How To Elevate Your Sweater For Evening

While we can’t pretend we’re enjoying the sudden chill in what should be our warm summer air, we’re taking the opportunity to start embracing the new season – because when else in August have you honestly felt like buying boots and coats?

Truth be told, we’re convinced there is a positive side to our preliminary shivering, which is precisely why we can’t wait to snap up a fab new sweater for autumn/winter 2014 (heads up: there are so many great options right now!).

While pairing them with your favourite skinny jeans and skater shoes is a guaranteed style hit when the weekend rolls around, this season is all about elevating your sweater for evening elegance. Don’t believe us? Just look at Jason Wu, Ralph Lauren, and Antonio Berardi, who showed slouchy sweaters with sophisticated maxi skirts in their pre-fall collections for an especially cool way to do care-free glam.

And since there’s no denying the fact it’s no longer warm enough to get through the evening sans jacket, we think it’s the perfect time to channel this inspired look. Naturally, we’ve put together three fool-proof ways to work the trend now, ready for whatever your nighttime plans throw up.
