Let's face it, once the temperatures start to drop, it can be tempting to give up and resign yourself to a life of leggings and oversized sweaters, as chic as those items can be. With a little effort and the following expert tips from Naples' best consignment store, True Fashionistas, you can still look trés hip and fashionable in the colder months. Here are some tips on how to pull off long sleeves in fall and winter.
LOOKING COOL IN LONG SLEEVES THIS FALL AND WINTER – ULTRA-LONG SLEEVES
One of the hottest looks designers flocked to for fall runways was oversized pieces with ultra-long sleeves. It's also one of the easiest ways to stay comfortable and stylish in cooler weather. An oversized sweater or cardigan looks excellent paired with True Fashionista skinny jeans or leggings, and you can add a scarf or beanie for extra warmth. If you're feeling really daring, you can even try an oversized trench coat! This season's ultra-long sleeves also go so far as to almost completely hide your hands, a significant plus in colder climates. One such achievement is the La Greca monogram bodysuit by Versace. Also making the "hide your hands" statement is Proenza Schouler's zip mock neck rib sweater. Just make sure that the proportions of long sleeves against the rest of your outfit are balanced to perfection.
LOOKING COOL IN LONG SLEEVES THIS FALL AND WINTER – LAYER UP
Layer, Layer, Layer- Another great way to stay warm and look hip is to layer your clothing. A long-sleeved tee underneath a sweater is a classic look that never goes out of style. Experiment with the long sleeve tee from Halogen. Their soft, lightweight fabric and fitted shape provide an easy layer to start with. You can try layering a button-down shirt over said tee or try the Everland organic cotton crew tee. Wear a turtleneck underneath a dress or jumpsuit for those throwback moods. The key is to experiment and see what works best for you, then shop for it at True Fashionistas, the best designer consignment store.
LOOKING COOL IN LONG SLEEVES THIS FALL AND WINTER – SWEATER TIME
Get creative with textures and materials for your perfect go-to sweater: When it comes to staying warm, it's not just about layering but also choosing suitable materials. Wool and other thick fabrics will help keep you cozy, but they can also be very scratchy and uncomfortable. Opt for softer materials like cotton or linen instead. You can't go wrong with the KindCashmere turtleneck sweater from Lafayette 148 New York, which also conveniently has ultra-long sleeves! Look sleek in an ultra-long tunic length with a ribbed mock neck sweater from Free People. You can also get creative with textures by pairing corduroy with denim or mixing different types of long-sleeved knitwear.
