That Statement Sweater

We’ve heard of statement tights, necklaces, earrings, and other such accessories. But I’m digging the idea of a bold, statement sweater that defines a look. You may have recalled that I have been photographed in this sweater before. I proudly rewear all my beloved items in my closet over and over, and I love repurposing and reimagining them. Not much to reimagine here, though, since this wild and huge sweater coat does all the talking. This is not a piece I can wear with anything, and why would I want to? This baby comes out to pack a punch only on special occasions. I have worn this unique piece to Fashion Week and it got me interviewed for a show on street style. NYFW is fast approaching and it’s always exciting seeing who the camera crews will nab for an interview outside the shows. I’ve done a bunch and they’re always so much fun. 
Given the design of the sweater, I like a clean black aesthetic underneath to keep it streamlined. Yes, the piece is loud but the overall effect is kept in a clean silhouette, which not only allows the sweater to shine but also so that I don’t look all over the place. A black jumpsuit, black leather gloves, old Prada statement sunnies, and black leather shoes with zipper details are a black but not at all basic foundation. I love outerwear and adore this fresh alternative to a coat which also makes for a great transitional outer layer.
