what do you wear *over* sweaters like this?
Permalink Closed

I have several sweaters that have a "dramatic shape" (stealing verbage from Nordstrom.com here).  Along this line:


 


What can I wear over them when it gets REALLY cold...as in, parka weather, know what I mean?  In the past, I've avoided wearing them if I know I'll be outside for longer than a sprint from the car to the front door.  It's easier when the sleeves are like this and I can get a coat over the sleeves.  But bell sleeves, kimono sleeves, etc??  Sometimes they're too bulky for my tailored winter coat...

I would like to know too because up to now I have refrained from buying such sweaters for the very same reason.  If I didn't have to wear a coat, I still don't know if I would wear such sweaters because even small bell sleeves bother the heck out of me--they always get in my way.

I have no idea because I live in Texas & usually don't have to worry about such things - but that first sweater is GORGEOUS.

I don't know...any sweaters or blouses I have like that, I wear when it's not so cold that I have to put something over them. The only think I can think of is a cape or pashmina-type wrap.

What about wearing something under it instead? Like a long sleeve T-Shirt?

Thats what I was thinking also. A long sleeved tee or thermal , and then for fun you could put a wide belt around the sweater to define your waist.

Or maybe try a cape, or a large pashmina?

I have this problem too since I buy quite a bit of these "dramatic shape" sweaters.  I'm going to look for or buy one of these cape-type coats.



 


This one's not so much for me - but could also work:

I like a big wide belt around the waist over it.  I'd wear it over skinny jeans tucked into boots.
