Striped Knits Are Everywhere, But These Are the Most Stylish Ways to Wear Them

@greceghanemStyle Notes: There's something so chic about stirrup legging. Somehow, they just manage to feel smarter than the classic pair. Take cues from Grece Ghanem and pair yours with chunky loafers (still an influencer favourite) and a fluffy Breton on top.
M&S knows good knitwear, and we've got the results to prove it. Upgrade your regular crew-neck with a collared V-neck like this popular jumper from their latest autumn drop.
Give your jeans a break, and try stirrup leggings. I can promise you they're at least 80% more comfortable than a pair of rigid skinnies.
The loafers you've seen all over your timeline are back for another year, and this in time with a brushed-leather finish.

@emmarosestyleStyle Notes: If you're still working from home, then this is the ultimate outfit for you. It also works if you need to dash out for a quick coffee with a friend. And if you're thinking that the sandals aren't going to work when it gets super cold, just add socks. This is the perfect hybrid outfit that works for weather that's not quite freezing but isn't summer anymore.
It's been a very good year for Totême, and if we're not wearing its best-selling scarf jacket, you'll find us in this.
These aren't just any track pants—they're luxuriously soft cashmere pants. Just imagine the comfort and warmth of doubling up on soft knits.
It's still mild enough to get away with slides (especially pottering around the house), so the leather sandals you invest in now you can still wear next summer.

@kimturkingtonStyle Notes: A simple formula that still manages to feel fresh. Take a boxy T-shirt, straight-leg jeans and retro-looking trainers, and presto—your next weekend look is sorted.
Good Breton knits come in cashmere, too, and this cloud-soft knit is light enough to layer up.
Trench coat devotees, can I interest you in a casual alternative to the midi length coat? Introducing the short trench jacket. Just as good looking, but half the fabric.
Pangaia's range of unisex tees always get the quality and fit right. Thick, soft, organic cotton and the perfect loose, oversized fit.
The jean shape we're all wearing now? the high-waisted straight-leg with just the right amount of crop at the ankles to showcase your shoes.
Finally, a shoe trend that doesn't result in blisters. And these vintage-looking basketball-inspired trainers might just replace your Converse.

@erica_daviesStyle Notes: So you need a Breton outfit that's smart enough for the office but still prioritises comfort first. May I suggest looking no further than a tailored wide-leg trouser. No matter what you pair them with, they add a dose of sophistication, so consider them a wise investment.
If you're in need of a fine knit for the balmier days, this is one step up from a jersey top, so no need to contend with overheating on the commute,
These wide-leg trousers come editor-approved, and with four colours to choose from, we're considering buying one of each.
A fine gold chain + a Breton knit = a match made in minimalist heaven.
If you haven't already bought a black ankle boot this autumn, make it this one.

@taniceelizabethStyle Notes: Who says you have to fully wear your Breton to look chic? Throw yours on your shoulders over a knit dress and add knee-high boots for an evening-ready outfit you won't mind wearing the next day, too.
Add a camel-coloured Breton to your roster to switch up from traditional monochrome.
I''m fully convinced there is nothing chicer or more practical than a knit dress this autumn.
Just when I think I've seen every knee-high boot worth discussing, something this good comes along.

@femmeblkStyle Notes: And yes, you can wear your Breton jumper for a night out! Case in point: this dressy dinner look. Pair a fine knit jumper with strappy sandals, slim-fit trousers and a chic handbag, and you're good to go.
Cardigans are having a moment (and we've got Katie Holmes to thank), so why not extend the stripe to your favourite cardi, too?
I might be a wide-leg fan, but evening calls for slim-fit tailoring, and these wool-blend chinos are surprisingly easy to dress up.
Sorry, platforms. The stiletto is still shorthand for easy evening glamour.
If you haven't yet seen Benedetta Bruzziches's party bags appearing in your feed, give it time. These unforgettable bags are destined to be the next cult hit. Talk about some serious arm candy…

@symphonyofsilkStyle Notes: Suit up and soften sharp tailoring with a casual Breton knit. It's still power dressing, but with a twist, and we're backing any outfit that looks this confident but feels so cosy.
Warehouse specialises in cool tailoring at high-street prices. Expect oversized blazers and wide-leg trousers in an array of great colours and fabrications.
Not technically a knit, but a Breton worthy of inclusion. This thick jersey top is just the hint of print that a suit needs to make it feel less formal.
A wide-leg cargo trouser doesn't sound like it should make sense, but somehow, it definitely does.

@laurennicolefkStyle Notes: If you've been watching the trend from afar but weren't sure exactly what to wear with cowboy boots, Lauren Nicole has the answer. There's no need for shorts, miniskirts or predictable denim here. You can add a rock-and-roll edge to your knitwear with some glossy leather trousers and kick-ass cowboy boots.
For the minimalist who's wary of too many stripes, this is a subtle nod to the trend.
I have it on good authority that Good American denim is the best-fitting on the market for curves, so it's safe to assume the same goes for its latest leather launch.
After buying these in burgundy, I'm eyeing up the black pair, too. After all, cowboy boots are on our list of the coolest boot trends to invest in this autumn.
