Winter is upon us, which means it’s time to bring out those trusty knits and pullovers – but with a twist…

If you’re anything like us, you’re probably wearing your warm woolies with jeans and sneakers. But that does seem like a bit of a cop-out, don’t you think? Don’t get us wrong, we love our jeans, but it’s time to switch up your pullover game.

So let us head over to the land of inspiration: Instagram. Here’s exactly how fashion girls embrace #sweaterweather – and how to get the look in real life (IRL).

Under overalls

Besides being a logistical nightmare in the bathroom, overalls are a year-round staple. The lazy-girl’s dream, simply throw a knit jersey under a pair and you’re good to go.

@newzlynd and I spent much of the past year creating the concept and design for @33greenwich.nyc – undergoing an extensive, historic gut renovation to bring the idea to fruition. And it’s almost finished! We’ve been in previews for the past week and it is beautiful and surreal to see the space coming to life – filled with food, friends, and feeling. ✨ #33Greenwich by @kizmet.world 📷 by @lindseabrown
