Footwear: Opt for ankle boots in a light tan when wearing other pops of bright colours.
Accessories: An oversized soft tote bag in a colour you are not wearing works well.

Flared Jeans: Combine your graphic knit jumper with classic flared trousers and an oversized blazer for a more polished appearance. Choose more neutral colours to balance the bold coloured graphic.
Footwear: White block-heeled ankle boots will elevate the look.
Accessories: Add a gold handbag and minimal jewellery, like a watch or delicate bracelet, for a refined touch.
A funnel neck knit jumper will give you a chic and cosy look.

Shirt Underneath: Layer a collared shirt underneath your jumper, letting the collar, bottom and cuffs peek out for a preppy, stylish look.
Leather pants: Pair with your slim-leg vegan leather pants for a balanced, layered outfit.
Footwear: Light tan boots work well to contrast against the dark pants without repeating another colour in this ensemble.
Accessories: Coloured reading glasses work perfectly with such a classic neutral ensemble and a messenger bag completes the outfit.

Leather Skirt: Elevate your jumper by pairing it with a faux leather skirt.
Footwear: Heeled midi boots in a contrasting colour to last hem length add a touch of sophistication.
Accessories: Opt for a chunky bracelet, and a small cross-body bag.
Outfit Science:
Balance Proportions: If your graphic knit jumper is oversized and you are wearing it left out, pair it with more fitted bottoms to create a balanced silhouette.
Colour Coordination: Use the colours in your Coco e book to inform your choice of bottoms and other layering pieces that touch the knit.
Tuck or Leave Out: Tuck the front of your jumper into your jeans or skirt to define your waist and add structure to your outfit or leave it out for a more relaxed vibe.
Texture Play: Mix textures to add interest to your outfit. Pair your knit jumpers with materials like denim, leather, cotton, or silk.
By experimenting with these tips, you can style your knit jumpers in various ways to suit different occasions and express your personal style.
