As if getting out of bed every morning wasn't hard enough, now we have to deal with transitional weather. Will tomorrow be a comfortable sixty degrees and sunny, or literally freezing with wind gusts reaching double digits? It is anyone's guess! From bulky knits worn with the gauziest of nearly-naked skirts to fuzzy crewnecks coupled with flouncy spring dresses, the sweater-centric outfits ahead are unlike anything you've ever seen.

Even better, the styling tips below will take these show-stopping runway ensembles out of the realm of high fashion fantasy and into your everyday outfit rotation, allowing you to stay chic and comfortable even when the forecast is completely out of pocket.

Style with Sheers

Sweaters are commonly thought of as fall and winter wardrobe essentials, but they can be worn all spring long when paired with sheer separates or dresses, as shown in the Louis Vuitton and Michael Kors outfits above. Pair your fuzziest sweater with your daintiest lace, sequin, or tulle skirt to make this layered sweater ensemble look more multidimensional.
2. Try Off-Kilter Angles

Crew neck sweaters and cardigans were given an edgy boost at Victoria Beckham and Gucci, with angular and off-kilter style. While we don't recommend nailing your favorite sweater to the front of a zip-up jacket to replicate Victoria Beckham's style above, we do recommend spending time in front of the mirror experimenting with various ways to tuck, twist, and change up the fit of your favorite sweaters.

3. Warm Up Summer Staples

The layered sweater styles shown above are at the intersection of transitional weather ensembles and the Y2K fashion renaissance, and we're here for it. Paco Rabanne's breezy flowery sundresses worn over comforting sweaters exuded windchill-resistant spring sentiments. At Anna Sui, striped sweaters served as a foundation for bohemian cut-out tank tops and maxi skirts. Both ways allow you to get your favorite summer garments out of storage without freezing.

4. Add Sculptural Accents

The nicest sweaters are soft, but that doesn't mean you can't style a layered sweater look with a bit of a harsh edge. For example, consider the vampy sweater combos seen on the Hermes and Isabel Marant runways for FW24/25. Channel your inner fuzzy femme fatale by finishing off your next sweater ensemble with a basque belt or harness.

5. Crop It Like It's Hot

Fresh silhouettes are one of the most exciting elements of any Fashion Week. Fendi and Issey Miyake set their sights on knitwear as the canvas for artful shape experimentation, sending ultra-cropped sweaters down the runway. Recreate this style of layering sweaters at home with ultra-lightweight and breathable knits like mohair, cashmere, or cotton.
