The Perfect Chillaholic Sweater for Your Body Type

Theres nothing better than the perfect cozy sweater to pair with your favourite jeans in the cold weather. Everyone loves having their go-to look that they can always count on to look chic and stay comfortable. Here are LUXaholics favourite Chillaholic sweaters that will compliment body types of all shapes.

Apple (Carries majority of the weight on top)
The Rebecca Sweater's flowy top is shape complimenting without the clingy fabric. The fitted waist will draw attention to your lower half and focus on the killer dark denim you can pair with the sweater.

Pear (Heavier on the bottom and slimmer from the waist up)

Give the GUESS Eternal Cowl Sweater a try. The scarf and heavy neckline detailing will draw the eye upward balancing the weight of the body out. Attention can be brought to your smaller waistline and the dark colour is slimming.


Rectangle(slim with an undefined waistline)&Hourglass (same width at shoulders and hips)

The rectangle shape tends to be very tall and slim but the same width throughout the shoulders, waist and hips. Define your waistline and give the hourglass illusion with the Vamp Coccoon Sweater's leather tie belt.
With the natural waistline of the hourglass shape, the tie belt of the Coccoon sweater will accentuate all the right places. If the sweater is too baggy the hourglass's defined waist is lost in the material, which is why the Vamp Coccoon sweater is perfect!

Denim Drive for Harmony!

A huge thank you for all participants of the LUX Denim Drive!!!

For two weeks, LUX Butik hosted a Denim Drive at the store in Sarnia to raise jeans for the local youth organization- Harmony For Youth. By bringing in a pair of old denim to donate, a 25% discount was given on a new pair from LUX.

Harmony For Youth is an International organization of volunteers committed to helping youth in the Sarnia community. Volunteers offer students tutoring, help with homework and mentoring and provide social programs to build social skills and all around well being. It's a great place for youth of different backgrounds to come together and celebrate their differences!

We loved working with you to help our community. Thank you so much to everyone who participated. In total, over 50 pairs of jeans were brought in during the two weeks to donate to Harmony For Youth- amazing!!
