Deal Of The Day: Take Up To 70% Off Soft Sweaters From Liz Claiborne

We understand that you might be a tad bit tired of Isaac Mizrahi by now, but no one can deny that after leaving Target last year, the discount-chic designer has done great things to renovate and revive Liz Claiborne. These luxurious casual sweaters caught our eye for their refreshingly feminine fits, hues, and majorly marked down prices. Just type in TOPSALE at checkout for a fabulous bargain.

Made of fine cashmere, the addition of a playful scarf neck to this sweater ($95 from $249) makes it easily either casual or dressy.

easy v cardigan

A go-with-everything cardigan with some roomy pockets is a fall must have. Try Liz Claiborne’s oversized style ($44 from $79) in red, black, or overcast gray.

rugby striped sweater

We love this slim fitting, rugby striped crewneck ($20 from $70) that’s both sporty and very chic.

What To Wear With: A Long Cardigan (And Look Chic, Not Frumpy)

A long cardigan is a versatile, perennially practical item which has the potential to look great when styled right – think sexy librarian instead of “frump.”  And what with overzealous office air-conditioning and cool late-summer nights that take you by surprise, a long cardigan is a perfect emergency layer to keep folded up in your bag.

what to wear with a long cardigan

Start simple, with a long, lean gray knit.  You can accessorize this in almost any direction you choose, though a geometric ring will stand out well (better than a nearly-hidden bracelet.)  A solid-color long cardigan looks good over a printed dress that’s almost the same length. Be sure to go with a dress with a bit of structure, so you’re not rocking the drapey-hippie look.  A nipped waist will add some nice definition under the sweater.

Last, a slightly edgy bag, with interesting hardware details, and practical but unique-looking flats will keep the entire look thoroughly modern.

Top Five: Draped Cardigans For The Fall We Wish Would Come Already

Okay, so it’s about a gazillion degrees out. Just standing near a sweater could send you into a heat coma, which means that browsing through racks and racks of them is completely out of the question.

So, in the spirit of getting revved up for fashion’s favorite season, do a little virtual shopping (comfortably from inside an air conditioned office or apartment) and take a peek at five trendy sweaters for your transition into crisper weather.

Vince cardigan

1. Vince is known for expertise in making the softest of sweaters; with its subtle drapes, this cardigan ($245) can be worn equally well with a casual tee or a sexy blouse.

Splendid sweater

2. Get two looks for the price of one – the old-fashioned side clasp on this convertible cotton cardigan from Splendid ($87) will keep you stylishly snug.

raw 7 shredded cardigan

3. This fall is all about immaculately destroyed clothing and the dexterous hands behind this shredded Raw 7 cardigan ($288) have certainly perfected the art of rippage.

UO drapfront cardigan

4. Is it a sweatshirt or is it a sweater? This lovely Silence & Noise cardigan ($48) plays with our heads like one of those magic eye books.

juicy C green cardigan

5. A long draped sweater like this Juicy Couture style ($178) is always figure-flattering and a great option for layering at the office.

J.Crew Is Not Great At Keeping Its Italian Secret

Seems like J.Crew has a big secret that the First Lady has picked up on. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, retailers like Bloomingdale’s and J.Crew are getting fabric from a premium Italian manufactuer, but with one caveat: they can’t tell anyone about it.

loropiana chevron sweater

High-end Italian textile maker Loro Piana creates fine wools and cashmere, and sells its yarn to labels like Brioni and Brooks Brothers, who in turn can put a Loro Piana label in the clothing. Additionally, Loro Piana has its own eponymous line of fine clothing, like this wool/polyester blend Chevron-Print Sweater ($1,450). However, the same yarn is used by J.Crew in its wool and cashmere sweaters, but sans the label.

jcrew cashmere

Or rather, the garments have labels that merely infer their origins, but not too discreetly. “We started with the very finest cashmere in the world, direct from a storied mill in Quarona, Italy,” says the J.Crew Landon Cashmere Cardigan ($298).

Either way, though, it’s no secret that Michelle Obama is a huge fan of J.Crew cardigans, which help make her classic style refined, yet approachable. And if we can all get as many compliments as she does, then I say keep up the good work, J.Crew.

We won’t tell anyone.

Check out our cardigans guide for other options to wear over your favorite tops and tees.

Classic Cardigans: Bill Cunningham Appreciates A Woman In Knit

In yesterday’s On the Street, venerable street-style photographer Bill Cunningham’s weekly slideshow for The New York Times, cardigan sweaters were the topic at hand.  Or, as Bill would pronounce it, “cah-digan sweat-ahs.”  It’s hard to say whether his posh old-fashioned accent or the cardigan sweater itself is more of a classic thing.

cardioneone

We love Bill’s pictures of stylish, cardigan-clad women on the streets of New York, and it’s inspired us to do a little shopping ourselves.  Here are our top picks:

gray-lamb-cardigan

This L.A.M.B. cardigan is an awesome, slim-fitting wardrobe staple, plus it’s on sale ($150.50 from $215.)

gap-cardigan1

You can’t go wrong with a lightweight, casual v-neck cardigan.  This Gap sweater comes in nine colors, so in addition to fun purple, you can pick up a neutral black or sand ($44.50.)

jcrew-cardigan

A long yet light merino cardigan, like this one from J. Crew ($89.50) looks good over jeans or a skirt, and works for all seasons.

Fashion Show Recap: Designing For High School Cliques Begets High School Bickering

The Fashion Show, Episode 6

From real women to teenagers, episode 6 of Bravo's The Fashion Show opened with a mini challenge that asked the nine remaining designers to create campaign slogan t-shirts for high school senior Giuliana's run for class president. The catch was that each designer had to target them to a specific high school clique (skaters, treehuggers, drama, nerds, etc.). Daniella won with her literal treehugger shirt, and also won immunity for this week's competition.

The following elimination challenge built on the clique concept, and each
designer had to create an outfit for a twenty-something woman inspired
by their clique.

image

Most of the outfits were indeed inspired, but some definitely missed the mark. Johnny, who unfortunately scored the jock clique, designed a strange tank top and shiny shorts combo and then put it over fringed leggings. Hmmm. Angel landed in the bottom two again with her B-girl ensemble that included wool office-wear pants (of different hem lengths) and a shiny puffer vest.

Guest judge Charlotte Ronson did not heart this outfit at all, and Angel was sent packing.

The Fashion Show, Episode 6, Merlin's winning design

Alas, Merlin's tears of frustration were for naught as his Mean Girls-inspired sheer top, fitted jeans, and creative sweater won the audience over. Unfortunately the sweater is not for sale but you can certainly take home the Mean sheer top ($95) or Mean cut jeans ($150).

Banana Republic Spring Is A Little Bit Of A Yawn

Banana Republic is like that one consistent, albeit predictable, girlfriend. You know… the one who will always be there when you need her, but who's always a smidge on the boring side. Unfortunately for BR, its new spring line doesn't really elevate 'her' status. We found a standard collection of metallic sweaters, tulip skirts and python accessories.

Below are the simple, understated standouts that are worth a gander.

image

It's not an eye explosion, but the Shiny Pleated Sweater ($79) would look sharp with a pair of crisp white jeans.

Banana Republic Artistic metal cuff

I out-and-out love the Artistic Metal Cuff ($44). Plus, it's not a huge investment if you're trying statement jewelry out for the first time.

Banana Republic Shiny pleated sweater dress

The vertical stripes on the Shiny Pleated Sweater Dress ($150) are slimming, which makes this a flattering option for both work and evening.
