A good sweater does most of the work in a fall outfit. Choose one knit with a detail you like, such as a print, a collar or an interesting sleeve, then keep the rest simple: a pant or skirt with a clear shape, a pair of boots, and a cardigan for when the temperature drops.
Let a print sweater lead
The Kalahari Fuzzy Sweater pairs a leopard print with colorblock trim, a fuzzy texture and a relaxed drop shoulder. Because the print is the focal point, wear it with a solid bottom such as The Marlow High Waist Pant in black, camel or mocha. The Marlow has a wide leg and a 29-inch inseam across the size range, so check the length against the shoes you plan to wear.
Choose a sleeve or collar detail for a polished look
The Bishop Button Cuff Sweater has gathered bishop sleeves, buttoned cuffs and raglan construction for room through the shoulder. In camel or white, it works for the office as easily as for weekends. Tuck the front into a high-waisted pant to show your waist and let the sleeves stay full.
The Domino Collared Sweater pairs a polka dot knit with a contrast collar and a V-neck. The collar already reads like a layered shirt, so you can skip the extra layer and add simple earrings instead.
Wear a tunic sweater with leggings
The Jacquard Rose Tunic Sweater has a jacquard rose pattern, a mock neck and a tunic length that is long enough to wear over leggings. Add ankle boots for a comfortable outfit you can wear all day.
For a slimmer layer, the Half Zip Long Sleeve Knit Top is a ribbed knit with a stand collar and zipper, in army green, black, blue, burgundy, pink and khaki, sizes S to 2XL.
Add a cardigan you can take off
Cardigans are the easiest way to handle warm afternoons. The Clover Fine Knit Midi Cardigan is a red, midi-length fine knit with pockets. Wear it open over a neutral sweater so the color stands out. The Cozy Knit Open Front Cardigan is an ivory chunky-stitch knit with pockets that goes over almost any color.
Finish with the right boot
- With flare jeans: The Signal Panel Flare Jean has a long inseam designed to stack over boots. Pair it with the Lace-Up Buckle Chunky Heel Ankle Boots for extra height.
- With a mini skirt: The Blaze Western Mini Skirt has flame embroidery along both sides. Add the Western Star Embroidered Cowboy Boots, which have a low heel and come in eight colors.
- For a casual day: The Fuzzy Trim Lace-Up Ankle Boots are flat with a fuzzy trim, and work with leggings or cropped pants.
Check sizing before you order
Relaxed and drop-shoulder sweaters are meant to look roomy, so compare the bust and length with a sweater you already own rather than sizing up out of habit. For boots, the product pages list the foot length for each size, which is more reliable than the size number alone.
