Fashion each season can seem more like a crazy roller coaster ride than a smooth carriage ride through Central Park! With the ever-changing trends, online sales, and favorite fashion bloggers like myself highlighting the biggest trends can leave one riding a coaster of unexpected twists! I don’t know about you but one area I find myself riding a rocky roller coaster is in the area of knitwear from riding up the cozy route of comfort to riding down the eccentric route to the planet of Mars can leave one in for a bad ride! Fashion knitwear doesn’t have to be too cozy for comfort or too Martian like, but with these 4 style tips you can balance the ups and downs this season for knitwear. Read on to make this one fun but smooth roller coaster ride...
BUCKLE UP EXTRA CAREFULLY
Any roller coaster ride starts with buckling up carefully! The sweater jacket or coat trend includes long cardigans, ponchos, and dolmans is the easiest way to be extra safe when wearing knitwear. With the sweater jacket or coat trend shift your focus on shapes and silhouettes that complement your shape over the pattern or fabric. By finding the right fit first over the pattern will make it easier to blend with your everyday wardrobe. Here is my pick:
Forever 21 Contemporary Knit Waffle Dolman $39.90
RIDE THE HIGHLINE
This season knitwear focuses on the shape of the neckline from mock necks , turtlenecks, and cowl necks! Designers are focusing the emphasis on drapes, beautiful fabrics, and ponchos to dolmans that highlight the neck! Style Tip: Focus on contemporary silhouettes and go for solid colors so you can style this with fun accessories! Here are my picks:
Forever 21 Contemporary Fuzzy Turtleneck Sweater $27.90
Contemporary Marled Mock-Neck Top $29.90
HANGING BY A THREAD
That build up of anticipation in moving up the first hill of the roller coaster leaves ones often hanging by a thread after that first down! Likewise, in fashion the loose ends trend can leave one hanging by a thread if they don’t understand how to pull this trend off with out #fashionfauxpax! The loose ends trend in knitwear is super easy to pull off with a long cardigan, poncho, and is great with neutral color palettes, so it keeps the focus on the fringe which allows it to be an easy piece to style with pieces of clothing. Here is my pick:
Forever 21 Frayed Plaid Poncho $24.90
LOST IN EXCITEMENT
Shaggy Fur, abstract patterns, plaid, multi-colored, lace detail, southwestern pattern, mesh paneled and color block can leave one lost in so much excitement when it comes to picking knitwear this season! Designers and retailers have put so many twists and turn to basic version knitwear with era influenced patterns, details, and textures this is perhaps the easiest way to show some edge without going overboard. With this theme go for something that is a bit more daring but can be worn with everyday wear like jeans and leggings. Here are my picks:
Forever 21 Contemporary Tonal Textured Sweater $29.90
Forever 21 Contemporary Striped Shaggy Knit sweater $27.80
