{dream board} sweater weather

Something about the idea of strolling the beach while donning a cold weather sweater has always made me a bit warm and fuzzy inside. But selecting the perfect Winter sweater is no easy task. First you must decide whether you are more comfortable in cruelty-free fabrics, like this off the shoulder sweater by LinQ which is made of bamboo, or if you’re a cashmere girl through and through.

Next, and this is a big one, be careful of the fit. Sweaters do have a natural tendency to look quite unflattering. That’s why I love pieces like J. Crew’s Double Breasted Sweater Jacket, as it has more structure to it, so not only will it look better on, but it will also be a bit dressier as it’s a bit more polished of a look. Be careful of sweathers that have a general t-shirt shape, as these can be quite unflattering to the midsection. Of course, pieces like J. Crew’s Goldmine Sweater can be tucked into a high-waisted skirt, which would be uber-flattering!
