'90s style knit sweaters are the current fashion favored by younger females.
In the heart of August, as the heatwave continues its grip on many cities, fashion enthusiasts like senior editor Allyson Payer of our platform start thinking about what to buy for the upcoming fall season. One trend that's making waves is the return of leopard print, a timeless and stylish choice that blends vintage and contemporary styles[1][5].
This trend has been highlighted by Olivia Rodrigo's recent outfit, which features a '90s-inspired leopard-print wool cardigan by Rixo. While the Rixo cardigan might be outside some budgets, there are more affordable options available[1].
For example, J.Crew offers two cashmere leopard-print cardigans priced under $100. By using J.Crew’s discount code SHOPSALE, you can save even more[1]. Marks & Spencer also sells an animal print round neck cardigan for about $51, providing another budget-friendly alternative[3].
Leopard-print cardigans are versatile pieces, perfect for layering over tanks or tees, and can be styled buttoned up for a more formal look[5]. Olivia Rodrigo's styling with black miniskirts and ballet flats further illustrates the trend's '90s throwback appeal[1].
If you're looking for transitional weather pieces to wear straight through fall, Nordstrom has a range of options. From cosy knits to stylish boots, they have everything you need to stay warm and fashionable[5].
Allyson Payer, originally from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, joined the company in 2014 as co-founder Katherine Power's executive assistant. She holds a BFA in theater arts and is based in Raleigh, North Carolina[4].
