Cooler weather brings the return of many standard fashion elements, such as sweaters, a layered look, and darker colors. But there is much variation to this theme to keep your wardrobe lively and constantly in flux.
Sweater Styles for Fall 2008
Cashmere and cable knit sweaters will be popular season after season. But the sweater itself is constantly reincarnated. Liz Claiborne has taken a cable knit sweater and curved the cable pattern inward at the waist to give the illusion of the feminie shape. Long sweaters are also hot. Sweaters in the junior department run to the knees with hoods and no sleeves. Another popular sweater style is the makeover of the poncho. This look is given many new names, such as the cape sweater, and the fit varies just as much, from ornate knits to a more blanket-like look closed with toggle-style buttons. Long sweaters are more flattering when cinched at the waist. Some sweaters will have a built-in cord to tie while others require a separate belt.
