Sweaters draped over the shoulders and

tied around the neck with a single knot or sleeve loop-

has long been a statement styling feature,

particularly signature of preppy/collegiate fashion.

This look of sweater as scarf has evolved,

with styling options of varying twits and turns.

It is an all encompassing fashion feature

for all seasons

for all genders

sleeves wrapped in multiple layers around the neck; tied diagonally crossbody

or attempt to channel something unique to a personal style.
