Short Sleeve Sweater For Now & Later

I love a piece that can be worn through multiple seasons. A short sleeve sweater is one of those, and today I will show you how to wear a fun casual top a few different ways. You will see that by layering and changing out your pants and shoes, one top can really do a lot more than you might think! Let’s see how to style a short sleeve sweater for now in the colder months, and later in the spring.

I recently picked up this cute striped short sleeve sweater from Amazon. I have shared a sweatshirt that is similar, but this fabric is more of a knit texture than a sweatshirt. It comes in over 20 color combinations in both solids and stripes. I went with the black and white stripe with red trim. It’s giving subtle spring vibes that I always crave in January!

I went with a size medium for a more relaxed fit. No need to size up unless you want it very oversized. Also it is slightly longer in the back, which I liked for styling with leggings.

Casual Outfit With Short Sleeve Sweater & Black Jeans

Outfit number one is for a warmer day. I’m loving this pair of black wide leg jeans by Sophia Vergara. They run true to size. The short sleeve striped sweater looks chic with black denim and my mesh Mary Jane flats. If you don’t have black denim, any wide leg black pants would also work.

Next, for an even more casual and comfortable look, consider pairing this top with your favorite leggings. I’m wearing an older pair of faux leather leggings from Target, and this pair is similar. I used to have a pair of the Spanx faux leather leggings, but I don’t think they are really worth the high price tag.

Long cardigans are not trending as much as shorter ones, however, with leggings and athletic looks I really like a long cardigan the best. Mine is old, but I will link something similar. Finish off with sneakers like these classic Adidas Sambas and you can easily duplicate this outift.

Short Sleeve Sweater & Blue Denim

The last outfit is something I would wear now and in spring. This pair of straight leg light wash denim is so good, and they are from Walmart! They are by Time and Tru and are under $20.

I also want to mention this waffle knit long cardigan from Amazon. This is a piece that I’ve only had for about a month, and I wear it almost every day! Not only does is look good with an outfit like this one, but I also wear it over my PJ’s as a robe, and I love lounging around the house in it.

It is naturally oversized, so no need to size up! I’m wearing a size small and it is very roomy. Check this link to see all the color choices.

Finally my shoes are from Target. I fell hard for the Mary Jane flats this year, and when I saw this little faux sherpa pair I had to have them! They run a little wide, but otherwise fit true to size.

I hope you enjoyed this little try on with the cutest short sleeve sweater. Enjoy this piece now and later with the tips I have shown you!
