Trend Alert: Oatmeal Sweaters

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:00:08 PST

Oatmeal sweaters used to remind me of hemp and granola, but consider me a changed woman. They have been revamped with a smashing array of cuts and textures. I love how these sweaters lend instant warmth to any ensemble.

Check out how Nicole Richie worked her oatmeal cardi into her wardrobe. The thin knit and baggy cut exude a cool vibe and the neutral color goes with everything. On a side note, I wonder what Nicole has in that Chanel bag.

Look of the Day: Feeling Knotty

FabSugar — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 03:14:57 PST

This look from Fab reader skippinginheels combines two of our recent Fab trend alerts - knotted maxiskirts and cozy-cool loafers - in a very cute way. She wore a rust-colored maxiskirt, knotted at the knee, with a chunky oatmeal-hued knit sweater and skinny brown leather belt. She finished up her look with classic loafers and a pair of orange feather earrings. Love the way she worked in the trends!

Congrats skippinginheels!
