Check out impressive ways to style pullover sweaters this season…
#1. Embrace texture play
Textures are taking over the 2024 fashion scene, and sweaters are at the forefront of this trend. For example, think of soft, fluffy, brushed knits in combination with luxurious materials such as leather, imitation snakeskin or suede. It’s all about creating contrast and dimension in your outfit. To achieve this, pair a J.Crew brushed cashmere shrunken cable-knit crew neck sweater with a sleek Bubish Eliza leather maxi skirt for a bold, textured look. Then complete the ensemble with the elegant Tony Bianco Charlie Heels, which balance an edgy and cozy atmosphere.
Style tip: Stick to complementary colors to let the textures shine and create a chic, well-coordinated look.
