The Answer to Your Holiday Fashion Dilemma: a Chic Black Sweater Tunic
Ever since a spate of killer black sweater dresses & tops walked some our fave runways for Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 – in particular at Tao, Vionnet and Chanel – I’ve had a serious jones on to shimmy on into one. With tights, tall boots and a wonderful coat, a girl can be dressed and fabulous (and warm) in minutes flat. But don’t think the fashion fun stops when the temperature no longer drops…au contraire! Kaiser Karl showed his black sweater tunic/dress for Spring/Summer with bare legs & cute platform strappy flats.
This chic lil’ cashmere number from Spiegel – source of fab women’s apparel when you want fun trends without silly pricetags – is glamorously glitzy (shimmer was a huge component of the Chanel collection); some of the sequins are matte, creating overall shine that’s textural and chic rather than disco ball shiny.
As the dress will do most of the talking (you just do the walking), take it easy on accessories, but do have some fun with your nails. This eyecatching purple (also from Spiegel) makes for a refreshing change from classic red.
