Maud Parys is a fashion stylist based between Paris & Bordeaux.
Her free approach to style blends instinct, color, and attention to detail. Using contrasts, prints, and accessories to transform basics into looks with personality.
Sweater weather is officially here, which means it's time for your favorite knitwear to shine.
After showing us how to reinvent the classic white shirt, French fashion influencer and stylist Maud Parys is back with five ways to style one sweater.
Maud brings each look to life with one of her favorite Poète fragrances: Ballet. Now available in Wool Refresh, our newest Clothing Spritz™ for sweaters, coats, knitwear, and more. ♡
1. Fall is officially layer season
Slip a button-down shirt under your sweater. Let the collar, cuffs and hem peek out – and let the crisp, structured shirt play against the soft, fluffy mohair.
Take a cue from Maud and experiment with different shades of the same color. Her pale pink-on-pink combination shows just how striking ‘subtle’ can be.
Add a layer of fragrance to your look with a spritz of Wool Refresh: perfect for giving your favorite sweaters, knitwear, and coats a little je ne sais quoi.
2. Transformed in a cinch
A simple belt gives your sweater a whole new silhouette. Maud pairs hers with flowing, wide-leg trousers, creating a beautiful balance between definition and volume.
Choose a belt with an interesting texture or distinctive buckle, to give the outfit even more shape and character.
3. Put a ring on it
This is one of our favorite Maud tricks. Instead of tying your silk scarf in a knot, use a statement ring to gather the fabric at the front of your neck.
The ring becomes the centerpiece, adding an unexpected touch, and reinventing two accessories you already own.
4. The blazer effect
Dress up your sweater with a tailored blazer over your shoulders, for a look that says ‘sophisticated, but not stuffy.’
Maud adds a silk scarf around the waist as the finishing touch, bringing the outfit movement and just a hint of pattern. Cozy knitwear, sharp tailoring and flowing silk? We’re all in.
5. Why stop at one statement?
Sometimes, more really is more. Why choose just one statement piece?
Maud pairs her fluffy mohair sweater with chunky gold chains, sculptural cuffs, statement gold earrings and bold rings. The contrast is irresistible: delicate, airy knitwear against striking, sculptural gold.
Keep the clothing simple, layer the pieces you love, and let your jewelry take center stage.
