Sweaters Naturally

 

 

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?

The Cold Calls for Coats

 

If you are like most of us, you have only one coat. Sure, there may be more in your closet but there is usually only one coat that you love to wear. It can be like a best friend. But like best friends, they aren’t always easy to find.

A good coat has many roles. It goes without saying that it has to protect you from the elements, but it also has to make you look and feel comfortable and above everything else, it has to make you look great … all the time.

When you start your search this season (and right now is a good time to be looking) remember, you are looking for a friend.

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--

Image

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.

Image

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.

Image

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.

How to Mix and Match Outfits

Category:

 

You cannot build a wardrobe on basic solids alone--prints speak to your personality. But smart shoppers say there should be three ways to wear a print before you commit to a purchase.  At Plum, we are keen on this kind of math!

1. Mix this print with your basics:

The black and grey print works wonders with your basic blacks, whites and greys: your black skinny yoga jeans, your Plum white button up, a Tobias black pencil skirt. (Think Plum’s Perfect 10).

Image

 

2. Add a pop of colour:

What’s in your palette? Fuchsia or cobalt blue would make an outfit pop! Coordinate with some solid pieces in bright colours and you have endless fun looks. 

Let’s do the math:

black skinny yoga jean + fitted peplum top

cobalt blue skinny jeans + fitted peplum top

fitted peplum top + polka dot pencil skirt

polka dot pencil skirt + fuchsia crossover top

polka dot pencil skirt + classic white button up, etc...

But you can still get two whole different looks with the right accessories...

 

3. Be wise and accessorize:

 

Image

For a day look: accessorize the polka dot peplum top and pencil skirt with a layered chain necklace that hits just below the bust--it makes the look long and lean. 

With this creative work attire, a portfolio clutch pops in orange and creates a focal point to all-over pattern. 

For an evening look: it’s a subtle switch.  Show off your shape with some sparkle--an embellished belt is jewellery for your waist.  

Focus on the finer details--while a necklace would overwhelm the look, the earrings create balance to the belt. (Needs some inspiration? Check out our Detail Orientated Pinterest board.)

Plum’s Perfect 10 is a collection of 10 items that we love. Our tenth and final selection of this series is the Tobias black pencil skirt. Get down to business with this office staple, and after your nine-to-five, wear it overtime by changing your top and accessories and trading your flats for heels.

Image

Work it during the week--the black pencil skirt looks polished and professional whether your career is creative or corporate.  Show off how you’re detail-oriented by tucking in your top and adding a belt.

Image

The weekly grind is out of mind with this evening look. Glitzy accessories and a sky high heel take this skirt out of the work-wear world. The black pencil skirt has flattering fit to accentuate your curves and waist so wear it long after you punch out.

The Tobias black pencil skirt is a wonder for your wardrobe so we always have different styles in stores.  The one we've shown in the Tobias black slim skirt and it's priced at $79.
