With spring approaching in a few months, it is never too early to start planning your fall outfits.
Spring and fall require wardrobe staples such as jackets, boots, and one of women’s all-time favorites; the crew neck sweater.
Think of clever ways to layer your clothing to keep warm while looking effortlessly stylish. If you are nervous about putting together looks with crew neck sweaters because you are worried about looking shapeless, you have come to the right place!
Below are five chic ways to help you style a crew neck sweater:
Turtleneck Tips
You have got to hand it to Generation X – layering a turtleneck under a crew neck is perfection.
This look is an easy way to tap into nineties nostalgia while prioritizing comfort. To get the most from this pairing, choose a classic cotton crew-neck sweater. If you are feeling brave, a tactile mohair option is a great choice for a bolder, warmer look.
Pair a turtleneck and crew neck with jeans or a turtleneck dress.
If you are feeling fancy, top it off with some gold sneakers and jewelry.
Under A Trench Coat
To transform a timeless piece of outerwear into a chic and urban masterpiece, pair a trench coat with a crew neck underneath and transparent spectacle frames.
Trench coats are versatile and look good with jeans, sneakers, heels, or tailored pants.
To tick all the boxes for this look, pair a white crew-neck sweater with a colored leather (or faux leather) trench coat and wear it with wide-legged jeans.
Tied Over
If you live in the city or lived through the nineties, chances are you have white tees and women’s crew neck sweaters in your closet.
This pairing is so accessible because anyone can pull it off. Even if you are not the most athletic creature on earth, draping a sweater over your shoulders or tying it diagonally across your chest will make you feel ever so posh, yet playfully sporty.
Pair this look with classic blue jeans and your favorite sneakers, or dress up a pair of tan chinos with some neutral loafers.
Dress Rules
Everyone loves a summer dress, but their longevity reduces drastically as fall approaches.
Extend the life of your summer dresses by topping them with a crew neck. Top any length dress with a crew-neck sweater of your choice.
Crew necks work best with mini or maxi dresses, but with the right shoes and accessories, even a midi dress can look super stylish.
The best version of this look works with a wool sweater over a black maxi dress.
Blazer Business
When looking for a quick way to make an outfit more chic, blazers are almost always the answer!
Blazers have a unique ability to enhance an outfit for work and add an element of class to your wardrobe. Blazers are traditionally formal pieces, but they have stood the test of time in women’s fashion by being more versatile than anyone ever thought.
Blazers and loungewear might initially seem like an odd pairing, but these two can work together flawlessly. Pair your favorite crew neck with a blazer and skinny jeans for a stylish combo.
