Don’t tell me you aren’t living in your sweater right now! It’s chilly out there! When the weather cools down, we go for our knits like no other garment--sweaters are second nature.

But because we are wearing our sweaters nearly 24-7 during the fall and winter season, they are probably the one item that can really make a statement of about you (and your style). Are you creative when you layer your knits? Do you show off your quirky side with an animal sweater? Or does a cable-knit cardigan show your classic taste?

Whatever your style, don’t just rely on comfort to guide your choice of knits. What’s your sweater saying about you?

Anyone can wear the classic Kersh ribbed waist cardigan—just pick a colour to suit you or your personality. That's why it's such a great gift idea...almost risk-free.

Originally $49 dollars but you can have it for $36.75 for 4 days only!

Wear the Triple 5 Soul Graphic Zip Front Sweater with the Alexa skinny jeans and a pair of motorcycle boots for a stylish and sporty look.

Originally $85 or get it for $63.75 for 4 days only!

This Press Jacquard Sweater with Fringe is stylish and comfortable, but for a mix-and-match look, wear it over the polka dot knit pencil skirt to show off your creative side.

Originally $120 but you can have it for $90 for 4 days only!

***For 4 days only, get 25% off the regular priced on all our sweaters! Offer valid from Thursday, October 31st to Sunday, November 3^rd.

Sweaters Are Anything But Boring

Sweater weather is in full swing and now that we are easily reminded that it’s time to cozy up, it’s a good time to evaluate your wardrobe for what you have in terms of knits. When we are naturally gravitating to sweaters this time of year, think beyond your basic cardigans--

Warm up with this tribal geometic motif sweater in an electric coral, gold and black with a fringe trim. Leave your dull sweaters out in the cold and have fun mix-and-matching like we did when we layered it over this striped T-shirt.

Make your collar pop with a pullover sweater. This polka dot version is a bold take on this trend, but even solid pullover sweaters can repurpose those collared shirts that we have in our closets into a look that’s fun but pulled-together. For a finishing touch, add a statement necklace that hits along the crewneck.

This ombre turtleneck sweater is a go-to for a look you can throw on without thought, but that still has tons of style. Just put it over some ripped dark denim skinnies (like these Mavi Alexas shown above) for a relaxed look you’ll be wearing every weekend.

How’s your sweater situation? Do you need a new jolt of style? Check out our window shop page for some sweater inspiration.

Melange Yarn Sweater in Orange/Ade (pictured) and Purple/Rain, $79

There are few things in life that can top the feeling of bundling up in a cosy sweater on a cool day. And lucky for us, sweaters are one of those magical articles of clothing that can be both practical (read: warm) and stylish.

A sweater is a great way to pull the individual articles of your outfit together. Pair it with slim-leg pants and top it with a scarf for an easy ensemble that always looks put-together.

These sweaters (below) are both great examples of what to look for this fall. Rich patterns and textures create depth and interest in your look, the same effect that is achieved through layering multiple articles, in one easy step.

Pointelle Cardigan, $78, and Jacquard sweater, $68.

Striped sweater, $95. Acrylic scarf, $25

(Psst. This scarf comes in Blue, Grey, Mustard, Pumpkin, and Red. I bought the red straight out of the packaging and can attest that it is now my #1 favourite outfit completer.)

Warm up to the carefully selected collection of sweaters at Plum this season! To ensure that you have the best selection, our buyer chooses a range of unique and well-made sweaters to suit every style and every budget. To keep our selection complete, we look to exceptional outside vendors to fill in the gaps of what we cannot produce ourselves.

Pullovers! Turtlenecks! Cardigans! What is your favourite style to rock through the fall and winter?
