FAQ:
How to wear a cozy sweater?
Style it like it’s your second skin – tucked into high-waisted jeans, thrown over a silky skirt, or layered lazily over a crisp white shirt.
The key? Let it slouch where it wants to and add one thing that feels you – be it a red lip, gold hoops, or a messy bun.
Which brand is best for sweaters?
Honestly, you can’t go wrong with Sézane for Parisian charm, Everlane for elevated basics, or & Other Stories for a bit of trend with your snuggle.
I also swear by vintage cashmere from thrift stores – it’s like winning the knitwear lottery.
What sweaters make you look thinner?
Lightweight knits with a bit of structure, v-necks (always magic), and anything ribbed that hugs just the right places.
I’ve found a well-fitted turtleneck can do more for your silhouette than most shapewear. Add a French tuck and you’re golden.
What to wear under a sweater in winter?
Think of it like building the dream sandwich: thin thermal layers, a soft cotton tee, or even a silk camisole if you’re feeling fancy.
If you’re in truly frosty territory, Uniqlo Heattech is your best friend – you’ll be warm without looking bulky.
