As obnoxious as it seems to attach the prefix 'statement' to anything that's currently 'trendy', I cannot think of a better way to describe sweaters that just scream 'look at me'. The hype started with Kenzo's embroidered tiger, then the 'BOY LONDON' and 'comme des fuckdown' sweaters in 2012. In 2013 Cara Delevigne and teens alike sported fake brand-name sweaters. This year, inspired by Alexander Wang's semi-transparent 'Parental Advisory' T-shirts and Sweatshirts can be found at any High Street retailer. If you like, those cashmere knits and cotton jerseys are nothing but glamorised gym wear and there's no denying that gym apparel is incredibly comfortable- as long as you're not exercising in it. When I put on that perfectly worn-in sweatshirt on, I feel like wearing a safety-blanket. An easy way to dress down a miniskirt or denim cut-offs, or just to make an otherwise average outfit pop- don't underestimate the power of the statement sweater.
