What up home skillets! We’re back from Nashville and ate more fried chicken than you can shake a stick at. I feel disguuuuusting. I can’t wait to show you pics from the wedding!
In the mean time, did you know NOW’s the best time to spruce up on sweaters?! To ensure you look cute and stay warm for Autumn, donate your old ones and add a few new pieces IMMEDIATELY. I recommend 2-3.
The only problem is… where to begin?! There are a billion options. Who has time for that?! To save you time and moolah, I break it down for you below.
TIP #1 – STATEMENT SWEATERS AND WHY YOU SHOULD GET THEM
- I believe in the element of surprise when it comes to our clothes. This detail is the best ice breaker at parties. Also, when done correctly, they last for seasons on end. Saving you money long term.
- Statement sweaters are trending big time right now. Fun sleeves, embellishments and bold prints. So much amazingness packed into one little item!
- The best part? You don’t have to think about accessories. It’s like they’re “built in”. As a result, you save time getting ready and look put together quickly. BUT if you’re all about the accessories (like me), they can easily be dressed up too. They’re basically chameleons.
- Great news. All the major retailers JUST released their new sweaters. DYING over Shopbop especially. Of course, the best ones sell out FAST, so hurry before it’s too late!
To make it easy for you, below I’m sharing my favorite ride or die sweater (right now) and an additional 37 sweaters that fit the bill! I even broke them down into categories for quick and easy shopping. Enjoy.
IF I HAD TO PICK ONE…
…this tie-cuff pullover is IT. I wore it three times last week and the price point is super reasonable – $79! Gotta love Madewell right? It’s also light enough for now and warm enough for later. Comes in different colors (the white’s beautiful!) and recommend sizing down.
36 STATEMENT SWEATERS YOU’LL LOVE
This curated selection gives you different price points, retailers and styles – so there’s something for everyone. I also share the benefits of each category, ensuring you pick out the right sweaters the first time around. Online shopping can be tricky. Happy shopping.
TREND: BOW SLEEVES
If you like classics, a good tie sleeve (what I’m wearing!) is the easiest way to dip your toe in the trend pond. It’s a tiny detail people notice – which means all the compliments! LOVE LOVE LOVE this one and this one’s only $59.
TREND: BOLD PRINTS
This trend’s the best option when you want to look HOT and remain memorable! Like dates, outings with the ladies and casual events. It’s a pop of fun for your denim, blank pants and skirts. You can even wear them to work (maybe Fridays?). I LOVE this camo sweater, which is making an appearance on the blog soon. For a splurge that stays in style forever, I’d get this – I’ve had my eye on for so long. This affordable stripe one reminds me of Tory Burch without the price tag. Tip: If you’re looking for sweaters you can wear week after week (without anyone noticing), I’d stick to the other categories.
TREND: RUFFLES
When you only have five minutes to get ready, ruffles are a best kept secret. They add texture and interest and dress up your denim effortlessly! My favorite ruffle sweater is back this season in several colors. When I’m not in the getting ready mood – just throw one of these on and you’ll look so put together. I got this one in gray and I’m starting to see this one everywhere (only $69!).
TREND: CLASSICS WITH A TWIST
Take note of these beauties! Open backs (I can’t even handle it), billowy sleeves and poppy colors. These sweaters will stay in your wardrobe, year after year. So go wild here! Club Monaco always has a great selection too.
So how do we feel about statement sweaters? Which style’s your favorite? I took these photos at Pokagon State Park in Indiana. The horses loved me (I snuck them some grass). Here’s to counting down the days till we can bust them out full time!
