A Statement-Making Graphic
A graphic sweater adds something interesting to any basic look, and with tons of options — from animals to objects — you're bound to find an image you'll want to rock on your chest.

Side-Zip Details
Side zippers are a delicate detail the fashion crowd loves. Leave 'em as is or open them up to let in the air — the choice is yours.

A Turtleneck
You know you'll be needing one of these once the cold weather rolls around, but for now, pair a turtleneck with shorts as the season transitions.
A Funny Saying
Not only are they cozy, but these 'gram-worthy toppers will also allow you to say what you feel without uttering a word
A Chunky Knit
This classic design never goes out of style, and whether you wear it with jeans or over a dress, you're bound to live in chunky knits until things warm up again.
A Cardigan
It's all about layering during Fall and Winter months, and nothing layers better than a cardigan. Add one to your outfit when you're feeling chilly, then throw it in your bag once you've had enough.
Classic Stripes
If there's one top that can be worn year-round, it's this not-so-basic basic. Stripes pair well with everything from full skirts to jeans and can quickly take your look from simple to statement-making.
Neutrals
Sometimes, it's all about the color, and neutrals make for a clean, elevated outfit. Don't believe us? Just ask Kim Kardashian.
Fringe Details
Forget rhinestones and sequins; the new It embellishment is fringe. Find a sweatshirt with that little extra and embrace the current trend, comfy-girl style.
A Pullover Poncho
While wrap versions were the popular choice last year, this Fall it's all about the pullover. Top off your favorite flares with this loose-fitting style and you'll nail the boho look in practically no time.
