Luxe knits were the main attraction during New York Fashion Week fall 2014 shows. From elegant mohair tops and delicate hand-spun details to ribbed leggings and decadent scarves, piling on the knit silhouettes for colder temperatures is a must this season.
Michael Kors paired chunky, oversized sweaters with metallic evening maxi skirts, mixing sophistication with a casual edge. Dries Van Noten followed suit with contrasting metallic accents on his knitwear parading down the runway.
Francisco Costa's show for the Calvin Klein Collection didn't disappoint with his panoply of cuddly, comfy gray sweater dresses that somehow managed to look tailored. Using almost solely mohair and yarn, his dresses and tops took on an architectural, yet feminine quality.
Rodarte's show was affectionately described as "geek chic" by Vogue, and featured eccentric styling and Lurex and marl-knit sweaters.
Marc Jacobs ended NYFW on a high note with his neutral palette and showcase of sumptuous furs and dramatic knitwear. This fall, it's all about layering and luxurious spun fabrics, and Jacobs led the way with his tailored collection of leggings, thin knit sweaters and fur accents.
It's all about drama, sophistication and layering this season, so keep your eye out for luxurious mohair and knit blends, chunky sweaters and accessories to keep you both warm and in style.
