Selecting The Obey Sweater In Keeping With Contemporary Winter Fashions

By Linda Grey


Streetwear is in the spot light because the latest fashion weeks have displayed a wide range of skater style and jeanswear across several different labels. Functional sportswear is very much in fashion, with gym, hiking and other activities acting as inspiration for some of the trendiest ways to wear denim. Knitwear is also being used to create a preppy look, and an Obey sweater is the ideal way to add upmarket appeal to winter casual clothing.

The Obey sweaters collection for the current season is outdoorsy and rustic, but there are also styles that can be worn with a slightly more formal, preppy outfit. Here, cardigans are worn with collared shirts, worn jeans and skinny ties. An Obey sweatshirt needs to be layered to fit in with today's trends.

Winter colors are always neutral, and include navy, grey and chocolate as the basic palettes. During 2013, this trend is changing so that bright shades also have a place in winter wardrobes. The trendiest colors for winter are burnt orange, indigo and burgundy. Burnt orange Obey hoodies are worn together with indigo denim or lighter chambray tops.

Exciting prints are an imperative part of winter trends. For the first time, floral prints and knits have made their way into autumn collections. Graphic prints reminiscent of the Eighties are worn with jeans dyed in every shade imaginable. Find more on Obey sweater prints by visiting the site.

Layering is a challenging style to achieve with aplomb, but both men and women will be learning how to perfect it during 2013. Cardigans, collared sweat shirts and even turtle neck sweaters are worn over T shirts or button downs. These are worn with formal tailored suit jackets or rustic denim and twill coats.

The tribal trend of 2012 will continue in winter 2013. It will be joined by knitwear in every possible shade of blue. Lettering and fonts will be used on navy hoodies as part of the naval trend. Prison stripes are important denim prints for men and women. Jeans are also being fabricated to include glitter, sheen and metallic textures. These are the most innovative fabrics for the year.

Crew sweaters are simple and elegant enough to be worn as smart casual day wear items. When choosing knits for winter, comfort is a priority, and this is based largely on the fabric selected. Many find pure wool to be too uncomfortable, but synthetics don't allow the skin to breathe. This can make one feel too hot.

Cotton and synthetic blends are ideal for knitwear because they are warm and breathable. Loose knits breathe more easily to keep one's temperature perfect. An Obey sweater that does not contain wool can be machine washed and is not likely to shrink.
