A classic striped sweater is a stylish update for fall.

Once upon a time, graphic navy and white striped Breton shoes became a wardrobe staple. And today, the nautical-inspired striped sweater is a favorite of some of our own editors, and after scouring many designers' offerings, it appears to be this fall's It sweater. In fact, brands like La Ligne and Kule have spearheaded the development of stylish reimaginings of the classic stripe; and they are not the only ones. We're seeing a variety of horizontal stripes in varying widths and silhouettes, with alternating navy and white, cream or off-white lines on everything from cashmere to knits. The charm of the classic stripe is rooted in its casualness, and that stylish ease continues even in these modern interpretations of the knitwear. Whether you prefer collared cardigans over puff-sleeve pullovers or color blocking over abstract stripes, you can still pair them with just about everything in your fall wardrobe, like jeans, trench coats, or boots. These stylish graphic knits are sure to be one of the hottest pieces this season.
