Striped knits belong in every wardrobe fine knit cardigan
It’s officially fall, which can mean only one thing — sweater season is in full swing. And no one’s doing it better than Gwyneth Paltrow.
In a recent outfit roundup on Instagram, the actress showcased a variety of versatile striped pieces, including a striped sweater in alternating shades of Kelly green, navy, and white. The sweater, which is from her signature G. Label by goop brand, is finished with solid ribbing at the crew neckline, cuffs, and hem. She kept it casual by scrunching up the sleeves and adding a pair of cropped, wide-leg jeans.
Striped sweaters are a classic essential for crisp fall weather. The preppy pattern can be worn in so many ways — with jeans like Paltrow’s look, with a mini skirt and Mary Jane flats, or with wide-leg trousers and heels, to name a few.
Paltrow has reached for stripes multiple times recently. She threw a striped cardigan sweater over her shoulders with a black tank and white linen pants in Capri, Italy, and she went shopping in a sleeveless striped maxi dress. Plus, Jennifer Garner and Kate Middleton have both cozied up in striped sweaters.
