Warm Weather Woolies

Say goodbye to the chunky sweaters of this past winter and make room for the sultry, lightweight knits that are just right for spring. They’ll come in handy during these lingering cool temps and for all the indoor air conditioning ubiquitous in the depths of summer. This season’s knits are cozy but sheer and never bulky, with cropped, tissue-light styles and ultra-large weaves ideal for layering or showing a hint of skin.

1. Rag & Bone Open Knit Sweater, $275, available at net-a-porter.com
2. Cable Knit Sweater T, $82, available at American Apparel
3. Ruffle Cardigan, $29, available at Joe Fresh
4. Loose Knit Sweater, $64, available from Kensie
5. Kara Mesh Sweater Top, $148, available at BCBG Max Azria
6. Cropped Sweater, $85, available at Aritzia

Snuggle Up

Snuggle up in style this fall and winter with chunky knits and fuzzy sweaters. This season is all about unique shapes, bold details and a touch of retro. Personally, I am craving 90s grunge-inspired sweaters à la Alexander Wang – loose knits, slashed sleeves and holes galore. Add these killer sweaters to your fall wish list:

1. Who knew that faux fur could feel so luxurious? Not to mention that the look is so on trend for fall. Motel Polar Fuzz Cardi ($110), available at NASTY GAL.
2. A unique cut and bold details give a simple black cardigan a modern twist. Jan Ahlgren Tassel Cardigan ($364), at OAK NYC.
3. The sweater coat is the ultimate must-have item of the season. TNA Sweater Coat ($165), available at Aritzia.
4. A knitted sweater vest is a versatile piece that compliments an array of looks. IMPROVD Cross Front Knit Cardi ($275), available at Revolve Clothing.
5. Pom poms, braided knits and unconventional elements give your ensemble a cool retro feel. ASOS Premium Twist Yarn Pom Pom Sweater ($68), at ASOS.
6. Bell sleeves and oversized shapes are great for layering. Pair this style with a long sleeve blouse and slim bottoms to balance out the look. Zara Oversized Two-Tone Jacquard Jacket ($95.90), at Zara.
