Welcome back to the blog! 🍂 You can feel that crisp in the air coming, and soon the leaves will change colors, which means it's almost SWEATER WEATHER time! Early fall is the perfect time to start experimenting with sweaters and shackets. These versatile pieces are not just for the depths of winter—they can be styled to fit any occasion, from a casual day out at the pumpkin patch to an evening on the town for drinks at your favorite happy hour hotspot. Here’s how to make the most of your sweaters this fall, with tips for whatever your style or occasion is. 

1. Athleisure: Sweaters Gone Sporty

Fall is the ideal time to blend cozy warmth with sporty chic. Athleisure is all about comfort without sacrificing style, and a sweater can be a key piece in this look.

Tip #1: Go for Chunky Knits
Opt for a chunky knit sweater to add texture and warmth. Pair it with high-waisted leggings or joggers. The chunky texture contrasts nicely with the sleekness of athletic fabrics.

Tip #2: Layer with a Sports Bra or Tank
Layer your sweater over a fitted sports bra or tank top. This adds dimension and keeps you cool when you're on the move. Choose a sweater with a relaxed fit or a cropped style to avoid bulkiness.

Tip #3: Add Stylish Sneakers
Complete the look with a pair of stylish sneakers. Opt for a clean, minimal design in neutral tones to keep the outfit cohesive.

Tip #4: Accessorize with a Trucker Hat
A trucker hat or a baseball cap adds a casual, sporty touch while keeping you warm. For an added sporty look, complete your look with a crossbody sling bag.

2. Chic and Cozy: Mastering Everyday Style with Sweaters and Shackets

For those casual days when you want to look put-together but feel comfortable, a cozy plaid shacket can be the foundation of a chic everyday outfit.

Tip #1: Pair with Straight-Leg Jeans
Opt for slim-fit or straight-leg jeans to balance the volume of the sweater or shacket.

Bonus style tip: Tuck in the front of your sweater slightly for a polished look.

Tip #2: Layer with a Trench Coat
Layering is key for fall. A classic denim jacket or a trench coat over your soft knit sweater adds extra warmth and style without being too heavy.

Tip #4: Accessorize with an Oversized Tote Bag.
Tote bags are not only on-trend and fashionable, but bring function to your style with their ability to hold all of your items for a busy day! Choose a large tote bag in a complementary color to your outfit, such as tan or add a pop of color with a muted pink quilted tote bag.
