Sweaters are a basic staple; they keep you warm, come in many different fabrics, prints and colours, and you know they'll always be in style for fall/winter. But this season, they have a new and exciting spin to them.
It's almost impossible to walk into a store now and not see some sort of rhinestone, jewel or other embellishment on cold weather's best friend. It's such a great contrast between the chunky, casual material and the dressy, fun accents.
The sweater has come so far that it could even be worn for a night out. And if you pair it perfectly, dare I say, you could even wear one to a holiday party this year? Especially a classic black, fitted sweater, perhaps paired with leather trousers and a statement shoe?
If you want to ease into the trend, you might want to try something like these necklace sweaters from
Joe Fresh (left) or
ASOS (right). You could either be wearing the embellished sweater trend, or not, and no one will know until they see your back (where the necklace part doesn't reach).
You could start off small, like with this sweater from
Zara. The rhinestones blend in a bit with the grey, but stand out just enough to give the top a little something.
If you wanted to go a bit further, try something like this bejewelled striped sweater from
Tory Burch. The pattern is classic and simple, making the top look stylish and not too crazy, even with all the jewels.
If you wanted to jump right into the trend and are not afraid to stand out, this
Top Shop piece is probably more what you're looking for. The colourful sequins allow you to pair the top with just about any colour, and because it's knitted, you could wear it in fall, winter or spring.
Here are just some other great embellished sweaters from ASOS I wanted to share with you!
