THE FALL 2018 SWEATER TREND: COZY AND COOL!

I have plenty of friends who anticipate the first day of "sweater weather", but no matter how much I love a cozy knit, I can't help feeling a sense of sadness at the idea that it's a precursor of long freezing months to come, so, thanks to this exceptional warm November I'm actually still sticking to silk blouses and shirts... However, since retail-therapy can be an occasional cure, I figure that shopping the best fall sweaters might actually minimise my cold-weather blues crisis. 
Picking out a  statement-making sweater means that you can throw on very basic outfits such as:
- straight-cut jeans + a simple pair of boots/leopard print flat pumps
- leather pants + trainers, 
- a midi pleated skirt+ ankle boots 
and your outfit will look very fashion-forward. 
Now with a new league of designers and It-girls ushering in the comeback of the classic sweater, it's clear why the trend is once again going through a sartorial rebranding. So, cool brands are reimagining the iconic staple with an updated colour palette including refreshingly and playfully bright or neon-hues, along with a plethora of modernised design motifs and both oversized or shrunken fits. And with a seemingly array of sweater styles to choose, it's time to change your traditional jumper for the latest models. 

Anyway, there are two simple and rather obvious guidelines to help you on your search of the perfect knitwear options:

- Good material: superfine merino, merino-silk, or cashmere-silk blends, mohair and angora    
   (aha, they're finallly back again!),

- A length that is suitable to your style: extra-long or super-shrunken

And to finish, here find below a choice of sweater models I consider worthy of a spot in my closet now:
1) Ivory ribbed/cable-knit oversized, high-neck, cashmere sweater
2) Black, oversized sweater/cardigan

3) Relaxed-fit camel-beige slouchy sweater

4) Cashmere sweater dress

5) Angora wool white/pearl grey sweater

6) Knitwear with fur details

7) Nordic-style sweater

8) Lightweight cashmere crewneck jumper

9) Cut-out-sleeve sweater

By now, you should be ready to fully embrace the appeal of knitwear, and perhaps you're in the market for something new and cozy for Fall... In case, have a nice shopping!
