A fall must-have with a twist

Knit sweaters are known as fall fashion’s must-have clothing item, but heavy knit garments tend to get boring by the end of fall. This is why I love my H&M black knit sweater with cut-out sleeves. At a glance, it looks like the average sweater, but take a second look and you will notice it’s not-so-average sleeves.   


Usually knit sweaters make my body look too bulky because of my curves, but the cut-outs attract more attention to my shoulders, giving a balanced look to the rest of my body. The sweater is also lightweight and loose fitting, leaving extra room to layer without feeling like a walking bundle of fabric.

Black clothing is always classic and can stay in a wardrobe for months and maybe even a year or two. Even though the “cut-out” trend has re-appeared throughout the past couple of years, the cut-outs on the sweater—whether they will be trendy next year or not—will always make for an interesting ensemble. Without the subtle cuts, this would just be a black sweater.

Because of the sweater’s versatility it can be worn with denim, leggings and skirts, giving each look a different style. Toward the colder days of fall, the sweater can be dressed up with scarves, and the cut-outs make it breathable, allowing me to throw a on heavy coat during the winter months.   


Most days, if a sweater is on my outfit forecast, it is because I’m cold and I’m not looking to put too much effort into my look of the day. A black sweater goes with everything, but the cuts make the entire piece work double time, not only serving as a comfortable fall garment, but also an edgy piece without working too hard. I can dress the sweater down or up without feeling too lazy about my look.
