Layer it!

     Wearing a blazer over a sweater is a cozy, classic look this season.  Don't be afraid to mix and match colours but be mindful of proportions.  Choose a sweater that's not too bulky so your blazer fits over easily and maintains a tailored look.

     Add a collared shirt with a fun print or accent colour for a third layer.  Let the shirt peak out over the top of the blazer and the bottom of the sweater to keep the look balanced.  Finish your outfit with a statement necklace to dress it up or throw on a cozy scarf for a more casual look.

 This trend works with sweater dresses too!  Let the layering show by wearing the blazer sleeve shorter than the sweater.  You can roll up the blazer sleeve and let the lining show which will add another texture or print to the look.

     Mix neutrals for a very sophisticated look.  White and ivory, black and navy or heather grey and charcoal are all beautiful combinations.    This look works best when the sweater has a lot of texture, such as a cable knit, to give the neutral pallet more interest.  Add a pop of colour with a statement necklace, scarf or coloured jeans.  Just mix and match items you already have in your wardrobe and have fun!
