No Sweat.

By: Jen Shoop

Great sweaters are a MUST for winter in Chicago (though, truth be told, it’s been delightfully mild so far — I’ve been able to run almost every day I’ve wanted to!  The cut off is 28 degrees.  Anything lower, I will NOT DO IT.)  I love the cool-chic way these ladies have styled their sweaters, gracefully avoiding the “bulk” knits can so often add.

Hence my obsession with this studded TopShop lovely ($125) — so punk-cool.  I could see Kate Moss sporting this.  Inspired by the second photo above, I’d pair with some rad bell-bottoms — I actually JUST snagged this pair from hot denim line Frame Denim (on sale for $143!, plus 25% off with code BONUS25)

Finish with one of these epic Chloe bags ($1,950):

The only thing I can’t figure out is what the hell to wear with flares in the shoe department.  A pointed toe looks so 90s; you almost need a clog or round toe.  I’m on the hunt but an open to your suggestions, friendlies.  Something like this pair of Aquazzuras ($775) would be PARFAIT, but let’s be honest, that ain’t happening for the next 6 months here in Chicago.

Also digging this fringed/textured tunic sweater ($98), which I’d pair with leather jeans (Frame, $950 — or get the look for less with these) and some ombre suede heels (Manolo Blahnik, $695):

I also love the high-fashion shape of this knit ($148), which I’d wear with J. Brand flares ($220):

Same problem with footwear…what does one wearrrr?!  Clogs are back in but these seem intimidating.

A few others I also adore:

+Cropped knit sweater in a great tan hue ($98).

+A studded H+M find ($50) — what a price!

+The cheeriest of cheery orange sweaters ($59).

+The pattern on this Tory Burch sweater is beyond (on sale for $238).

+This fair isle sweater is adorable — love it in the sky blue combo ($98).

+The heathered orchid knit sweater is so cozy ($159).

+Love this Aztec print blanket sweater thing ($183).  Or get the look for less with this BBDakota find ($63).
