Sweating It

The idea of a perfect autumn/winter outfit would be something comfortable, chic, stylish, and practical. But that’s not always so easy to come by. What may be trendy is not always warm while what’s functional for cold weather is usually layered and bulky. Fortunately, there is a perfect solution to this dilemma. May I present to you, the ingenious sweater-dress/tights combo. This style is so versatile that you can find a sweater-dress to go with any look or climate…

For a not-so-cold day, try a baggy sweater with sheer tights

For a more retro look, go for a colorful sweater with big prints or designs that echo the 80’s.

And of course, you can always opt to jazz up a simple sweater with awesome accessories like the ever-stylish Cory Kennedy and this Stockholm cosmopolite.
