Comfy & Cozy
This cropped sweatshirt with cuffs and a hood is currently all the craze. The pastel pink Nicky velour fabric makes this piece particularly soft and elegant. Wear it with jeans or a high-waisted skirt for a look that is absolutely trendy. Check out our video tutorial for helpful step-by-step instructions as you make this model here.
Stripes are not just a summer trend, as you can see with the gorgeous top to the right. With this hooded sweatshirt, you’ll head into fall in complete style! The oversized cut is comfortable, casual, and chic.
Euphoria!
Block colors are back for fall! This mid-length skirt in organic burgundy flannel is the perfect piece to wear as the weather gets a bit colder. The color goes so well with shades of brown and beige for a lovely autumnal piece, and the large flounce adds fullness so you can frolic in the leaves!
The longer cut to the right creates a lovely, sophisticated shape. With its elongated flounce and discrete volume, you can romp around in complete comfort. Plus, the floral pattern in organic cotton is great for the season.
Gathered Joy
This blouse with a tunic vibe is stunning with its floral print! Made from comfortable cotton, this piece can even be worn as a dress over dark-colored tights. Drawstrings allow you to accentuate your waist for a fitted look, and, like all the other versions, this piece comes with delicate gathers along the front and on the sleeves.
Another variant of this model can be seen to the right. We love the bright red shade and the three-quarter length sleeves! Plus, the cut is sure to show off all your assets! This piece easily catches the eye with its pretty gathers and graceful details.
Front and Center
The boxy cut of this model is a favorite for its volume and comfort. And this casual style blends an edgy look with a feminine touch. We are swooning over the trendy burgundy corduroy and the large pink snap fasteners.
Part jacket, part coat, this version is a wonderful piece to throw on in autumn! Plus, the tie around the waist allows you to play around with a number of looks. Super cozy, this model is cut from a checked wool blend fabric for a northern woods look from that 90's that is certainly coming back in style this winter season.
Modern Vintage
Simple, but stylish: this mid-length dress in maroon lyocell is elegant thanks to its lovely cut, subtle box pleats, and delicate yet casual allure. This piece can be sewn up in no time at all for a look that is undeniably cool.
A longer version of this model is just as beautiful! The midi dress is a must-have for the fall season. The elongated skirt adds volume and adapts to any kind of shape and look. Throw a blazer over the piece to dress it up, or pair it with a jean jacket for a more romantic air. The poetic floral pattern is a delight and the perfect nod to a comfortable autumn.
