We know, we know—you probably read the title of this article and suddenly became bemused by the idea of wearing a sweater in our country's perpetual summer. In this heat, it's always a challenge to come up with interesting 'fits without getting exasperated under the sweltering sun. Sweater weather is usually only a thing when we're cooped up in the air-conditioned corners of our offices.
Although when the holiday season rolls in, it does bring along a cooler-than-usual breeze that beckons us to bust out those jackets resting at the back of our closets. Spending Christmas abroad (some place where it snows, perhaps) is an even better excuse to get some wear out of these wardrobe heroes. Got to make the most out of the season, right? For ideas on how to rock a sweater like a celebrity, scroll through the OOTDs we curated below:
10 Chic Ways to Wear a Sweater, As Seen on Celebrities
1. Heart Evangelista
To start things off, let's talk about how to rock a sweater without actually wearing it. An easy-breezy way to incorporate it into your 'fits is to nonchalantly wrap it around your shoulders for a subtly preppy vibe. Heart Evangelista approves of this style cue, tossing a striped ribbed sweater over her casual all-white 'fit.
2. Jinkee Pacquiao
A cozy sweater also makes for the perfect airport OOTD, as demonstrated by Jinkee Pacquiao. Team a vibrant-hued one with a straightforward pair of jeans and some sandals and you're good to go. If you're a luxe traveller like the socialite, matching your top with your carry-on bag (say, an Hermes Birkin) also adds a personal touch.
3. Kelsey Merritt
Go the sleek route with a chunky knitted sweater and pair it with some straight-cut jeans and dressy leather shoes. Take it from Kelsey Merritt, who French-tucked her knit and accessorized with a petite black purse, shades, and chunky hoops.
4. Kathryn Bernardo
If you're a globe-trotter like Kathryn Bernardo, having an arsenal of stylish sweats is a must. On a trip to Japan, she wore an AMI Paris piece over a collared shirt and a mini skirt, giving a slight nod to academia style. Her thigh-high boots and Chanel crossbody rounded things out with heaps of chicness!
5. Andrea Brillantes
As cliche as it may be for some, a beret will instantly add a cutesy, Parisian-esque vibe to your looks. Andrea Brillantes demonstrated just as much with her travel OOTD in San Francisco, in which she sandwiched a red sweatshirt with a white skirt and some lace-up boots. Tres chic!
6. Pia Wurtzbach
An easy way to rock a monochromatic motif is to couple your blue jean bottoms, say a mini skirt, with a lighter-in-shade sweater. To illustrate, here's Pia Wurtzbach looking chic and cozy in her boxy Loewe knit.
7. Elisse Joson
Channel your inner Princess Diana and rock an extra-extra-extra-large logo sweater with a pair of biker shorts, sneakers, and white socks. An evident fan of the '90s-inspired style combo, Elisse Joson toted her Balenciaga Le Cagole for a some additional edge.
8. Kylie Verzosa
When you've got a supersized sweater on your hands, why bother with pants, right? Kylie Verzosa's particularly a big fan of the "bottom-less" lewk. In this laid-back OOTD, where she wore a knit quarter-zip with itty-bitty shorts, a pair of booties, and a Bottega Veneta Jodie.
9. Issa Pressman
Hubadera girlies, fear not, because sweaters totally belong in your wardrobes, too. All it takes is a little cutting and tailoring to make yourself a cropped version, which pairs perfectly with mid-waist jeans and some leather booties. Issa Pressman goes the extra mile and coordinates her top with her handbag.
10. Angelique Manto
This 'fit of Angelique Manto's is further proof that wearing a sweater doesn't always mean covering everything up. You don't even need to cut it up! Here, she simply tucks in the excess fabric under a bra, creating an instant cropped fit. For an extra dash of sultriness, she pulled up her whale tail and had some silver stilts peeking out from under her jeans.
