There is a kind of anticipation that arrives with autumn. The light changes.. mornings feel a touch softer.. and suddenly, the sweater you've been thinking about becomes the object of desire. This year, and every year for that matter, is a Lisa Todd sweater. Two in particular have our attention: Flower Power and Hype the Stripe.
In the South, however, autumn is a bit of a tease. The calendar may insist it is fall, but the thermometer has other ideas. While elsewhere women are pulling on knee-high boots and wrapping themselves in cashmere, we are still navigating temperatures that suggest summer has no intention of leaving quietly.
If one Lisa Todd sweater captures the wink, it's Flower Power. This cotton sweater is playful without being precious, the kind of piece that turns plain shorts or your favorite jeans into a full outfit. Choose Black for contrast or Full Cream for something softer, and let the flowers do the talking. Then there is Hype the Stripe, proof that a stripe can be anything but basic. Knit in a soft cotton cashmere, this Lisa Todd sweater brings color and rhythm to Black Multi or Oat, and it's the one that makes a simple pair of trousers feel like a statement.
The beauty is in the styling. A brilliant sweater can turn a simple pair of trousers into a statement, make denim feel decidedly more elevated, or lend a pair of summer shorts an entirely new point of view. Perhaps that is the real allure of sweater weather: it gives us permission to play. To layer. To experiment. To indulge in color and texture simply because it makes getting dressed more pleasurable. So let autumn arrive on its own schedule. We have Lisa Todd sweaters to wear and a season of style to enjoy. Shop all Lisa Todd sweaters online, or come see them in person at Jilli Boutique.
