When it comes to basic winter wear, woolen coats and down jackets are definitely the outerwear choices, while for tops, sweaters are undoubtedly the first pick. Don't underestimate sweaters by thinking they're too ordinary and have nothing special to say. Honestly, the most versatile and practical style is none other than it!
#1 When paired with skirts, sweaters basically showcase two trends: loose and slightly fitted styles. The former suits girls with more flesh on their waist and hips, while the latter confidently shows off a slim and slender figure.
#2 For those with shorter stature, choosing skirts above the knees or ankle-length can be helpful in creating the illusion of height, while taller girls have the freedom to choose as they please. If you're worried about your legs feeling cold, wearing a pair of snug-fitting leggings as a base layer can keep out the cold air.
#3 When a sweater comes with classic prints such as stripes, checks, or polka dots, raw denim jeans become the best stage to showcase it. To achieve a three-seven body proportion and look like you have a nine-head-high figure in winter, simply tuck all your sweaters into high-waisted jeans.
#4 Is tucking in completely too stiff? A slightly fitted sweater can add volume through its own rolled edges, while a loose one can simply be tucked in at one corner to hint at the waistline. This trick works well with skinny jeans, straight-leg pants, or wide-leg pants.
#5 Compared to woolen coats, the puffiness of fur is indeed more obvious, but its light and warm, as well as soft to the touch, qualities still make it a favorite among many girls. When pairing with fur, try to choose a relatively fitted style, as wearing it open can weaken the perception of a bulky upper torso.
#6 If a loose sweater is worn as the top layer, then the bottom half needs to be tightly fitted to balance out the horizontal expansion brought by the fur. Wearing over-the-knee boots is a smart solution, and PU skinny jeans paired with Chelsea boots are also a good choice.
#7 The most common layered look for a sweater is pairing it with a shirt. Besides exposing the neat shirt collar or allowing the shirt hem to peek out from under the sweater, the sweater can also be casually rolled up to show the bottoming shirt, together creating a clear layered effect.
