T

he sweater set has evolved.
Not that we don't still love a demurely sexy,
Jackie 0-inspired jewel-neck twin set. But
this chilly sweater-weather season has more on-trend
variations of the cozy go-to sweater than ever, with
bold and asymmetrical silhouettes, surprising cutouts,
graphic prints and experimentation with mixed media
(think leather or lace detailing). The key to keeping
the look modern and fresh is keeping the overall look
sleek: If the knit is oversized and slouchy or boxy and
cropped, pair it with skinny jeans or leggings for a
straight line.
