Anne of Green Cables

It may still be 80 degrees but Fall is right around the corner and nothing screams cozy like a good cable-knit sweater. What was once a preppy closet staple is now very chic. Designers sent the perennial style down the runway in toppers, crops, light weaves and fur-trims for a more updated look than we've seen in the past. The cable sweater isn't just for roaming the school hallways with your cords anymore. Consider pairing the classic piece with a constructed skirt or flowy dress as you transition to the cooler temps.

Kate and Nicole always know how to make a classic piece cool. Kate pairs her cables with cute khaki trousers for a perfect Fall ensemble while Nicole pairs her dress with tights for a more winter appropriate look.

How fabulous are these two ladies? This style is most often found in neutrals so how fabulous is the red? D.I.E.
