Wave Rib Sweater

This statement swirl sweater made our product of the week

Everyone needs an anything-but-boring sweater in their winter wardrobes. While we love neutral staples for everyday, there's something to be said for one-of-a-kind, eye-catching pieces. This Wave Rib Sweater by Opening Ceremony is the perfect conversation starter, with its psychedelic wave print and two-tone design. And even though it's on-trend this season, you can easily wear it year-round for a little extra warmth. Layer it over a button-down or under a structured jacket and prepare for a score of compliments.

As obnoxious as it seems to attach the prefix 'statement' to anything that's currently 'trendy', I cannot think of a better way to describe sweaters that just scream 'look at me'. The phoneme started with Kenzo's embroidered tiger, then the 'BOY LONDON' and 'come des fuckdown' sweaters in 2012. In 2013 Cara Delevigne and teens alike sported fake brand-name sweaters. This year, inspired by Alexander Wang's semi-transparent 'Parental Advisory' T-shirts and Sweatshirts can be found at any High Street retailer. If you like, those cashmere knits and cotton jerseys are nothing but glamorised gym wear and there's no denying that gym apparel is incredibly comfortable- as long as you're not exercising in it. When I put on that perfectly worn-in sweatshirt on, I feel like wearing a safety-blanket. An easy way to dress down a miniskirt or denim cut-offs, or just to make an otherwise average outfit pop- don't underestimate the power of the statement sweater.

Fall is arguably the best shopping season; you can buy great pants and jeans, you can start wearing your cute boots, you can begin to buy and bring out all of your comfortable sweaters. There is something amazing about wearing a gorgeous sweater that not only makes you feel good, but it also makes you look incredible.

This fall, statement sweaters are all the rage. The best feature of a statement sweater is that you can go as out of the box, or as subdued as you want. There are also many different colours and pattern options to choose from. Another feature of the sweater that makes it phenomenal is that you can decide how fitted you want it to be. If you like oversized clothing, there are a lot of selections available, or if you prefer to wear tailored pieces you can do that as well. Some statement sweaters are also appropriate for the corporate lifestyle, as long as you work at a company that allows you to express your creativity.

The versatility of the statement sweater will make it your go-to piece for fall. Throw a pair of skinny jeans or tights underneath and you will be a stunning vision, one who obviously knows how to dress for cooler temperatures.
