As winter approaches and sweaters become a necessity, wearing graphic printed sweaters can be an excellent way to make a stylish statement while staying warm.
“Graphic print sweaters are a fabulous way to easily throw together a polished yet fun ensemble,” says Saks Fifth Avenue Handbag Department Buyer Casey Winston. “Mixing and matching the more casual graphic sweater with a leather skirt can make it go from day to evening and give an edgy and trendy vibe. Accessorize with opaque black tights and booties, and you have a great look for the upcoming season.”
