One Hundred 14: Cable-Knit Sweater

The cable-knit sweater is a classic staple that should be in everyone’s closet.  This lovely piece of clothing came from the fishermen in Ireland and became a staple in New England.  This is a go to piece that every women needs.  I truly think that everyone should have a couple of these in their closet; neutral colors and then a lovely fun color!

Now how about great ways to wear these lovely cable-knit sweaters. The best way to wear them is to keep it simple.  Remember it is a go to piece and you can wear it to just about anything! Pair it with jeans and simple accessories. Next add it to a pair of fun pants and shoes that are out there and perfect. Or you can dress it up just a bit with a skirt.  But always keep the accessories limited and kinda simple.  I love wearing my sweater with dark wash jeans and my light tan boots! YES!

Here is the cable-knit sweaters hitting the runway!

Do you want to know a great secret that Nina Garcia and I have figured out? The perfect place to find a great cable-knit sweater is in the mens’ section! I know you think I am crazy right? Shopping in the mens’ section.  But it is great! You can find exactly what you are looking for it comes bigger and in those great neutral colors!
