How to wear a Dolman sleeve sweater

 

Celebrities like Audrina Patridge, Vanessa Hudgens, Kate Hudson and Rebecca Gayheart have been spotted donning striped dolman sweaters. The dolman sleeve sweater gives you the warmth of a comfy knit with the trend of eastern-style drama. It bundles you in a snug cocoon when the mercury dips.
However, you will end up looking like a snowman if you wear it wrong, especially with a mismatched silhouette. Here are a few tippers on flaunting the dolman sweater, without compromising on your silhouette:

For women with broad shoulders

The dolman is a perfect pick for women with heavier upper arms and broad shoulders. You can add that much needed curve with the help of a statement belt, instead of going for the bundled style. A turtle neck works great with this look.

For petite women

Dolman sweaters can really swallow up petite women with shorter torsos. If you have a petite frame, stay avoid from the turtle neck. Go for drapey necks and chunky knits as they make you look slimmer. Create contrast with a long-sleeve, body-hugging tee inside to make you look taller. Always go for narrow-shaped bottoms or skinny denims.

For hour-glass and pear shaped women

Accentuate your curves with white sweater tunics style dolman sleeves. Remember sleeves are the central accessory to highlight your thin shoulders and take attention away from the bottom. Go for darker colored bottoms in straighter shapes to create a slimmer silhouette. It also helps to balance out the uneven proportions. You can flaunt horizontal stripes thanks to your leaner upper frame.
Apart from regular cardigan or pullover styles you can also check out dolman sweaters in-

• Wraps
• Jackets
• Long button cardigans or tunics

Do remember to pick a style that suits your body type and accentuates your best assets instead of downscaling them.
