When rapper T.I. was recently spotted at Nelly’s birthday party in ATL wearing this, I knew he was on to something. Not only is the Kaaang well coordinated but he’s also the first celeb so far that I’ve spotted this season wearing what’s sure to be a major style hit. The shawl-collar sweater is an alternative to the rigidness of a turtle-neck but still retains its purpose. The slightly exaggerated lapels of the collar can be worn up or down and is just barely draped around the neck without being too feminine. Depending on how its styled, it can work for both casual daytime looks on to VIP friendly night spots of your choice.
Fellas take note at how Tip was able to layer it over a dress shirt and also work in a matching fitted. This is a trend that needs to get started ASAP! For your convenience, I’ve done some internet browsing and found that some of our favorite designer labels are embracing the shawl collar as well. Peep some of the items below and let us know what you think!
