We all have that friend who is continually asked about what they're wearing. Whether they’re being stopped on the street or DMed on Instagram, they just have that knack of making us want to insert their outfits into our own wardrobes. One of the many occupational hazards of working in fashion is that I have *so many people* in my life who fit this criterion. Even aside from my fellow editors, I've ended up surrounded by stylish people who are forever wearing cool things —and because they're the best, they love nothing more than sharing where they shop.
Since it's that time of year when we're all hunting down chic sweaters , I hit up some of my fashion friends to share their go-to picks. From cardigans in trending colors to timeless cashmere, here are 12 brands they rely on when it comes to fall knitwear.
Libby Strachan, Brand Marketing Director at Free People
COS
"I recently got an amazing cashmere sweater that feels and looks like it's from The Row. The cuts and silhouettes of their sweaters are incredibly luxe, and there's a good price range of options. This first style is the sweater I bought." — Libby Strachan
