This “Grandpa” Trend Is Suddenly All I Want to Wear

I’ve always associated a sweater tied around your shoulders with
one of two things: a prep-school kid or a sweet old man, with the
latter being the most common. But as with many other retro fall
trends, this “grandpa” styling trick is back in a big way this
year thanks to fashion people around the globe.

Whether it’s layered over a blazer, a T-shirt, or another
sweater, wrapping yourself in a chunky knit sweater is one of
fall’s
easiest styling
tricks that just happens to be everywhere right now. It makes
every outfit look instantly more thoughtful, and it adds interest
to even the most basic of outfits. I actually prefer the
sweater-tied-around-the-shoulders trick with an outfit that’s more
on the minimalist
side, as I think a cleaner color palette looks chic and
elevated.

But don’t just take my word for it—keep scrolling to see how
fashion girls are styling their sweaters around their shoulders,
and shop my favorite pieces to re-create the looks yourself.

This
sweater set does the legwork for you.
