Elijah Starr | Fashion Wedding Ideas | 10 26th, 2011| No Comments »There’s almost no reason not to like this season’s sweaters. Big and slouchy, cropped and boxy, they’re like a warm embrace.
“I like the look,” says scoopcharlotte.com’s Susu Bear. “They’re comfortable, and they hide a lot of flaws. The look is fresh and different.”
Consider it a fresh and forgiving take on the sexy sweater girl.
You might remember the look from the ’80s, but this time there’s a bit more shape.
“I will not talk in class, I will not talk in class” was a familiar phrase the majority of us found ourselves reciting in our years of teachers, recess, and sometimes disciplinary card pulling.
It has almost become just as ritualistic for brides to remind themselves on their wedding day with the standard “I will not cry post makeup, I will not cry before pictures, I will not…” Just like we tried when we were younger to zip those lips and throw away the key, we cry…especially at our wedding.

Many of my clients have a new found love of frocks because they are a fast pull on and go and generally very comfortable. Sweater dresses are a fab Fall and Winter version of crisply woven Spring and Summer dresses. If you can find a style that works, heres an easy, practical and on-trend way to update the sweater dress look this season.
Sweater Dress: Finding the right sweater dress can be tricky so refresh your memory about these tips. Personally, I like the option of a chunkier knit because its less clingy and more substantial. The length and style is to your taste.
Opaque Tights: I like a tonal look with this outfit combination. For example, a grey sweater dress looks amazing with grey opaque tights. You could also wear sheer or patterned tonal tights, but opaques provide excellent coverage for sweater dresses with exposure.
Scarf: An optional extra and an effective colour vehicle. Some sweater dresses have collars that are more scarf-friendly like V-nceks, scoops or crew-necks. Cow
