It's only Wednesday, but given the cooler winds blowing through New York City and the emergence of dresses with tights and over-the-knee Fall boots, I think it's safe to say TGIF--Thank Goodness It's Fall!

A Fall trend we're happy to see experiencing a 90's resurgence is the highly-customizable cropped sweater. It's a look that can be dressed several different ways, and in textures that might seem bulky in a larger sweater--in the look from No. 21, seen above left, multiple cables create a textural landscape that benefit from the closer fit and shorter length of the sweater, which is layered over a floral patterned button-down and tweed skirt for a chic and youthful office-appropriate outfit. Designer Anja Gockel layered a heavily sequined sweater over an untucked hi-low button-down and fitted leather pants for a rocker twist, Italian fashion label Marni chose a loose-fitting, marled grey sweater over a flouncy peplum top and matching skirt in olive for a mix of casual elegance, and Laurél eschewed layering altogether with a closely-matched blue cashmere sweater and digitally-printed pencil skirt, appropriate for both the office and a night out. 

The Milena Cropped Pullover in ZARA KID (above, right) features a mix of stockinette, ribbing, and elongated YO stitchwork for a highly textural sweater with several styling possibilities--it will be as much a joy to knit as it will be to mix and match with your wardrobe! Layer it over a patterned button-down and slacks for the playful mix of texture as seen in the No. 21 outfit, or wear alone paired with a pencil skirt for a look that moves from office to date night attire. There are so many possibilities for layering a cropped sweater, you're only limited by your existing wardrobe. Of course, you can also wear it alone over a soft pair of jeans and flats--simple is always in!
