Winter Should Have's: Sweaters

This is my 3rd winter topic and sticking with the theme of the style should have's I am focusing on SWEATERS.

The sweater is a very understated item.  It usually doesn't stand out, unless it's a holiday sweater, then it's a free for all from trees, to reindeer to Santa.  But are those fashion statements or just traditions that have stood the test of time but have failed the fashion finals?

Well these sweaters are both stylish, warm and have appeal because there is something about them.  Whether it's the color, the design or a pattern that's a little different than the traditional basic pullover, the important thing is that each one has a focal point that makes people look and say "that's different".  Isn't that what fashion is all about?  The differences in style, each persons own originality.  How can someone be different and original if everyone wears the same blue jeans and black sweater.

 Yes I know, blue jeans with a black sweater is not a great or original combo. But what is? I think I got it.

Ask yourself, "why would I ever wear a sweater?  I have a jacket, and a shirt underneath my jacket"

 That's why !

 Everyone has a jacket and a shirt, but not everyone has and can pull off a trendy sweater and still get glimpses from the other side of the room.
What does a sweater say about you?

 Everyone is different, for some it means that they are reserved, for others it means professional, but it can also mean that they are just cold without a jacket indoors. A sweater can as anything else make or break the look, As always, let the sweater, like any "should have style" stand out, let it speak for itself and make the whole outfit or ensemble.
