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

for all ages.

 

 

Incorporate SSS (sweater as scarf styling)

as a staple accessory item and fashion nod:

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

or attempt to channel something unique to a personal style.

The workings of the fashion industry clock

moves to its own set timing and scheduling:

wonderfully whacky, wholly out of sync

to the normal pace of things.

It is a chronology on a constant warp-speed trajectory.

 

…

Go with the marvelous manic flow and

embrace future looks into present wear.

It may currently be Summer 2015

but for those on fashion watch

it’s already time to position the wardrobe dial to Summer 2016.

 

The collections for fun-in-the-sun

resort wear 2016 are now showcased.

Integrate a few pieces into present styling:

be of the moment in the looks of tomorrow.
