I favor fitted silhouettes and tailored pieces, but when winter rolls around I love an oversized sweater. I got this Aritzia Montpellier sweater during the Black Friday sales and it must have been such a big seller that it’s now available in two other gorgeous light grey colors!
SHOP MY ARITZIA MONTPELLIER SWEATER LOOK:
Aritzia (also love this, this, this, this, and this) // Coat: T Tahari ON SALE (also found here and here in leopard print) // Denim: AG Jeans The Legging // Booties: ASKA Collection (similar here) // Ring: Baublebar // Bracelet: J Crew (similar here) // Bag: Chloe (also here)
I’m all about texture lately, whether it’s this looped-stitch merino wool oversized sweater or the new bed sheets we just got from West Elm. Fabric with a fun composition adds another element to what could otherwise be characterized as a plain Jane kind of outfit. The sweater dress I just wore in my last post also had an interesting material which made it that much more special.
I used to be worried that wearing an oversized sweater would make me look bulky and shapeless. That can definitely be true, but I found that by sizing up in pieces that are designed to be big, they can also be very flattering. I bought this Aritzia Montpellier sweater in a small and medium and ended up liking the look of the medium much more. Because of the oversized fit, it almost ends up like a tunic. It has been perfect for work and even better for lounging around the house. Banana Republic has some beautiful textured sweaters that are currently on sale, like this one and this one. I also love this one from JCrew.
I kept the look clean with my favorite black legging jeans and leather ASKA Collection booties. I nearly always wear bright gold jewelry so I used my classic JCrew links bracelet (similar here) with my new Baublebar Gamma ring. This ring was back-ordered over the holidays, but I just saw that it was available and scooped it up. At $32, it’s a steal!
I hope you’re all having a nice long weekend!
