Hey, Style Slayers — Happy Moda Monday!
Welcome Inside the Closet! In this edition, we’re sharing 1 quest, 2 tips, and 3 looks to help you embrace your unique style superpowers — Let’s step in! 👇
1 Quest for you to try
This week, you are leaning into the warmth and whimsy of knits, with a fashionable twist! Winter is the perfect season to embrace the cozy charm of knitwear, but it doesn’t have to be all about the basics! Whether you’re layering up for warmth or making a statement with bold textures and patterns, knits are endlessly versatile. Let’s explore how to make them playful, stylish, and uniquely you. This week, you’ll create an outfit centered around a knit piece you love, but remix it in an unexpected way!
How to participate
- Choose: Select your star knit ( be it a sweater, dress, sweater dress, or cardigan).
- Create: Combine with different types of items for a touch of the unexpected. For example, you could layer an oversized sweater over a flowy maxi dress, or pair a chunky cardigan with a nerdy graphic tee and wide-leg pants. Even lean into a dark academia look with a sweater vest, plaid print pants, and a tweed blazer.
- Capture: Share a photo of your outfit in your favorite cozy spot (bonus points for book stacks, hot cocoa, or snowy backdrops)! Tag us using #VostraModaQuest, or reply to this email with your entry.

2 Tips to help you slay
For this week’s quest, I’ve chosen my favorite oversized teal sweater. I love the color of this item as it pairs nicely with neutrals for a simple style but also prints if I want to make more of a statement with my look. Not to mention it layers with items like flowy maxi skirts just as nicely as casual denim. And you all know how much I love a versatile piece!
— But what if you need a new sweater for the season? Why not explore the magic of secondhand stores when it comes to finding unique knitwear? With a little patience, you can uncover one-of-a-kind pieces that add charm and personality to your winter wardrobe.
Our style suggestions
- When thrifting for new-to-you knits make sure to look for quality fabrics: Scan tags or feel for wool, cashmere, alpaca, or high-quality cotton blends. These last longer and feel luxurious.
Avoid knits with excessive pilling, unless you’re up for some TLC with a fabric shaver! - Explore statement sweaters and go bold with a knit that showcases your personality! Think oversized sweaters with Fair Isle patterns, chunky cable knits in vibrant colors, or fandom-themed designs. Bonus style tip: Add a belt to define your waist when wearing oversized sweaters for a polished silhouette.
