It's Sweater Time!!!

It's OFFICIALLY Fall as of September 23rd, 2011, which means sweaters...sweaters...sweaters!!! Fall is my favorite fashion season and I have been wearing sweaters for a week now even though it reaches 80 degrees in the afternoon. I just can't wait!!

This season's sweaters come in a variety of colors, lengths, and shapes. Here are the top 4 sweater styles for fall:

• Long, Belted Cardigans: Try pairing them with a great pair of pants, leggings or skinny jeans. Cool boots along with a statement piece of jewelry help to create a perfect look for the fall.
• Tunic Sweaters: These sweaters are long and fall just below the hips. Pair these loose fitting sweaters with tighter fitting jeans or pants. There are many different styles such as off the shoulder, round neck, cowl neck or v-neck. You’ll also find a variety of sleeve styles, such as short sleeves, ¾ length, long, bell or even sleeveless.
• Chunky Knits: When you think of chunky sweaters you may not realize that they come in different styles such as button up cardigans, off the shoulder or even cropped styles. Cashmere, cotton and wool are some of the most popular fabrics for these yummy, warm sweaters. The best thing about these scrumptious knits is that you can pair them with anything from jeans to pants, skirts or even dresses.
• Sweater Dresses: Who knew that a sweater dress can be comfortable, warm and even sexy? The versatility of a sweater dress allows you to take the dress from day — while wearing opaque tights or leggings with boots — to night — with sassy stockings and heels. Add a belt to cinch in your waist and show off your curves.

In addition to the season’s trendy sweaters, you can always find the classics such as cowl necks, turtlenecks, or even comfy over sized v-neck sweaters.  All the sweaters are versatile, so you’ll always have the perfect “go-to” sweater for every occasion.
