I feel like winter is a safeguard for those who may not feel fashion savvy. We can all seem put together pretty well with a sweater and a pair of our favorite jeans. There’s something about a knit sweater that looks like we’ve put a lot of effort in getting ready, but we can all admit it’s totally effortless.
Winter’s also a time where those of us who like to layer can get creative — wearing a button-up or even a long tee underneath any sweater or placing a cute jacket or parka vest over top can take your look from looking simple to looking intentionally fashionable. And let’s not forget about the possibility of accessorizing with long (or short) necklaces or even vintage brooches.
Sweaters can take us from looking casual to dressed up. Whichever category you may fall into the Goodwill can help out in a big way with little money.
I love a heavy cable knit sweater and this hunter green one for men is perfect, especially since we’re into the holiday season already.
There’s also another shade of green with cotton patches on the shoulder for a bit more dressed-up style.
Of course, the heather grey sweater with horizontal stripes is perfect for any daytime event or a night out with friends.
The women’s aisle had a myriad of colors to choose from…
I loved the pale pink knit with loose folded cowl neck line. It’s sweet and stylish and would look perfect with a pair of rolled-up boyfriend jeans and cute booties.
The gold dressy sweater with braided accent is a great match with this loose patterned cover-up. It’s so pretty for a day at the office and an after work night out to dinner.
Finally, the red knit is screaming, pick me for the holidays! With a cute crisp white button-up underneath and a long silver or gold finish necklace, it’s perfect for this time of year.
These cozy finds can be paired with any shade of denim or paired with just about any dress pant. They even look adorable with a cute pair of cut-off shorts (if you happen to be traveling to an area where it’s a bit warmer this time of year). Let’s just say sweaters are forgiving on any
body type and make us all feel as we’re wrapped up in our favorite blanket, yet dressed up enough to look out best.
We’ll be in the cold weather for many months ahead, so put on your most comfiest find and grab yourself an extra hot cup of cocoa to sip and enjoy the cozy moments of the season!
Happy Sweater Shopping!
