For example, If you are a small, shoot for buying a size large to achieve this look. Pair with a fanny pack or small backpack, along with chunky sneakers and look effortlessly put together.

This look will have everyone on the streets staring…in a good way! Achieve this look by pairing a thin, neutral colored turtleneck under a jacket. The key to getting this look is finding a turtleneck with THIN sleeves. If the turtleneck sweater has thick sleeves, it might not be able to fit under a jacket, or extremely restrict your range of motion. Also, the thinner material will keep you warm while avoiding getting TOO hot under a thick jacket. Mixing and layering neutral colors is always a good idea, but don’t let this stop you from pairing together bright colors that will make your outfit pop among a crowd.
