Here are some ideas to experiment with when wearing your Aran sweaters for a great range of stylish, elegant looks.

Keep it Simple

The classic Aran style is so distinctive that if you simply match it with a pair of your favourite jeans, you’ll get a look that is easy, practical and stylish. The benefits of the natural woollen fibres mean you don’t have to worry about being sweaty and uncomfortable or getting wet. You can simply put this outfit together and get on with your day, knowing that you look stylish, yet it’s a great choice of practical clothing.

Mix and Match With Other Textures

Matching your sweater with either denim jeans or a leather jacket will give a great classic combination of clothes that look good together. The plain texture of the leather contrasts with the rugged textures of the Aran wool for a look where the two textiles complement each other in their contrasting looks. Again, it’s a look that’s both stylish and practical, with the wool and leather fabrics adding layers for warmth and protection from the cold and wet elements.

Experiment with Different Styles

You can choose an Aran sweater in a range of different styles and garments. Take a look at Shamrockgift.com for a great choice of sweaters with options such as round necks, shawl necks, hoods, zips, chunky wooden buttons, sleeveless, cardigans, sweaters, waistcoats, and pockets.

Depending on the style you choose, you can use a lower layer that is either a rugged checked collared shirt or a round-necked tee that can complement your sweater or be hidden from view so as not to detract from the intricacies of the knitted patterns. Be careful with the colour schemes; a light-coloured sweater should be paired with dark trousers or skirts whilst lighter trousers should be matched with dark sweaters.

Choose a Timeless Classic

There’s even more choice of styles for ladies, with poncho styles and outer coats to choose from in the range. The simple act of adding this staple to your wardrobe means you have the finishing touch for any outfit.
