Confession: My inspiration for this post was browsing the Aran wool sweater\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> collection and thinking about new ways to implement my own cozy girl style<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Bright cashmere with kitten heels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This combo is simple and stunning. A bright sweater matched with interesting jeans and kitten heels can take you from work on casual days to pizza parties and<\/em> PTA meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Over your shoulders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it’s too warm outside to wear your wool sweater, use it as an accessory. Toss it over your shoulders to give your jeans and t-shirt an upgraded, trendy vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Oversized everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pair an oversized wool turtleneck sweater<\/a> with pleated-front trousers in a darker shade of the same color. The look is classy, subtle, and pro enough for the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try teaming a bright sweater with different forms of texture for a layered look that surely turns heads. Here, the denim, crystal embellishments, and faux leather leggings combine for a fun outfit that’ll take you anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Let the layers shine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t underestimate the power of the layer under your sweater. You can play with complementary colors, contrasting ones, or fun patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try teaming your wool sweaters with bottoms of nearly the same color. Whites or creams are especially impactful in winter, because they’re less common. Some people still hang onto the old “no white after Labor Day<\/a>” thing, and you can use that to your benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Show those legs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the weather complies, try a bulky sweater with shorts or a skirt. Your bare legs should balance the volume of the sweater perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This outfit also provides fabulous color inspiration. How great is that green next to the gray, pin-striped short?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A long cardigan always makes a statement, especially when paired with a shirt dress and sassy, textured boots. Take a page from Kellyobi.ny’s book and wear your long line cardigan like a trench coat. Add tights underneath your skirt or dress if it’s especially cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t tried tucking in a sweater, do it today. Yes, sweaters are bulky and that can feel like a weird thing to jam into the top of your pants. But trust me here: Tucking your sweater changes its shape dramatically, which makes it feel like a whole new piece. Add a low-slung belt and you’re sure to command admiring glances from anyone who appreciates fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Color-pop accessories<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So many things are going right in this wool sweater outfit. The variation in texture is gorgeous; the thick knit balances the sheer, lightweight skirt so beautifully. But the real heroes are the red-orange accessories — including the nail polish — that pop so nicely against the soft purples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweater style strategies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I’ll leave you with a few pointers to make these sweater outfits your own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
