This Stylist’s Take on Fall’s Best Sweater

October 18, 2021

Shop the story

When it comes to fall style, there’s really only one item that your wardrobe needs: a well-made sweater. Whether it’s a turtleneck, cropped cardigan sweater, or chunky knit, assembling a set of stylish sweater outfits is your best bet. In the need for a touch of inspiration, we asked stylist Kate Brien Kitz to show us how she’d wear our Cropped Cocoon Cardigan. One sweater, styled her way—read on for the seasonal wardrobe guidance you didn’t know you needed.

For The Office

First up for Kate’s takes on the Cropped Cardigan is this casual yet put-together look featuring high-waisted trousers paired with an effortless heel. She adds in dainty layers of jewelry and some sunglasses to pull the whole look together in true California fashion. To try this outfit on your own, look for a pair of pants with relaxed proportions and a simple shoe—the perfect ensemble for office days and after-work outings.

For The Weekend

For her second styling, Kate wears the Cropped Cocoon Cardigan with a button-up shirt, New Balance sneakers, and classic denim. We love this look for its intuitive use of color and texture and its defined approach to comfort and simplicity, which makes it the perfect outfit for a weekend at home or spent with friends. Our tip for making this sweater outfit your own? Keep it low-key with your color pairings and stick to two to three shades of likeness across the board.

For Date Night

We wouldn’t be showcasing the Cropped Cocoon’s versatility without a date night option framed through the stylist’s eye. Kate wears our favorite cropped sweater with one of the most classic closet staples around: the little black dress. With a simple pair of heels and demure earrings in the mix, this look is our definition of perfection. For those looking to borrow this date night look, we suggest focusing on a fitted style to work against the drape of the Cropped Cocoon.
