Cozy Cardigans & Knits
Good cozy cardigans & knits, no fuss — easy to wear, easy to love.
The cardigan that makes jeans-and-a-tee look intentional. Fine-gauge knit with a denim trim, so it plays nice with everything you already reach for. Button it up as a top or leave it open over a tank.
Pilcro Denim Trim Fine Gauge Cardigan
A statement cardigan in a deep berry red that makes an outfit feel like fall the second you put it on. Runs generously through the sizes, and it's warm enough to skip a jacket most days.
Red Amore Forrest Cardigan
Sweet without trying too hard — the scalloped edge does the work while the waffle knit keeps it cozy. Throw it over a slip dress now and a turtleneck come October.
By Anthropologie Waffle-Knit Scalloped Cardigan
Real cashmere for well under what you'd expect, in a wear-with-everything crew. This is the one you'll grab on the cool mornings and forget you're even wearing by noon.
By Anthropologie Goldie 100% Cashmere Sweater
A ribbed knit with an off-shoulder tilt that reads a little more done-up than your usual sweater. Great with high-waisted denim when you want easy but not sloppy.
By Anthropologie Celia Asymmetric Ribbed Sweater
The layer you'll throw on over just about everything — cashmere, poncho-easy, zero fuss. Wear it with trousers for work or over a long-sleeve tee on the weekend.
By Anthropologie Enza 100% Cashmere Poncho Sweater Vest
Easy Fall Dresses
Easy Fall Dresses that just work — the kind you'll actually reach for.
A denim dress does the thinking for you — pull it on, add boots, done. This one has that lived-in AGOLDE wash that only looks better the more you wear it.
Harriet Dress in Term
That rich cocoa color is the whole reason to buy it — deep, warm, and impossible to look bad in. Wear it to a fall wedding or dress it down with a cardigan and flats.
Ava Dress in Cocoa
A floaty printed maxi that carries an outfit on its own — you just add sandals now, boots later. The kind of dress you'll pack for every trip through fall.
Estie Printed Maxi Dress in Yellow Floral
Chocolate brown and cut to actually flatter — the ruched waist does the shaping so you don't have to think about it. Great for dinner out while it's still warm.
Venya Hourglass Mini Dress in Chocolate
A high-low hem keeps this one interesting from every angle. Easy to wear to a party now and layer under a cardigan when things cool off.
Ivana High Low Mini Dress in Peppermint
Made to nip in at the waist and skim everywhere else, so it looks pulled-together with almost no effort. Add a blazer and it's instantly office-ready.
Karoline Hour Glass Mini Dress in Yellow Floral
Denim & Trousers
My current denim & trousers picks — polished, but make it effortless.
Barrel-leg jeans are the shape of the season, and the little embroidery keeps these from feeling basic. Roomy through the leg, easy with a fitted knit on top.
Dolce Vita Embroidered Denim Barrel Leg Jeans
Leopard reads as a neutral once you commit to it, promise. These barrel-leg jeans do all the talking — keep the rest of the outfit quiet and let them run the show.
Leopard Barrel Jeans
Velvet in a deep emerald is peak fall, and at this price you'll wear them straight into the holidays. Dress them up with heels or down with sneakers and a sweater.
Emerald Velvet Trousers
A relaxed trouser in warm chocolate that quietly upgrades a plain sweater. Wide through the leg and long enough to wear with a heel when you want the extra polish.
Chocolate and Blue Sun Trousers
A clean ecru jean is the fall alternative to your blue denim — softer, a little more grown-up. Goes with every knit and cardigan in this edit.
Ecru Jan Jeans
Wide-leg pants in a bold berry red that make a sweater-and-trousers day feel like a real outfit. High-waisted and long — they love a heel.
Red Amore Wide Leg Pants
