Sometimes it’s necessary to get a bit graphic. So we spare no detail in telling you about fall’s graphic pullovers. Sweaters this season run the gamut from raglan sleeved, skull designs to geometric prints that would do Escher proud. Even cardigans are getting in on the action with zig zags, stripes, polka dots and pictures.

Take a cue from Celine’s pink and black wild work. Be inspired by Balenciaga’s animal print sweater shirt or Proenza Schouler’s bold prints. Every level in between and every price point can pull off the trend, a look that, depending upon the graphics, can go from work to play and fall crisp to winter cold.

These fall wardrobe essentials layer beautifully over long sleeve tees, under leather biker jackets and atop maxis, colored denim or cords. Even throw one over a denim, collared dress for a snuggly feel or with a mini, tights and high boots. Try ankle booties or the latest almond-toed pumps.

The louder the better for your sweater so stay a bit toned down, beneath. In fact, liven up a faded jean or last season’s skirt, showing your cheeky personality through sweaters emblazoned with quirky messages or dizzying, unexpected color combinations. Look for selections with heart designs, squirrels, camouflage, owls, mustaches or even sweaters threaded through with silver, gold or bronze for an elegant effect. The cozy sweater has never been as welcome.
