a shirt, blouse, or sleeveless t-shirt. Pair this comfortable sweater with your favorite jeans or fabric pants, or wear a nice skirt for a sleek look. Play with different combinations until you find the one that fits best.
- For example, wear a dark turtleneck sweater with a dark knee-length skirt and ankle boots.
- You can also combine a turtleneck sweater with neat fabric pants and formal shoes.
Step 5. Wear a sweater and pants of the same color for a monochromatic style
Look for a sweater and trousers or skirt in the same color. Complete it with shoes and other accessories of the same color.
For example, wear a yellow sweater with yellow trousers, with yellow shoes. Complete it by wearing long earrings that are also yellow and a yellow handbag with long straps
Step 6. Pair a sweater with a blazer for a formal event
Wear your favorite sweater and add a blazer. Choose professional trousers or skirts that complement the blazer.
For example, wear a neutral V-neck sweater over a shirt with neat trousers, then wear a blazer over it
Step 7. Wear a sweater over a short dress for a fashionable look
Look for a stylish short dress that can serve as a base. Wear this dress, then choose a suitable sweater to wear over it. As a finishing touch, wear a belt for extra dimension.
For example, wear a round neck sweater over a knee-length dress, then wear a belt. It doesn't matter if the dress is peeking out from the neckline and sleeves of the sweater
Step 8. Accent with a large belt
Take a large belt and wear it around the waist, over a sweater. This belt will split your outfit in half and make an otherwise casual look more professional.
