1 Sweater, 3 Looks: The Kohl’s Pullover That Can Do It All
Have you ever fallen in love with a sweater but struggled to style it beyond simple jeans and boots? That stops today!
The secret to maximizing your budget and truly getting bang for your buck is finding one star piece that can transform across different occasions. That’s why my amazing daughter-in-law, Stephanie, is walking us through how she styled a gorgeous Pullover Sweater in three completely different ways, all with affordable pieces from Kohl’s!
This sweater is a winner because its soft knit is comfortable, but the scattered pearl detailing adds a touch of polish that instantly elevates every look. Follow along for three complete outfit ideas, from polished professional to feminine date night.
Look 1: Effortless Date Night Glamour
Switching things up completely, this outfit transforms the sweater into a feminine, flirty piece. By simply swapping the bottoms for a slip skirt and completely tucking the sweater in, you get a beautiful outfit that feels chic and put-together for a date night or girls’ night out.
The Outfit Breakdown
- The Pullover Sweater: This time, it’s fully tucked into the skirt to create a beautiful, smooth line that highlights the waist. The soft knit provides a great contrast against the silky texture of the skirt.
- The Midi Slip Skirt: A slip skirt is a wardrobe MVP! It’s luxurious-looking, travels well, and pairs with everything from t-shirts to heels. It instantly makes any top feel more dressed up.
- The Sling Back Heels: Repeating the sling-back heels here proves their versatility. They offer height and structure without competing with the fluid movement of the skirt.
Look 2: Polished and Professional for the Office
This is the ultimate example of the sweater’s versatility. Paired with wide-leg trousers, the look is instantly sophisticated, comfortable, and perfect for a professional setting. The simple color combination (creamy white and black) keeps the focus on the luxurious textures and clean lines.
The Outfit Breakdown
- The Pullover Sweater: Worn neatly, untucked over the black trousers, the fit is comfortable yet appropriate for the workplace. The pearl details add interest without needing a necklace.
- The Wide Leg Pants: A comfortable, high-waisted black pair of trousers is an office essential. The wide-leg style looks professional and modern, moving away from overly tight or structured pants.
- The Mary Jane Pumps: Mary Jane pumps are having a major moment! The low block heel and classic strap add a comfortable yet classic, vintage-inspired touch that finishes this polished look perfectly.
Look 3: Modern Chic Weekend Style
This look is perfect for weekend brunches, shopping trips, or any casual outing where you want to look intentional and on-trend without sacrificing comfort. The sweater is tucked in slightly to define the waist, creating a balanced and modern silhouette.
The Outfit Breakdown
- The Pullover Sweater: Worn slightly relaxed and untucked at the back, this piece brings instant texture and polish. The pearls catch the light and make this simple layering piece feel elevated.
- The Wide Leg Cropped Pants: Investing in wide-leg cropped denim is the easiest way to update your style this season. The dark rinse wash is versatile, and the wide-leg cut keeps the outfit feeling modern and casual.
- The Sling Back Heels: These sling-back heels add a fun, preppy touch that is comfortable enough to walk in while still looking dressy. The pointed toe gives a lengthening effect that works well with the cropped pants.
5 Quick Tips for Maximizing Sweater Versatility
- Try the Half-Tuck: For casual looks (like Look 1), tuck only the front 2-3 inches of the sweater into your pants or skirt. This defines your waistline without making it feel stiff.
- Layer Smartly: When wearing a sweater under a blazer or jacket, choose a fine-gauge knit (like this one) to avoid bulkiness under your arms and ensure smooth lines.
- Contrast Textures: Pair soft knits (the sweater) with structured fabrics (denim) or silky fabrics (slip skirt) to add depth and visual interest, instantly making your outfit look more expensive.
- Use Accessories as Mood Changers: A statement necklace can transform the sweater for a night out, while delicate earrings keep it polished for the day. Let your accessories do the heavy lifting!
- Check Your Hemlines: For cropped bottoms (like Look 1), ensure your shoe choice, a pump, bootie, or flat, hits the ankle at a flattering point to maintain the elongated line.
Final Thoughts: The Value of Versatility
As Stephanie’s try-on clearly shows, you don’t need a closet full of expensive items; you just need a few key pieces that can be styled in multiple ways. This Nine West Cozy Pearl Pullover is a perfect example of how one affordable piece from Kohl’s can effortlessly transition you from a casual weekend coffee run to a formal work environment.

Found it! Love the sweater dressed up and down. Cute post.
Love the sweater with wide leg pants.
☺️
🙂 Found it! I like Stephanie in look 3. Love the pearl sweater & jeans.
I think your dtr-in-law is beautiful and looks great in the clothes she chooses….however, if she could speak a little louder and a little slower, so it would carry more clearly over internet.
She probably doesn’t talk very loud since she is in a dressing room and doesn’t want to disturb others.
Great post! Love the concept of versatility. One top, 3 bottoms, for 3 very different looks! 🙂
😀 the sweater styled three ways is so pretty
🙂 This cute sweater looks great all three ways. I love a sweater with some embellishment.
Love all 3 looks with that sweater! Might have to look into the Vera Wang pants and Lauren Conrad wide-leg cropped pants!
😊Great outfits, thanks Stephanie
🙂 Very versatile sweater.. just my thing!
