It’s finally time to throw those t-shirts in storage and those tank tops under your bed. Replenish your closets with cozy knits and worn-in chambrays, while your floors become lined with riding boots and ankle lace-ups. The evolution of the fall wardrobe is a constant one that incorporates new patterns and trends each season. This year will be no exception, so check out a few styles of sweaters to keep you looking effortlessly chic.
Forever 21:
Forever21 is focusing on tackling two trends at once this fall: knitwear and stripes/color blocked sections. The look is trendy, while still minimalist enough to pair with a thick, neutral-colored scarf. Toss on some leggings and your favorite pair of riding boots, and you’ve got a look that’s more “girl-next-door” than “girl-by-the-sea.” Here’s a tip: If your sweater is bright and fun, don’t let your boots detract from it! Keeping your boots dark makes the color the focus, and wearing black boots with black leggings will lengthen your legs. At the end of the day, you’ll look taller and get compliments on your fabulous sweater. You can’t do much better than that!
Sweater One: $17.80
Sweater Two: $24.80
Sweater Three: $22.80
Francesca’s:
Francesca’s is also embracing the horizontal strips trend by incorporating bright colors and gauzy knits into its new fall collection. While Forever 21 focused on the bold sweater, Francesca’s is opting to pair colored jeans and chunky jewelry with its knits to pull together a look that makes a statement while still retaining the comfort we all need in college. Try pairing sweaters in mint or lilac with black jeans, and basic colors like white, navy, or even bright yellow for red jeans. Taking risks can be done in the fall too!
Sweater One: $38.00
Sweater Two: $48.00
Sweater Three: $38.00
Anthropologie:
At Anthropologie, it’s all about the patterned cardigan. Layered over a basic t-shirt, a lace cami, or even a striped tank, you can make a sweet and eclectic fashion statement without losing warmth. If you’re not keen on the bold idea, keep the color on the inside by pairing a bright layer underneath with a neutral, chunky cardigan. But for all of the risk takers out there, there are plenty of printed, punchy cardigan options to make you stand out amongst the college crowds. A pair of crisp denim jeans (preferably dark wash) and a simple necklace will complete a sophisticated and chic look, making these sweaters worth the splurge.
Sweater One: $188.00
Sweater Two: $248.00
Sweater Three: $148.00
Whether you’re looking for a simple knit to wear with a bright scarf or a sweater that will attract all the attention, the range of available options is seemingly limitless, allowing each and every one of you to convey your own style this fall. See you on the sweater side!
