As evidenced by the pants ‘n boots trend, the rustic look is in. Instead of delicate cardigans and sleek V-necks, chunky cardigans and sweaters with shawl necks and mock turtlenecks are appearing on our fashion radar. They’re more practical in colder weather and they don’t require a lot of planning. Just throw on a T-shirt, the sweater, and jeans and you’re set. There is no need for layers upon layers when you’re using one thick and comfy sweater. Start your search by checking out our suggestions!
