STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Sweater Weather

It’s the season for all things cozy, including your favorite sweater. With a chill in the air and a latte in my hand, I photographed this Fashionisto’s cool, casual look. His style is the perfect fall ensemble for any guy. A classic quarter-zip sweater is the focal point of this look, while stylish denim and a crisp button-up keep things simple. The sweater is great because it is a major part of the outfit, but also an accessory when worn around the shoulders. That means you can wear this look on days when the weather can’t seem to decide if it’s summer or fall. Finally, this Fashionisto’s neutral shoes are anything but boring, and its suede material give off all the fall feels.

You may be wondering how you can translate this look into your own fall wardrobe. Guess what? It’s easier than you might think, and it’s perfect for Fashionistos and Fashionistas alike. Start with your favorite sweater or cardigan, then choose a contrasting button-up or flannel to layer under it. I suggest choosing a pattern such as plaid, polka dots or stripes. Since it’s fall, you should also consider a neutral or darker shade for your shirt. Gray, navy and burgundy are a few of my favorites. Pair your layered tops with rich denim for a casual look, or dress things up with a nice pair of slacks.

Complete your look by adding a neutral-colored shoe and whatever accessories you would like—a watch, glasses or scarf would complement the look. Once you’ve created your perfect sweater weather attire, all that’s left to do is decide where to show off your cozy apparel. Will it be a coffee shop, pumpkin patch or fall festival? Wherever you choose to strut your look, you’ll be sure to turn heads!
