Second Skin


The perfect sweater for every shape!


Now that we can no longer grip to our summer styles it is time to commit to the perfect winter sweater. Green and red reindeer jumpers given to you by your elderly aunt will no longer be permissible attire for the classy urban women. Instead, here are some fool proof tips on picking the perfect winter sweater for your shape.

Pear Shaped

Small on top and broad on bottom means that you want to bring more focus to your top half. This makes you lucky because this winter printed sweaters and stripes are all the rage. Feel free to jump on the band wagon with a cool plaid hoodie or a horizontally stripped pull-over. These prints will give the illusion of being proportionate from head to toe.

Athletic

This perfectly toned body type may not be blessed with the boobage but there is always a way to enhance what you’ve got. For you ladies feel free to crawl into a comfy empire waist sweater which will give the appearance of curves in all the right places. Also, the loose fitting bottom will be a good place to hide that extra piece of fruit cake you just had to have this Christmas.

Top-heavy

These lucky ladies blessed up top need a sweater that is made of a light-weight fabric which means no knits. Light weight fabrics won’t add bulk to a place which is already filled out nicely. When looking for a sweater also look for a v-neck to draw attention to the face and maybe even a little bit of décolletage, but a little bit is the key!

Round

Ladies who are bigger in the middle need a little synching. Create a foe waist with a thin rap. Tie it at the narrowest part of your body to create the hour-glass figure you crave. Also, the gathering in a rap will hide any tiny imperfections and leave room for that always bigger than needed holiday dinner.

Hour Glass

Since you are all the chosen ones you can almost pull off any sweater. But to look absolutely astonishing and fit for the season a knitted belted sweater with oversized buttons down the front would be perfect. This will accentuate the tininess of your waist and the fullness of your hips and chest. To add a little bit of playfulness, the oversized buttons will draw attention and give it a subtle sexy look that is appropriate for all occasions.

I don't know if I agree with the title though, it leads me to think that I am going to read about how I can keep my skin nice looking. Especially if this was on the cover of a mag and I had no time to look in it to find out what that peice was about before I bought it, I might think I am buying a mag with a peice on skin in it.

I agree with whoever said that about the title. I like the article because it's so hard to follow trends when you don't look like a stick and that's what they're catering too. Maybe something like "That Darn Yarn" or "The Better Sweater"...you know. Second skin either gives you the idea that you'll be talking about skin, or something really tight like a bathing suit. And will there be pics?
