The “IT” Sweater
Every fall/winter season there seems to be an “it” item! What do I mean by an “it” item you ask? When you can see a clothing item in square after square after square on Instagram, I call it the “it” item of the season. At times, I’m tempted to jump on the bandwagon but don’t. However, when I kept seeing this sweater and it looked cute on everyone wearing it (young and midlife and all body types) plus it looked so cute all the different ways it was styled, I had to jump on the bandwagon!
“It” Sweater and Leggings
Since the sweater is oversized and has good length like a tunic, it makes sense to style it with leggings! The sweater comes in 33 colors and patterns. I opted for the white (off white?) color since I felt it could be paired with anything on the bottom. Remember the styling tip: If it’s loose fitting on the top, wear something fitted on the bottom! I ordered my usual size; but you can see I could have probably gone down a size. This first picture is not the most flattering but I wanted to share it in order for you to get a sense of the oversized fit. By the way, it’s super soft! It can be washed and dried. This whole look is so comfortable. In fact, I’d put it up there with wearing leisure wear!
(I promise my Christmas decorations have been long down! Clearly I took these pictures during the holiday season!)

“It” Sweater and Dress Pants
Since I ordered the sweater around the holiday, I opted to pair it with some red dress pants and my plaid booties. I could swap out this jewelry and add some heart accessories for a Valentine’s Day Vibe! Truly the options are endless! This picture shows the length in the back…good booty coverage! That’s probably why I’d keep my regular size instead of going down a size. I’m 5’8 for your reference and wearing a medium!

“It” Sweater and Jeans
The “It” sweater pairs well with any slim fitting jeans. I opted to wear my jeans with the side stripes in sequins, rhinestone belt and add my silver pumps. This is also a great holiday look, weekend date night look and party vibe! As you can see, I opted for a slight front tuck to give me some more definition in the middle. Plus I wanted this amazing rhinestone belt to shine and be seen!

“It” Sweater and Leopard Pants
Any print pants would match this sweater and that’s one reason it’s so great! I opted to pair it with my leopard pants and add my Steve Madden sneakers with gold and leopard side stripes. Sneakers aren’t always my go to as I tend to prefer some type of heel but I think this look turned out pretty cute and of course very comfortable.

In all seriousness, I could have kept going and who knows how many outfits I could continue to create! Do you have a favorite?
The “It” Sweater was sitting in my Amazon cart waiting for me to pull the trigger when I read a Facebook post written by my friend Suzanne. (You know her from Stylish Mondays.) She was commenting on how great the sweater is and I chimed in that I was thinking of ordering it. Then Andy added comments that it was also in her cart. (You also know Andy from Stylish Mondays.) We each ordered different colors and put our spin on styling this year’s “It Sweater”.

Love your animal print leggings Jules!!
Hi Lor!
Thanks! They fit so snuggly that they look like leggings but they’re actually more like pants.

Love the versatility of this style sweater. i had to smile at the description of this as the “It Sweater”. An old actress – Lana Turner – was referred to as the “It Girl”. She filled a sweater well and was discovered sipping a milk shake at a soda counter in a drug store MANY years ago. Now I’m showing my age. I like that you can cover up some unwanted rolls and still look fashionable in this style sweater.
Hi Kenlyn!
I named this sweater the “It” sweater because I was seeing everyone wearing it and it looked good on all ages and sizes! Plus it comes in so many colors! That’s a fun story about the “it” girl – Lana Turner!

Hey Lor!
You will love this sweater! I like the white because it goes with everything; but I was thinking of also getting the pink. Can’t wait to see which colors or patterns you pick out! I knew you’d like the black and white since it your signature colors!
