How To Wear A Boyfriend Sweater

What to look for: The ideal boyfriend sweater is long enough so you can tuck part of the front in {if you want} and loose enough that it hangs off your body.
Neckline: If possible, choose a v-neck. A bit of exposed skin will give it a feminine look.
Proportions: Pair your boyfriend sweater with fitted bottoms. Think skinny jeans or a pencil skirt. If you want to amp it up a bit pair them with some leather skinnies.
Height: Add height with heels or wedges. The sweater is so long it may make you look shorter so I suggest if you want to wear boots pick ankle boots and leave a bit of skin exposed between them and your jeans. The exposed skin will leave a break and naturally add height. Making you appear taller.

That sweater is so cute and thanks for sharing your tips! I love over sized sweaters because they always seem to be the comfiest.

Love this look! I totally agree that if the sweater is long you need to add height with heels!
