Sweater Season

Finally, it is time to take all of that tanned skin off of display and encase it in something seriously snuggly. Here on the east coast, the emergence of autumn is basically a foghorn sounding- as soon as the first orange leaf falls, the population mobilizes all things pumpkin, apple, and their fall wardrobes. Gone are shorts and flip-flops, and as eager as we all were to greet them on the other side of a dismal spring, we are more than happy to pack them away in favor of boots, jeans, and sweaters. Ah yes, the sweater. It is an official season, don’t you know- finally time to relax, and wrap yourself up in warm wools or luxurious cashmere. With zero risk of breaking a sweat, sweater season is a welcome break from a steamy summer. The sunshine is the same, but lower temperatures and a brisk bite in the air are perfect conditions for cardigans, pullovers or whatever you want to cozy yourself up in. Here is our round-up of a few updates on classic sweaters that we are sure will feel as good as they look. Wrap up and enjoy.

• Fairbanks Sweater

  

  Oh right- dudes wear sweaters, too. Gain some major brownie points by hooking up the fashion-challenged man in your life (father, husband, yourself, etc.) with a sweater that is as hearty and warm as it is stylish. The North Face makes clothing for adventurers, but so what if your guy is an accountant? Every man wants to feel a little bit dashing, and the Fairbanks sweater will make him feel like a bush pilot on layover.

• CeCe Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater

  

  Cashmere is always a sweater season must-have, and in a deep jewel tone like this striking amethyst, it is the perfect marriage of luxury and looks. We love the flared hem that adds some whimsy and updates an otherwise traditional turtleneck sweater.

  Color-blocked cashmere is the best of both worlds; you look great and you feel really great. An infusion of color keeps this classic sweater current, and did we mention the cashmere part? Cashmere is always the right choice.

• Blanket Wrap Cardi

  

  Wrap yourself up in a bold print that will liven up any dreary fall day. A blanket cardigan just sounds totally snuggly and awesome, but the best part about this one from Asos is you won’t look like you are literally wrapped up in a bulky afghan. A dipped hemline and relaxed cut keep this sweater looking as good as it feels.
