Sweater Season

     As the months from summer pass by, the temperature drops along with them. Your tank tops and shorts start to turn longer and heavier. Before you know it you are bringing out your winter clothes and putting those light and flowy summer clothes away for next year. The typical winter clothes you usually bring out are your numerous amounts of blue, black, grey, whatever color of jeans. You will also see sweatshirts, long sleeve shirts, fuzzy socks, scarves and boots come out. The most common item of clothing you generally see in the more November and December months, are sweaters.

     Your sweater collection can range from nice looking, soft material sweaters, or chunky knit and sometimes the traditional turtle neck sweaters. As a kid, I had two turtle neck sweaters and they were definitely my favorite items of clothing. As I grew up though, turtle neck sweaters started to disappear because it was more for grandmas, I guess, but thankfully turtle neck sweaters are coming back.

     Another sweater that is common/traditional is the famous ugly sweater. Ugly sweaters have always been a thing, thanks to ugly sweater party themes. Around Christmas time, people will throw Christmas parties and sometimes the theme is wear your ugliest sweater. Actually right now as I am typing this,  I have an ugly sweater because at my school it is ugly sweater day. Anyways, ugly sweaters can be just random Christmas items thrown onto a plain sweater, it could also have an ugly knit pattern, or you can make one yourself and pin someone's face on it that you don't like.

     A sweater that is starting to become popular, is the light up sweater. I have always seen people with maybe reflecting colors on their sweater, but people have really stepped up their game. I have seen sweaters with a house on it and then out of no where, the string lights will light up and start to flash. Also, I have seen like little jingle bells connected to the lights. Those people definitely have their sweater game together.

     It is a sad time when the warm weather comes to a close but one once you realize all of the clothes you get to wear now, it makes winter a little easier to bear. You can have so many options when it comes to sweaters to wear. You can wear pretty sweaters or you can wear the warmest, comfiest sweater. My style of sweater is definitely the warm chunky knitted sweaters.
