Stylin’ Sweaters

By Silhouettes · January 10, 2011 · 0 Comments · 22 Views

Cardigans are the perfect layering piece—great for cool days in the spring, great to wear when the house or office is cold in the winter (or the summer), and good for fall, too.

Since cardigans are all the rage these days, they’re pretty easy to find. But here are a few specific options for different occasions.

First, this novelty stitch cardigan. This one isn’t for staying completely warm—it’s more to add some style and flair to your look. (This is also washable, which is awesome and really rare when you’re talking about a crochet-style like this.) Wear this over fitted shirts or sweaters, and pair it with jeans, pants or long skirts.

Another fun style is this bolero cardigan (bolero refers to the open-front style). Bolero-style sweaters are especially great for pairing with dresses.

And for basic warmth and style, this simple cotton v-neck cardigan is a good addition to your wardrobe and can be worn with just about anything (except maybe a formal dress). It’s especially nice with a t-shirt and jeans.

If none of those are your style, you can check out lots more plus size cardigans here.

I went shopping recently and was amazed at the huge variety of sweaters on the racks and shelves. Sweaters are the “in” thing this year for sure. Long sweaters, sweater dresses, flowing cardigans—they’re all out there and they’re all in style.

Check out these plus-size sweater ideas:

Open-front cardigan: your classic, basic long cardigan (in black or print). Wear it with jeans or pants and a fitted top. This is a perfect look for winter.

V-neck tunic: This long tunic sweater is great over leggings or jeans. It’s both stylish and cozy, great for snuggling by the fire or going out on the town.

Cascade cardigan: A lovely feminine cardigan available in a variety of fun colors. This sweater offers a twist on the basic cardigan by adding the trendy, flowing cascade style.

Knit V-neck: Another classic sweater, this can be paired with a belt or button-down for a more tailored look—or just wear it with jeans for a casual day.
