Outfit Details: The Kooples Sweater | Club Monaco Black Cami | Paige Denim | Iro Boots
The sun has been shining all week, but there’s still a slight chill in the air, especially in the mornings. Coats seem to be too heavy to wear, while a simple long sleeve shirt doesn’t quite keep you warm enough. In comes the “It” coat to own this season and for a good reason. The sweater coat has the ultimate balance of warmth and structure of a coat combined with the coziness and ease of a sweater. Scroll down to get to know more about this fall must-have: the sweater coat, and shop my top picks!
This piece has been the answer to all my cold-weather-dressing woes. Have you ever painstakingly put together the perfect outfit, only to realize that you have to cover it all up with a big winter coat? Or how about trying to wear your favorite fall knit under a coat, then trying to fit the chunky sleeves into a coat arm (because sometimes it gets cold enough for both), and it just becomes a nearly impossible task? My sweater coats have been working double-time as an extra layer over sweaters, or over a simple silk shirt. They are simply effortless to remove when the weather warms up and something that I usually always have with me at all times.
A sweater coat is a piece that has a permanent place on my list of everyday closet essentials that transcends seasons, whether long, short, bright, neutral, textured, or patterned like the one I am wearing today. I decided to style this western flared sweater coat with a classic pair of dark washed denim, a simple black cami, and ankle boots. The Aztec print on this Kooples sweater is bold, and I wanted it to be the main focal point of the look. Rather than having the rest of the pieces in the look work against it, I chose effortless essentials to help compliment the statement sweater. I have also been styling it with a black turtleneck, skinny black jeans and camel pumps to play on the black and camel color combo that I find to be so rich and chic.
Whether you like a streamlined and fitted look or prefer a chunky knit, there is a sweater coat perfect for every type of personality. Incorporating a sweater coat into your wardrobe will make your cold-weather fashion improve dramatically, especially with this confusing hot then cold weather we are experiencing. I know that you are going to love them as much as I do, so I’m sharing my latest favorite styles below that you can wear now and well into the fall!
