Celebrated on NYFW runways is the sweater. The iconic fall wardrobe piece. Ricci, Veneta, Lauren, Kane, Lavin, Furstenberg, Wu, Lim. They all have them. With skirts. Matching the bulk of the sweater with the femininity of the skirt, the new fall trend is an exercise in balance.

What could be more iconic than the cable-knit sweater? Find the right short structured skirt, and you have yourself a sleek match-up featuring the legs. If you’re looking for a fuller, mid-length skirt, pair with a smooth sweater to balance the weight on the bottom. Do you run a little warm, even in the fall? Go with a cap sleeve sweater, and have a little fun with a tulle or skirt with some flounce- Why not?
