Fall’s best sweaters

There’s nothing quite as cozy as a sweater in the fall! What’s the best part about the latest fall sweaters? They not only keep you warm during the cooler months, but they can also help you step up your style game. Break out the sweaters you stored away for summer or enrich your wardrobe with a few new pieces. Here are fall’s best sweaters:

Blanket sweaters

These timeless pieces never go out of style, and for good reason. Blanket sweaters are long, typically falling below the knee and even all the way down to the ankles. They provide enough coverage and warmth to get you through the chilliest of fall seasons. The best feature of these sweaters is their versatility. Since they are long enough to hide your bottom, you can comfortably wear blanket sweaters with leggings or stretch jeans.

The long length isn’t just good for coverage – it can also make your body shape look long and lean. The eyes naturally travel down the vertical shape of this piece, allowing your body to appear taller and slimmer. Get this garb in fun fall colors such as merlot or aubergine.

Chunky knit sweaters

Reminiscent of a sweater stitched together by grandma, today’s chunky knit sweaters incorporate all the elements of nostalgia, warmth and style you love. Whether you opt for a longer sweater that falls below the waist or even one that fits like a knit top, you definitely want to have these fall staples in your wardrobe. Thick, knit sweaters are perfect for a day at the office or an afternoon out shopping on the weekends, and they can play up a relaxed style. Pair these items with a cross-body bag to further enhance the cozy feel of this look.

Ruffle sweaters

Texture is key to achieving visual interest in your style, and ruffles are an easy and trendy way to enhance your look. When looking for fall sweaters, make sure you select items that incorporate this fun feature. Ruffles, especially when placed vertically on a sweater, can help draw attention to certain areas of your body and reshape your figure. For example, ruffles that extend from the neck all the way to the bottom of the sweater will move the eyes up and down, making your figure look long and lean.

Forget about blending into the background this fall. The textured look of ruffles will make your style stand out. You can feel even more confident when all eyes are on you this season by wearing trendy hues such as mustard yellow or merlot. Dress up your look with bold fashion accessories that bring out these shades.

Neutral cardigans

Cardigans are lightweight, making them a perfect item for wearing in a cool office or out on a sunny fall day. Neutral cardigans, such as those in gray, black, beige or cream colors, provide that extra warmth without being too overbearing. The subtle pieces let you showcase your personality with accessories instead. Dress up your cardigan with bold pendants, dangling earrings or dazzling bracelets.

    What long sweater is best for those of us who are not long-legged models as in your catalog?

      Any long sweater can work for a petite or shorter woman. It works better if you’re able to wear some heels if possible? Thanks for your interest in this fun trend! Try it out!
