Refined Relaxation: This Season’s Best Knits
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Lately, I’ve been seeing a lot of celebrities sporting more down-to-earth & casual looks that I now find myself dressing down more and buying pieces like chunky knits, super-soft fleece jackets, & lux cashmere. I’m not sure if the economy has pushed us towards these more cozy, yet stylish looks or if dressing more casually has a more every-day appeal with an unbeatable cool, girl vibe? Let’s face it–nothing is more easy than throwing on your favorite pair of jeans, a chunky sweater style, and flat boots, and the designers have made it easy to find all of these pieces in fabrics, styles, and colors to make each and all of us happy.
October deliveries are in and the majority of our new inventory focuses around one of the biggest trends this season: chunky knits. However, other luscious sweater-inspired styles include the update to one of our favorite fabrics–French Terry. The carefully updated & polished styles are being offered up in so many different silhouttes & cozy fabrics that one will not be short on ideas on how to achieve this look.
Recently inspired by “The New Casual” an article in October’s People StyleWatch, I am offering up our favorite styles that can be found at shopchantal.com& chantal.
Tattered Elizabeth Blazer
Vintage Fleece Hoodie
STYLISH FLEECE: The perfect compliment for your everyday look! Splendid’s Vintage Fleece Hoodie shown here with a burnout from Sharon Segal & a distressed skinny style from [BLANK] is the perfect way to sport this not just for the gym style!
Juliette Vest
FURRY VESTS & JACKETS: Joie’s Glimmer Faux Fur Vest is our pick for this trend! However, due to it’s larger than life presence we recommend keeping the rest of your ensemble simple by pairing it back to skinny jeans and boots. Another way to achieve a similar look without the “fur” is to pair your favorite leggings & boots back to Joie’s Juliette Sweater Vest. Still very much so on trend due to it’s chunky quality!
