Sweater season is here, and now we can really start dressing.

Summer is great and all, but being hot all the time doesn’t really align with being our most fashionable selves. You’ve got to prioritize what is going to keep you cool, not what is going to make you look cool. Let the air get the slightest chill in it, though, and we are blessed with the opportunity to get some layering going. It is time to pull out the sweater collection.

It has to be said that sweaters are not always the garment that we would automatically associate with style. They have the very practical purpose of keeping us warm, and they are the kind of thing that grandmas knit. Nonetheless, just like any kind of garment, their impact is all about how you wear them. One of the greatest things about the world of sweaters is that they come in so many different colors, patterns, and designs. It is one of those pieces of clothing that truly can adapt to suit everyone and can also be a way to show their personality (who needs a zodiac sign?).

Unlike a coat or a jacket, which is specifically for dealing with the outside elements, a sweater is something that, in the colder months, we are likely to keep on all day no matter what climate we’re in. For that reason, it is important to pick the kind that we really like, and also to honor them with a small dose of internet humor.
