This season, it’s all about the graphic sweater. From dots and stripes to words and even images of animals, anything goes with this trend. These sweaters are intended to be playful and fun, so be sure to have an attitude to match their spunk. Since they speak loudly for themselves, they can be paired with a simple pair of jeans or trousers. Better yet, if you’re feeling really bold, mix it up with some prints and colors that tie it all together. Check out all the ways our favorite fashionistas on the web are wearing the trend.
