Thick Sweaters and Skirts

By Amra B.

It has been very cold in New York City and my staple piece has become a thick sweater and an oversized coat. In an effort to maintain some chic in my wardrobe, I started combining thick sweaters with skirts and over the knee boots. I love the mixture of casual and dressy pieces, and I adore this skirt that reveals just a little bit of lace. 

Below are some tips on how to wear this combination: 

• Choose oversized sweaters: oversized sweaters are very flattering for almost any silhouette as they tend to give a slimming effect. I also find it that thick short (or tight sweaters) are rather unpractical; they don’t serve their purpose of keeping you warm as well as they should. 
• For a casual style: combine thick sweaters with above the knee skirts. This combination is easy to wear and is a great way to look a little more dressed up in winter. 
• For an office look: pair a thick sweater with a below the knee skirt and pumps or booties. I love the balance of a casual oversized sweater with a dressier pencil skirt or a midi.   

Wishing you an amazing day!
