3 solid ideas to make your fall/winter sweater coordinate look like an expert in the fastest way possible.

For those who want to dress up their sweaters in a fashionable and stylish way, OTOKOMAE editorial staff has researched the latest fashion trends, and based on the results, we would like to introduce three carefully selected sweater dressing techniques that you can put into practice right away!

(1) Create a relaxed top and bottom coordinate with an “oversized knit” and “wide pants

First of all, we would like to focus on sweater coordinates that reflect the oversized trend that has continued for the past few years. A thick sweater with slightly dropped shoulders is paired with elegant loose-fitting pleated pants that are just long enough to create a slight cushion. This alone will give your coordination a trendy and stylish look, even if you do not choose an item with an eccentric design.

If the silhouette is current, basic colors such as black, gray, and navy are sufficient to create a stylish atmosphere. Once you get used to the look, you can add a little color to your outfit, such as the one-tone brown coordinate shown in the snapshot below, or try a sweater with a knit design that adds a unique twist to the knit fabric to give it a unique look.

Another reference is the coordination shot behind the scenes of James Franco’s James Dean biopic ‘ DEAN/ Dean,’ which is often talked about on social networking sites. The combination of a loose-fitting high-neck knit and pleated slacks has a moderately stylish, unpretentious atmosphere that matches the current mood. Unfortunately, I can’t show you the images in the article, but if you are interested, please search for ” james franco playing dean ” and check it out!

(2) Matching a “colored sweater” with black pants

The use of colorful items that are not too obnoxious can easily lead to an increase in fashionable deviation. The trick to a successful sweater coordinate is to use color only in the knitwear. Other items should be colorless, especially pants in subdued black to accentuate the sweater’s presence and create a stylish atmosphere. At Pitti Uomo, there were many fashionable people wearing black pants with colored sweaters.

The template of colored sweaters and black pants can also be applied to winter coordinates with coats. A simple monotone coat and black pants with a colored sweater will give you a stylish look with an urban atmosphere and a touch of glamour.

(3) Sweater worn over outerwear

Stylish people who enjoy coordinating all kinds of outfits with a free spirit have found a way to coordinate sweaters other than by putting their arms through the sleeves of the sweaters. That is the sweater over the shoulder. This has been a popular style for the past few years, but the sweater over the shoulder has long been known, and even Sean Connery of 007 fame has practiced this style. For fall/winter coordination, a sweater worn over outerwear on the shoulder is sure to be a fashionable look that will make you look more stylish!

We recommend that you choose an outerwear with a stainless steel collar or stand-up collar when you wear a sweater over your shoulders. Sleeves that hang down in front of the sweater when hung over the shoulder can be tied at the front to create a cozy look. You can spice up your outfit by hanging a colored knit over your shoulder as shown in the above coordinate, or you can add a dark sweater to a checkered coat as shown in the snapshot below to tie it all together.

Sweaters to be worn over the shoulders should be middle to low gauge and of a certain thickness. It will not be overpowered by heavy outerwear, and the overall silhouette will look more balanced.
