This textured cardigan from Talbots is going to be a wardrobe MVP this fall -- the perfect weight, an ideal fit (narrow, but not too snug to layer over other knits), and highly versatile. I styled it in a monochromatic look here, but just as easily anticipate wearing with jeans and a tee for an easy everyday look. The gold buttons are so chic and afford a vintage feel -- honestly, I had a difficult time selecting a color, as it also comes in a chic moss green and classic navy. (Sizing note: I took a petite petite and the dimensions are perfect; I'm typically an XS.) I shared a sneak peek of this cardigan before it was available at Talbots in a few Instagram stories and received over a dozen direct messages asking about its provenance, so I have a sense that many of you intend to make this a part of your autumn uniform, too. I'd also like to spotlight their Francisca suede driving loafers, seen below paired with this outfit -- this is my second pair of these shoes (I also own in navy). They are comfortable right out of the box! I typically like to pair them with fall maxis or corduroy/denim midis, but I find them ultra-chic with a cropped pant, as the pointed toe elongates the leg.

I also styled the textured cardigan with their perfect black turtleneck, incredibly flattering Montauk pants, and suede bow pumps. The turtleneck is aptly named -- it is the perfect weight and silhouette. I want it in multiple colors. This look would be ideal for an effortlessly pulled-together work look.
