Sweaters. A fashionable necessity since the dawn of time (basically). While they've taken many different forms over the years, sweaters remain a mainstay in the fashion world. I mean think about it- Every cave woman made a sweater from the fur shaved off her dinner (what?!). And let's be real, who's not desperately craving the day when the collared knit sweaters of the 30s and 40s with the tie at the top come back in style?! I seriously am. How cute were those button up sweaters worn atop poodle skirts in the 50s?! The 80s were characterized with vibrant colors and fun designs on sweaters that matched the perfect pair of leg warmers and these led into the intricately designed, Dr. Neil Miller (The Santa Clause), sweaters of the 90s. Finally, let's not forget everyone's favorite- the UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER!! Talk about a trend that dominates the retail scene every December.
But what do sweaters look like today? The oversized knit sweater is what every fashionista is strutting this season. It's winter's hottest trend. It's that wannabe hot girl so I'll throw my hair into a messy bun, put on leggings, and top it off with a comfortable yet fashionable too-big-for-me sweater look. Dress it up or dress it down. These knit sweaters are so versatile. My favorite one (an oversized charcoal knit cardigan) goes perfectly with a bun on the top of my head, my maroon aztec print leggings, and my wardrobe-favorite black combat boots. It's a comfy and relaxed look, yet with that fashionable rocker flare. I could stay in it all day. I love my taupe brown knit poncho. And this is an oversized sweater I LOVE to dress up- It's become one of my favorite office outfits. With this sweater, black pants, and a heeled black boot, I feel ready to conquer the world of Public Relations when I step into the office on a winter morning. What does your favorite oversized sweater look like? Are you in on this trend? Which sweater decade is your favorite? Let me know! Thanks for reading! :) -Karleigh Michele
