You Said: Yes to Shawl Collar Sweaters
January 5th, 2009
We asked: Would you wear Shawl Collar Sweaters?
You said: Yes to Shawl Collar Sweaters, with a 69% to 31% vote.
Style tip? Shawl collars provide an elegant twist to the everyday cardigan or pullover sweater. The style is very American Classic, so it naturally works with other All American pieces: tailored button-down shirts, tweed skirts, and blazers. But you can also mix things up and pair it with edgier pieces: skinny pants, asymmetrical skirts, and biker jackets.
Next question: Military pants are an interesting casual pant alternative to jeans. But what do you think? Tell us, would you wear Military Pants? Cast your vote on the sidebar!

I could see these for most people, totally. I want to wear them, but they always remind me of my Mom! LoL. I guess I’ll have to do a wacky combination with a funky blouse to ‘own’ the look.

Shawl Collar Sweaters don’t have to look frumpy – just make them your own with a funky combo. You could try the blouse combo – or even a oversized shawl collar sweater with skinny pants. Just have fun with it!

Agree with Trisha – these sweaters can look both comfy and feminine if you style them right! Offsetting the bulk created by all that collar is key …

Shawl collars are a classic styling element, so I think they’re usually a “do”. I have to say though, I ike when the sweater has a more defined / cinched waist than the one pictured.

Great point about offsetting the bulk, Sal!
