Sweater Weather!

It turns out that the tragic Christmas gift you received from grandma last year is way cooler than you thought. The new fall/winter trend is about chunky sweaters in funky colours and patterns, as seen on the runways at Céline, Givenchy, Carven, Jil Sander, Joe Fresh and Proenza Schouler. Don’t be afraid to get a little quirky when it comes to your knits. Think bold, crazy prints, Fair Isle, animalia and bursts of colour for a look that keeps you warm and stylish when the weather is dark and dreary. For a flattering silhouette, pair your sweater with skinny jeans and your favourite cold weather booties.

Printed Silk Pants

While the catwalks are great places to source outfit ideas and spot trends the sidewalks are equally inspiring. During the Spring 2012 fashion shows, it seemed all the top editors, buyers and bloggers (save the always staid Anna Wintour) were seen sporting luxe printed wide leg trousers. While the pants – in silk, jacquard and satin – were seen on the Celine, Dries Van Noten and Ralph Lauren runways, it seems the style set chose the death throes of summer and the first crisp days of fall to sport these long, billowy pyjama pants. Both comfort and style in one chic package? I’m in.

Whether you’re looking for a dramatic pair of printed pants or would like something a little less conspicuous (à la vintage pyjama pant) we’ve got options for you. Happy shopping!
