Cable knit sweaters are a classic wardrobe component and chances are you probably have a few stashed somewhere in your closet. You may think of this staple as dull or bland, but it turns out there are several different fashionable ways to style a cable knit sweater. Have fun shopping your closet to create 3 new outfits with this beautiful basic. Here's how:
LOOK 1 : Cable knit sweaters are definitely made to be worn with more than just denim! Pair the conservative sweater with a flirty skirt. Try faux leather, pleats or a fun print. Try a longer hemline for the office and a shorter version for date night.
