Three ways to wear… the college sweater

17th July 2012 11:00 am

As a lot of you are graduating this summer, we thought we’d continue to embrace the university/college theme we introduced yesterday.

We love the classic college sweater, but even if you don’t have one from an actual place of further education, you can totally fake it. There’s quite a few currently on sale, but this Alana Sweater from Abercrombie and Fitch gets our vote for today. It comes in a few different colours, but we went for the grey as we thought it was quite diverse and the styling opportunities were virtually endless.

You can go quite preppy with the classic college sweater, or you can go slightly edgier if that’s more your thing. Carry it around to keep out the chill on a summer’s day or work it into your outfit from the start… you’ll definitely get a lot of use out of it. Here are just three ways to wear it…
