If you want to add a versatile piece to your wardrobe, consider purchasing a wrap sweater. Although you can wear your wrap sweater open, you'll probably want to wrap the long edges around your body and tie them in place. Depending on how you tie your wrap sweater, you can achieve a number of different looks.

Front Tie Method

If you want to create the look of a cropped sweater, tie the two sides of the sweater just under your bust. To tie a sweater wrap in this fashion, grab the left side of the sweater in your left hand and the right side of the sweater in your other hand. Cross the right side over the left side. You can secure the sweater in place with a simple knot right below the center of your bust. Simply lift up the left side and slide it under the sweater's two overlapped layers.

Back Tie Method

You don't have to tie your wrap sweater at the center front. You can also tie the two ends of the sweater together at the small of your back. Tying your wrap sweater in this fashion will provide you with a little more coverage and is ideal for slightly chillier weather. To tie your sweater in this manner, overlap the right and left sides of your wrap sweater in the front, and pull them around to meet at the small of your back and tie to secure the sweater in place.

Side Tie Method

If you don't want a knot sitting right at the center of your back, but you would like to tie your wrap sweater in a manner that provides good coverage, try tying the sweater at your right or left side. You can easily create this look; just overlap the sweater's right and left sides at the front, wrap one piece of the sweater all the way around your back and wrap the other piece just across your front. Tie the sweater at your side to secure the wrap in place.
