Though we love the classics – everyone should own a basic cardigan and a crewneck sweater – we also think that it’s possible to be as uniquely fashionable in winter as it is in summer.  One of the easiest ways is to take whatever basic bottoms you own – jeans, slacks, skirts – and pair them with a not-so-basic top.

Those pleated shoulders are perfect to balance out a pear shape or add volume to an hourglass.  The banding across the hips, along with the tighter sleeves, showcase your curves while keeping you warm!

It’s a jacket…no…it’s a sweater!  We love how soft and warm this one looks, and how sleek its even lines would be on a straight body.  We also think that the light color and fun collar would be perfect for a pear.

This is a favorite for both Jen and Elle.  Elle loves how drapy it is, and Jen is always looking for tops that don’t cover her hips and thighs.  (It’s a comfort zone for her – she’s working on it.)  We think this top would give a straight figure a chance to play at curves for the day, and an hourglass figure a big boost without being too saucy.


Dani Ruffle Front Cardigan

$128
Apple girls!  This top is totally for you.  The ruffles create lots of length in the torso, and the collar has such a pretty heart shape for anyone with an ample bosom.  Hourglass girls can rock this top too, of course, but this really is the perfect cover-up for an apple figure.

As always, remember that most of these tops will work on almost every figure, when they’re paired with the right layers and bottoms.

What’s your body type, and which top would you choose?

I LOVE sweaters. I live in them in the winter. They are so so so cozy and I think layering looks so hot in the fall :)

I am a curvy “8″-shaped plus-sized woman, and it may not be the most flattering, but I’d totally wear the double-breasted sweater. I LOVE it. Aside from these, I’m a huge fan of cable-knits, hooded/pocketed sweaters, and really thick ones with fantastic turtlenecks!
