It’s that time of year again where you’re sad to see summer go but weirdly excited about cooler weather. Not just for the sake of it but for the fall fashion and slipping into your fave cozy pieces again. I know I’m not the only one that’s been just waiting for the temperature to drop even a smidgen to have an excuse to unpack for fall. Luckily, things are cooling down in NYC and I was able to pick up these Novel Mart crew neck sweaters just in time. Novel Mart, a merch brand that offers Ivy-League-inspired sweaters and tees swopping out the school names with food and drink titles, has the coziest bits that I just know I’m going to be living in all season. And for that I wanted to show you three ways you can make the most out of your crew necks for the fall and up your cost-per-wear game. Get into how I style my sweaters from casual smart to WFH gear to cover a range of errands we all know all too well.
CASUAL SMART
With the work commute back in action and the world opening up again now is your time to bring your A+ 9-5 style. Pairing my crew neck with a classic white button down and some slacks makes the perfect way to re-emerge to the hustle and bustle of office life. If you’re looking to make a statement pair the look with some heels. And if you’re easing back into things wear it with some sneakers.

ERRAND-CASUAL
We all know how deflating that feeling of running to the store quickly underdressed and bumping into the whole wide world along the way feels. This fall we’re not doing that because errand-style doesn’t alway have to be shabby. Take it up a notch by pairing your crew neck sweaters with some sweat shorts and sneakers to keep the cozy vibe going. For the days that’s a bit chillier you, throw on some longer sweats to keep the coolness off.

WFH
Some of us still have the luxury of working from home but that doesn’t mean that we’re going to be lounging around in just anything. For your Zoom meetings and quick store runs throw on your crew neck with a pair of biker shorts that always look polished yet casual. For an extra sporty look or a bad hair day throw own a baseball cap to complete the look.
