How-To Wear Knits

Whether you choose a cozy cardigan, chunky turtleneck or a comfortable sweater-dress, the knit texture will always be a versatile cold-weather trend. Here are some easy and stylish ways to wear this wintertime staple.

Fantastic accessories and pieces can take a basic knit sweater and turn it into a head-turning fashion statement. You can also mix layers, colors and textures for interesting outfit appeal.

Knit cardigans can bring stylish flair to a basic outfit. Try wearing one unbuttoned over a chic blouse, tanktop or dress for added warmth and style. Wear with hot accessories like animal-print pumps or booties and complementary jewelry.

Other great knit pieces are those with metallic thread mixed throughout and faux-fur trimmings. You can also cinch your sweater or dress with an attention-grabbing belt for extra style credits.

For a fabulous mix of texture, pair your favorite cozy knit sweater with a fun summer skirt, and your sweater-dress with a pair of leather knee-high boots.

Whatever way you choose to wear your knit, one thing is certain: A great knit will always go a long way in keeping you warm and fashionable - and who doesn't love a cozy-yet-stylish sweater?
