Make sure to snatch a statement sweater on your way out into that cold, unnerving weather. Instead of wearing the typical winter darks, we suggest you counteract the winter blues with some fun statement sweaters. It makes standing out in the cold a bit livelier, a bit brighter, and even a bit trendier. Trust us, a little bit goes a long way. Here are three suggestions on how to wear these fun statement sweaters that just might make you forget about the cold.

1. Depending on where you live, it may not be that cold (yes, while we Angelinos think 60 degrees is cold, it’s really not compared to New York weather)! So, why not opt for a cropped sweater? With its vibrant print and girlish pink color, this sweater will surely bring along some fun times. [Sweater by Free People, $47]

2. Think outside the box and go for a sweater dress. Pile on some warm leggings to complete the look! We love this striped sweater dress! Bonus: the black middle band acts as super cute “belt”. [Dress by Inc, $33]

3. A striped nordic print dress is a great winter piece. Without being too holiday-flashy, the complementary colors of cream, black and a hint of pink really makes this sweater dress look extra fab. [Sweater Dress by Jessica Simpson, $44]
