The Knit Dress: pictured here in pumpkin and blood orange, it is also featured in mustard, olive, rose and teal. The swing of the skirt makes for a figure-flattering knit dress that is sure to turn heads while emphasizing the waist. The length hits a few inches above the knee, making it a perfect way to show off your legs with opaque tights during the Autumn and Winter months.

Style Notes for the Knit Dress:

1. Bold scarlet hues were a hit on the Fall/Winter runways, so reach outside your comfort zone and choose a vibrant color like the blood orange. Purchase the olive for when you need a neutral option. You can’t have too much of a good thing!

2. The ladylike silhouette of the peplum made a major comeback during the Fall shows. The knit dress from Benetton is the key piece needed to help ease you into the trend. The swing of the skirt is a perfect nod to the more 1930’s-inspired peplum that might seem a little too nostalgic for today’s modern girl. Accentuate your curves by adding a skinny belt to your natural waist. Don’t be afraid to take a leap and choose a skinny belt in a contrasting color. Accessorizing with offbeat yet complimentary colors will get you noticed for your fashionable flair.

The Knit Scarf: above in lime with touches of periwinkle and safety orange, this nubby knit is alternately available in a lilac hue. The vibrant blend of colors and textures allows you to add flavor to any ensemble.

Style Notes for the Knit Scarf:

1. Since scarves are always slung around one’s face, make sure to choose the color that best compliments your skin tone. The lime option looks best on someone with a lighter complexion and red undertones as it diminishes the ruddy color by contrasting with it. The lilac is best for olive skin tones and will make the skin glow and pop.

2. The trend of creating monochromatic outfits has expanded outside of the neutral zone. Above you will see the lime scarf paired with the lime cable knit. This is a great way to streamline the look of your ensemble while embracing color at the same time.

The Cable knit: above in lime comes in an assortment of colors including the neutrals black and cream. The loose weave of this particular cable knit allows for some interesting styling techniques that work effortlessly with Autumn’s emerging trends.

Style Notes for the Cable Knit:

1. Pair the loose cable knit with a crisp button down to add structure to the overall look. Button the top button of the shirt to give a polished and modern appearance.

2. Since the appearance of the sweater is rather boxy, make sure the bottom half of the look slims the figure. Try a cropped slim leg trouser or a short paired with opaque tights and heels. A general rule is to always balance proportions. If you’re wearing something boxy and loose fitting on one half of your body, highlight the other half with tailored pieces.

The Knit Bag: above in cream and red, the slouchy knit bag complete with top handles also comes in teal, black, chestnut, heather grey, lime and more!

Style Notes for the Knit Bag:

1. Contrast an otherwise structured look with the added texture of the knit bag. The quickest way to elevate an Autumn look is to play with different balances of texture. Pair a wool blazer with a twill button down and tweed pants and offset the structured feeling with the casual cool vibe of the knit bag.

2. The added bonus to the knit bag is that it can play both sides of the casual versus work attire fence. This bag is an ideal weekend bag, perfect for a cozy Sunday brunch or a trip to the market. Grab a blazer, knit scarf, slouchy pair of pants and a comfortable yet structured loafer for the perfect cool yet pulled together weekend outfit.

The Color-Blocked Cardigan: this singular piece takes all of the guesswork out of the color-block trend and showcases it in one piece. It’s so chic and bold that it can take a work look to the next level of sophistication.

Style Notes for the Color-Blocked Cardigan:

1. Contrary to popular belief, the cardigan does not need a layering piece underneath. In fact, this slim version looks its best fully buttoned without underpinnings.

2. This color-blocked cardigan can benefit from exterior types of layering such as adding a belt to the natural waist and adding an outside layer like a sleek blazer.
