Fabulous slouchy sweaters & how to wear them #luxetoless

Fun fact: There are two types of sweaters.

1. One is for layering: you wear it underneath blazers and coats.
   It’s a chic and neat and perfect for going out to dinner. You can wear it under a blazer. Or under a shirt. It’s a layering piece.
2. The other type of sweater is the slouchy, fashiony knit.
   (My Fav is from Arket , I have it in white and bought it choc brown last year)
   This works on its own. It makes a statement.
   It doesn’t need a jacket to make a statement or to look polished.
   It’s loose and oversized: you feel like you can wear it without a coat and look chic.
   BTW I have been telling you to buy a big slouchy sweater since 2015!
   Of course if you shopped as FiFi instructed you would have already had 6 years of wear. Isn’t that the aim of the game?
   Invest early in a trend and then get mileage from your wardrobe.

What to look for in a statement sweater?

It should have a poloneck or roll neck. Maybe balloon sleeves.
Big and oversized. It might just cover your bum.
Go for oatmeal, cream, white, navy or grey.
All colours are what I call expensive colours but not necessarily so.
You don’t need to spend a fortune to look chic
( Hot pink – and other bright colours- never looks expensive unless it is!)

My advice?

Don’t invest in black: Boring, not so flattering next to the face and tricky to style.
(black sweater + black pants = snoozefest,).
Please don’t cry: Store those black sweaters you already own, or to toss back with all your high waist beige pants and groovy wide leg blue denim. Then wear with a black blazer.
Just saying if can only buy one sweater don’t spend your money on a black one.

How to wear a slouchy sweater:

• It will look fabulous with leather pants.
• It will love hanging over a long maxi flirty skirt .
• It will adore getting a half tuck into chinos.
• It will kiss white jeans especially in winter.
• It will want to be layered over a shirt ( with the shirt tails hanging out).
• Chic, casual and easy to throw together.
