How To Wear A Sweater Coat

how to wear a sweater coat | oh darling blog

Tis the season for cardigans, winter coats, and sweater coats! We love this time of year – the cooler days, the layers, and of course the HOLIDAYS!! A sweater coat offers a little more structure and design with a slight cardigan slouch, perfect if you ask us. They are great for those cold days when you don’t need a winter coat, but a cardigan is just the right amount of warmth. It’s like being wrapped up in a blanket and who doesn’t love that?!

Sweater Coat

Pair With A Turtleneck

We are huge fans of turtlenecks and if it’s a striped turtleneck we are instantly sold! We love an extra layer of warmness during those cold and blustery fall days. Can we all agree that there is just something about a turtleneck that makes your outfit look more dressed up and put together?

Styling Tip

Retro looks are very in and we actually did a whole post about it HERE. Style your sweater coat with a retro striped turtleneck, a pair of white booties, and a beret. You instantly look chic and stylish for the fall and winter weather!

Place A Belt Around Your Waist

If you are feeling a little too bulky, wrap a belt around your waist. It dresses up your sweater and defines your waist.

Styling Tip

Wear a ribbed turtleneck sweater with a pair of white ripped jeans and an off-white sweater coat. Wrap your favorite thin or thick brown belt around your waist, put on your favorite block heel booties, and you have the perfect neutral look!

Pair With A Camisole

Camisoles are a closet staple if you ask us! They dress up any outfit and can be worn year round. When we style a camisole, we like to pair it with a pair of ripped skinny jeans. It just adds that little bit of edge to a feminine top.

Styling Tip

Try wearing all black underneath your sweater coat for a more sophisticated look. Complete the look with a pair of black booties, black tall boots, or even your favorite black pointed pumps.

Pair With A Graphic Tee

We love our graphic tees!! We usually style them alone or under our sweaters, coats, and jackets. A graphic tee just adds a little dimension to whatever you are wearing. You can find graphic tees almost anywhere you shop at a wide range of prices.

Styling Tip

Wear your favorite boyfriend or girlfriend jeans, pick out a graphic tee, and style with your sweater coat. Pair this outfit with some sneakers or loafer mules and you’re ready to tackle the day!

Pair With A Denim Skirt

Have a denim skirt in your closet that you wore all summer… bring it back out! It doesn’t have to be retired for the season just because the fall and winter weather has arrived.

Styling Tip

Over the knee boots are great for taking what you may typically wear for summer like a denim skirt and extend the life. They add that extra bit of warmth that you need! Pair your OTK boots with a denim miniskirt, a turtleneck for that added warmth, and your sweater coat.

Pair With A Dress

A sweater coat can be styled with any dress. It just adds that warmth and structure you need.

Styling Tip

Have a sleeveless dress that you love, but winter weather has decided to come early? Wear the dress with your sweater coat and a pair of over the knee boots.
