Spring Trends You Oughta Know: The Seasonal Sweater

The glorious seasonal sweater. It just makes my heart happy thinking about it! What I ABSOLUTELY love about this trend is that I never have to pack those puppies away post winter! Wahoo. Now, that’s something to be excited about!

Per my experience, the problem that most people have with this trend is the idea of divorcing the words winter and sweater. Although I understand this difficulty, as we are conditioned to associate the two words together, they are not and I repeat ARE NOT, mutually exclusive! And yes, I’m making a relationship analogy for seasons and sweaters. haha.

The KEY to mastering this trend involves two things:

1. Divorcing the words winter and sweater.

2. To not be afraid of mixing and matching textiles.

I am personally convinced that these two tips alone will give you the “little” boost you need to start interchanging seasons in your wardrobe! Ok, ok. I’m done talking! Here’s how I recently incorporated the seasonal sweater concept into my spring wardrobe.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been a sucker for sweaters. I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m cold natured. Any who, what drew me to this particular sweater was; 1. The color, 2. The crochet design. The lite oatmeal color willl go with any and everything that I have in my fall/winter and spring/summer wardrobes. And it’s breathable! Crochet designs immediately SCREAM “breathability” to me, which is important to me when purchasing seasonal pieces. 

I chose the shorts, just because they were funky and not something I would typically wear. I have really long legs, so I have to be very careful with the shorter shorts. Also, selecting this sequin print was a really easy way to show you guys how YOU can mix and match textiles and how wonderfully they can compliment one another. 

I will continue to shamelessly promote Delicate Raymond, until every one of my readers has this necklace. You need it in your life. Like seriously, you do. 

I’m obsessed with the abstract shape in the crochet design and how it PERFECTLY compliments the various shapes in the short! Absolutely superb and very unexpected. Love those moments of surprise when styling a look.
