Top 5 Fall Sweater Trends

Today I popped by our local NBC-affiliate news station for a segment on the top fall sweater trends. In case you didn’t have a chance to check out the show, I’ve got the list for you right here! After all, it’s beginning to be that time of season to stock up on some new winter-ready threads. Starting with…

Basic Beauties

It’s not quite “cold” here in AZ yet (I think it was in the 90s yesterday!) but it is cold in the mornings and evenings, too. That’s what makes the light cardigan such an essential wardrobe piece. They’re easy to layer under jackets and blazers for evening and can be stashed at your office desk, in your car or purse. Stock up on several to easily mix and match pieces.

Jewel-Tones

This season is all about jewel tones. Beautiful berrys and rich emerald greens are the two must-have colors for fall, and they’ll look great for the holidays, too.

Fur-Trimmed

Fur coats tend to be strong fall trends, but aren’t exactly practical for the weather here. A great way to channel that trend and still have something wearable is with a fur-trimmed sweater. From vests and cardigans to elegant sweaters, choices abound. Make it your splurge of the season, a little luxury is always nice.

Chunky Sweaters

Nothing screams winter like a cozy, chunky sweater. Cardigans, cable-knit sweaters and oversized-toppers are great weekend wear, paired with comfortable leggings or your favorite pair of skinny jeans.

Sequins and Shimmer

Beautiful, shimmery sweaters with metallic threads and sequin details just show you how the sweater is so much more than weekend wear. From jeans and leggings to little leather skirts, the fancy sweaters can be paired with just about anything and easily taken from day to night.
