				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From epic-proportion pants to the jumbo, sleeping-bag comfort of a cocoon coat, for AW12, bigger is seemingly better. And thankfully for those of us who like to raid our manfriend&#8217;s closet, the easiest oversized item to toss on this winter is&#8230; the sweater.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-27870" title="Oversize Sweaters" src="http://www.ruelala.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Unknown6.jpeg" alt="" width="640" height="640" /></p>
<p>We couldn&#8217;t agree more with the styling tips in this <a title="how to wear the oversize sweater" href="http://www.refinery29.com/oversized-sweaters" target="_blank">video post</a> from Refinery29 &#8211; the oversized sweater is a do, for work, play, and, above all else, comfort (which is absolutely necessary when you&#8217;re also wearing 5-inch stilletos). Here&#8217;s how we&#8217;re taking on the trend in the Rue offices:</p>
<p><strong>Size Up</strong> &#8211; While many designers are making sweaters extra large this season, try on both your regular size and one size larger. <em>Then</em> choose your desired level of slouchiness.</p>
<p><strong>Check Your Shoulders</strong> &#8211; A drop shoulder (one that falls a couple of inches below your natural shoulder line) is great &#8211; if the sweater is designed that way. Watch the shoulder seam if the garment is not designed with a drop shoulder &#8211; if you go too big and the seam creeps too low, you risk looking like you got swallowed by a loom.</p>
<p><strong>Style It</strong> &#8211; Try a collared shirt peeking out from the neckline. Wear it with skinnies and heels. Or show some leg and anchor it with a mini.</p>
<p><strong>Tuck</strong> &#8211; Not the whole sweater! Just a corner tucked up into the waist lends some shape when needed.</p>
<p><strong>And Roll</strong> &#8211; Try a jumbo sweater with sleeves that hit somewhere between the elbow and wrist. If the sleeves hit the wrists, roll or scrunch to show a little skin.</p>
<p>Now, for goodness&#8217; sake, get out there and get cozy.</p>
