How to wear a sweater? It may seem like a simple question, but there are so many ways to wear it, and so many sweater styles, that the possibilities are endless. How do you find the right one? Here are our tips and advice!
The t-shirt, the star of any wardrobe
Why is it the star? It's probably the piece you wear most often. So many looks are possible with a t-shirt!
Whether you prefer V-necks or round necks, these tips apply to both.
We recommend buying a few T-shirts larger than your usual size to adopt the famous cooler, more casual look. Let it slip out of your pants using the "French tuck" technique, and you're done!
Add a colorful scarf around your neck and you're back in the '50s! Needless to say, many of the trends of those years are coming back into fashion today.
You can also wear it to simplify a look that seems too chic. To replace a shirt under a jacket or with a skirt and a pair of sneakers, for example!
Over a dress, with a bow at the bottom. And yes, under a dress with small straps too. Not just with pants.
There's even the t-shirt dress: casual, trendy and easy to accessorize. You can wear it with a high boot for a more glamorous, chic look, or with a sneaker or sandal for an everyday look.
It can be the centerpiece of your look if you choose a colorful one with an original cut, but it can also be worn simply, in plain, neutral shades, with a pair of jeans, under a cardigan or an open shirt, a denim or leather coat, with a layering of necklaces, a bootie... anything's possible!

Knitting, your best friend
A lively trend is the loose, sleeveless sweater, worn over a large shirt or simple dress. You know, the knitwear our grandfathers wore or used to wear? Yes, they are!
In general, loose-fitting knitwear is definitely a must-have, in multiples! They're cozy, comfortable and comforting in colder weather, but they're also very fashionable.
With skinny jeans, you can't go wrong. It's simple and effective, and the knitwear becomes the star of your ensemble.
It also looks great with a pair of boyfriend jeans, if you want to go for a more casual, but no less trendy, look.
Other options are also available:
- With a skirt or over a dress, worn with a pretty sneaker. In winter, add tights and booties;
- as a dress, quite simply. Like the t-shirt, if it's long enough, knitwear makes very pretty dresses;
- finally, in a cardigan version. Nothing could be more comfortable! Match it with the shirt or t-shirt of your choice.
Please note: the loose-fitting knitwear trend adds volume. If you'd rather elongate your figure, be sure to wear more fitted bottoms like leggings, skinnies or pencil skirts, and shoes with a minimum heel.

The elegant turtleneck

A knitted turtleneck tucked into high-waisted pants is a YES! Comfort and style come together for a winning look.
Layered, we approve too! Form-fitting under a dress, a shirt or a loose-fitting jacket. It gives new life and style to your favorite dresses and a less chic, strict look to your jacket.
It also looks great with a midi-length skirt! Tuck it into the skirt a little for a dressier look.

Between casual comfort and sophistication, it can blend into your look and be a great all-rounder, but it can also stand out in a big way.
To feminize it, add chic pieces like heels and a short, preferably tight-fitting dress.
To keep it relaxed, go for the jeans and sneakers combo, ideal for a look that's sure to please. effortless yet trendy.
It can be very long for a relaxed look, but can also be transformed into a dress. All you have to do is add a belt at the waist and put on your best high boots, and you're guaranteed elegance.
In summer, opt for a short cardigan in thin fabric with high-waisted pants and sneakers.

The versatile shirt
If you don't already have a white shirt in your wardrobe that fits you like a glove, it's time to go shopping! Then have fun with textures, patterns, cuts and materials. A beautiful shirt that reflects your personality will look good with almost anything.
Wear it under a sweater so that only the collar, cuffs and a little of the hem stand out.
Dare to take the shirt completely out of the pants. Pants can be tailored for a slimmer silhouette or loose for a completely relaxed, fashionable look.
It can be worn over a t-shirt and become a jacket in itself. Make sure it's not too fitted if you want to adopt this look, otherwise the jacket effect won't work.
It'll look great under a jacket for a more chic look, with a neck scarf like the t-shirt for a more bohemian look, and even with a tie to make you stand out at work! With jeans, leather pants, unbuttoned and tied in a bow over one of your pretty midi-length dresses... anything's possible!
