I used to complain about the dreary months in which I rotated through variations of what was once considered a "boring outfit combination." Nowadays, I find a sweater-and-jeans outfit to be way more interesting than it ever has been. We're still in the thick of a quiet-luxury redux, and that just inspires me to wear simple outfits that say more with fewer items.

Living in New York City, I'm surrounded by the best dressed people on a daily basis. Anywhere from my morning walk to a quick stop into a coffee shop, I'm finding myself inspired. In those spaces, I've been seeing New Yorkers style their jeans with these seven types of sweaters, and I'm determined to copy these looks ASAP.

1. Fitted Turtleneck

Lately, fashion people are all about layering up, and a fitted turtleneck is on everyone's shopping list. Whether you choose to pair it with a cool blazer or under your favorite sweater, the possibilities will be endless.

I promise you won't regret showing off some décolletage. Off-the-shoulder sweaters have had such a moment already this season, and it's only the beginning.

3. Asymmetry

The easiest way to show someone that you're a fashion girl is to wear an asymmetrical top. It's a bold way to make a statement, and when it's part of a good basic like this one, it's a must-have.

Throwing a sweater over your shoulders is always a good idea. For fashion people in New York, it's become a go-to look when strolling the neighborhood.

If you're not copying the Miu Miu runways, what are you doing? Showing a peek of a white T-shirt with a crew-neck is the layered look that we're all after thanks to what fashion designers have taught us.

Cardigans are a girl's best friend, especially when you're on the cusp of November. Whether you style them with shorts or an overworn pair of baggy jeans, you'll never regret buying into this trend.

Associate Editor

Sierra Mayhew was always destined to work in fashion, but she didn't know it at first. Growing up with no choice but to wear a rotation of school uniforms and activewear, her love for fashion really blossomed when she moved away for college and was able to finally define her very own personal style. Shortly thereafter, she interned at Elle magazine and instantly knew that editorial was for her. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she worked for ShopBazaar, contributing regularly to Bazaar.com, and finally made her way to Who What Wear, where she is an associate editor. When she’s not working, you can catch her always trying to catch a flight, rollerblading through New York City traffic, or exploring the latest luxury vintage boutique.
