9 Things Fashion People Are Wearing With Sweaters (Besides Jeans)

Since Instagram remains one of the top sources for outfit inspiration these days, and winter is coming, I've been scrolling my feed in search of sweater outfit inspiration lately. And as fall carries on, I'm seeing more and more sweater styling ideas—aside from just wearing one with jeans.

For this sweater-styling roundup, I'm focusing on a handful of fresh items I keep seeing people around the world wear pair with their sweaters as of late. Yes, sweaters basically go with everything, but certain pairing trends just tend to catch on during sweater season each year. So let's discuss the ones that have already emerged.

Below, you'll find shoes, accessories, going-out pieces, and trousers that will make all of your sweaters look even better. Keep scrolling to shop the sweater-friendly trends and items before sweater season really kicks off. And just for fun, I also threw in a few of my favorite sweaters of the season.

Collared Shirts

Layering a collared shirt under a sweater is right in step with the preppy aesthetic that continues to be a trend. It's also a classic look that'll never go out of style.

Belts

Belts have been unequivocally back for a few years now, so it makes perfect sense that people are wearing them with sweaters. (If you want to put the belt on display, opt for a lightweight cashmere sweater that can easily be tucked in.)
