And all that talk about horse-girl fashion has led to a rise in preppy sweaters, including cable-knit, argyle print, and polos.

The jumper made heads turn at the Chanel Métiers d’Art show and has been rising in popularity ever since. Shop our editors’ top fall sweater trends below before they inevitably sell out.
