Gonna Make You Sweat!

What could be more comfortable than the average sweater? It is an item of clothing that has gone from strength to strength over the last few decades and now, it is firmly established as the basic du jour. It is no longer the boring GAP grey classic. It has new shapes and has become a statement piece for many designers. We need only link of the Kenzo sweaters that inspired the many tiger knock-offs seen on the high street and in little Chinese stores the world over. And now, with the help of British  designer, Christopher Kane, we have looks like this one above. It is no longer boring and just for lounging at home. And yes, ladies, you can dig out your old sweaters with huge letters on them. These are all the rage right now…wear what you are thinking on your chest with slogan sweaters…and when we turn back the clock, Audrey was right there, in Breakfast At Tiffany’s in her basic grey…singing away…

And now you ask: how do I wear the new sweater look? Well, team it up with a long skirt, wear it under a short leather jacket, take a basic sweater and cut it shorter and expose your tummy with some high- waisted jeans and make it chic in the evening by simply throwing it over a smart cocktail dress. This is a look that will always be comfortable and will allow you the creativity that the new season demands…so, start thinking about your look…
