Alpine Sweater by Topshop

With the arrival of winter, the fast fashion companies rushed to implement the alpine pullover, as proven by their recurring appearances in the windows of H&M, Zara et al. This winter, it will be difficult to pass up these mountaineer woolens when it comes to stocking our closets.

Initiated by Rag&Bone and D&G, the attempt to make these pullovers (usually reserved for ski resorts) fashionable enough to penetrate the urban trend was carefully observed, as some doubted their somewhat naïve motifs.

However, the fast retailers, addicted to catwalk trends, could not prevent themselves from adding massive quantities of snowflakes to their lookbooks for the season; thus, the legitimacy of a pullover decorated with moose and snowflakes was established.

This being said, given that this infatuation for the alpine sweater is destined to disappear as quickly as it arrived, investing in a cashmere piece that risks being outdated in barely 6 months is to be avoided. Rather than choosing a superior quality knit, it would be better to go for a pullover with lighthearted, funky motifs instead.

However, for those of you who might have overloaded on camel, be careful that in your efforts to eliminate this excess not to go for a multi-colored sweater. The idea is to keep a minimum of allure by preferring a piece in one of the en vogue colors, i.e., bordeaux, navy blue, or caramel.

With its Christmas reindeer on a burgundy background, its cozy format and easy price, this Topshop pullover seems to have everything needed to add a touch of lightness and youth to a 30-something, unconditional fan of Dolce Gabbana humor. In practice, it can be worn with a pair of above the ankle, raw slim jeans, a pair of cappuccino, lace-up heeled low boots, a navy blue duffel coat and a Mulberry Bayswater bag; or a pair of Cheap Monday leggings, a masculine ¾ coat, a slightly long, light blue denim shirt, and a pair of black Martin Margiela boots.
