style advice: top ten knits of the season

i adore layering and i absolutely love to stay warm. i will forever be in debt to whoever found a way to combine these two loves. we like to call this the all hailing KNIT. otherwise known as the cuddling tunic, the jump-in-a-pile-of-leaves sweater or the curl-up-with-a-book pullover. this fall is a perfect time to invest in that ideal knit. pair it with a pair of skinny jeans, combat boots and a scarf or layer by throwing it over a maxi-dress. here are the top ten knits of the season.

i could not be more obsessed with the thakoon sweater. the asymmetry and color really stand out and i would love to rock the helmut lang around campus. when looking for YOUR knits this fall, try to find unique, bold styles that will really make you shine. no one wants to look like they are wearing 'grandma's finest crafts work'. as the leaves begin to fall, remember: layer up, knit up and keep warm.
