Fall trend: Animal sweaters


I keep spotting pretty women around New York with animals peeking out from underneath their jackets—sheep, foxes, more foxes, owls, birds.. My favorite is this adorable dog sweater, which would be great to wear on fall days with jeans and moccasins.

Thoughts? Would you wear an animal sweater?

P.S. 5 other fall trends.

  1. I've been eyeing that French Hen sweater for a while. They have a scarf with the same print but I can't find it on their website. Adorable!

  3. haha, that's hilarious, kristin!! and, erin, i took a peek at the jcrew website and it looks like the scarf is sold out. here is one on eBay, although it's not cheap! http://compare.ebay.com/like/310485277836?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

  5. Yes, I would. Just altered a skirt and shirt to make a dress with an owl on the front.

  7. Yes! Totally in love with animal sweaters. I also want an animal tee and night shirt. Wearing too cuteness has to be a positive experience.

  9. I don't think I would! Cute for little girls I think but I'm a little dubious about this trend for grown women! :))

  10. Love this pup sweater. I actually just posted photos wearing the J.Crew French hen sweater yesterday - it's my new favorite! Love how playful and classic this trend is. :)

  12. Absolutely love this trend! I am also really into fox jewelry right now...

  13. Nothing tooo cutesy but would love a sharp looking one. Like the fox or dog one. I think it adds so quirky style to a boring wardrobe.

    p.s- Minnie Mouse or Mickey Mouse doesn't qualify as an animal sweater!

  14. oh man, i have a frenchie at home and might just need to honor him on the daily by picking this sweater up.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Totally. I'm just looking for the right fox sweater. And hoping this trend won't look too dated next fall, because I don't think I'll find something to stretch over this pregnant belly this fall.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I'm with Kate Harvey -- not for me, but my almost-three-year-old daughter has a great "critter" t-shirt in a neon green. But I'd take the Frenchie sweater over this one from J. Crew, which is...well...not for me: http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/sweaters/crewnecks/PRDOVR~29028/29028.jsp

  17. I can't decide if this trend is too childish, but there are some vintage sweaters that are more subtle--and just do a silhouette.
    Loving this vintage one:

  22. I can get behind this madewell sweater as well:

  23. I like them in theory but i think they're a bit too trendy. I love sweaters and I'm not sure about the longevity of these. I like my sweaters to last and last, that's part of the joy of bringing them out each year for the fall and winter seasons. I have a jcrew cardigan I've had for at least 15 years and I wear it every year. I do like owl one though, that one seems a bit timeless with the retro graphic and the sheep one would work in a smaller scale.

  24. I love this trend, it's super cute and fun to wear.

  25. So cute. Reminds me of Margo's horse sweater during the Christmas party scene of Lars & the Real Girl. Wish I could find a picture of it!

  26. I'm not usually too into them, but I totally fell in love with this one from Oysho:

  34. Love this! I have a sheep sweater that has been my cozy favorite for awhile now. My husband makes fun of me for wearing it but now I can tell him that I'm right on trend!

    ReplyDelete
  35. ummm yeah I definitely bought a gray sweater with small black horses printed all over it a few months ago! It is the greatest thing ever! I love it when people do a double take and realize there are horses on my shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  36. noticed h&m are doing them too! I can sort of justify that.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I'm not a fan to be honest. This whole trend of animals on knitted sweaters reminds me so much of that episode of Portlandia where they 'put a bird on it': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XM3vWJmpfo

  38. Hell yeah, if I was in 3rd grade!

  40. love, I have been noticing foxes on everything (Tory Burch, Etc). Which is cute, because it is my middle name, but I love the J.Crew Sweaters!

  41. That's because you want a dog, Joanna! Do it...Do it...Do it....

  43. I don't know...I saw that they had these at a few stores this past weekend. Not my style...but then again they fit in the ugly sweater category ;) Check out these sweaters for a good laugh: http://www.tipsyelves.com/sweaters

  44. I overnighted this sweater as soon as it came out so I could wear it to my frenchie's birthday party on Sunday! See pics of my frenchie and my frenchie sweater at theroserecord.blogspot.com. Also, it's so comfortable and doesn't ball up at all.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Not really. I like classic sweaters better. Maybe on a little one, though.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I keep getting tempted by that french hen sweater, it makes me chuckle everytime I see it.

  47. I think this would be cute if I was a little girl or maybe even a teen. But as a grown woman, I think it is too trendy and just becomes an ugly old lady sweater. Like Christmas sweaters were in the 80 s. not for me. Cute for my kid.

    ReplyDelete
  48. This is so cute! I would totally wear an animal sweater! Especially if mine fit as swell as that models, she looks so good!

    ReplyDelete
  49. um nope. They are cute for other people. It reminds me of grown ass men wearing shirts with cartoon characters.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I definitely would, I'm the biggest dog fan! I've got a miniature schnauzer and she is just the cutest thing. That frenchie bull dog reminds me of Stella the French Bulldog from Modern Family!

  51. how about these? - GORGEOUS on EBAY!!!
    1/2 size too large for me.

  52. Not with my heaving bosom but I do think it looks cute on lanky girls with a tomboy vibe!

  53. I totally agree with you! It's all about having a little fun. I actually included the same sweater in my post this morning : lelivingandco.blogspot.ca

  55. I can't tell you how much I LOVE this trend! I found a horse sweater last year in the kid's section of H&M (it's actually meant to be a sweater dress) and have absolutely worn it out. I'm happy to know that I'll likely be able to replace it with an actual adult piece of clothing! You can see it (well most of it) here:

  56. My favorite sweater is a hedgehog print one, which, from far away looks like large polka dots and up close, is both hilarious and adorable. I have to keep myself from wearing it too often lest I wear it out!

    ReplyDelete
  57. i bought this same Frenchie sweater from J.Crew just last week! cool to see it now in your blog, and get inspiration for other fall trends. Thank you. ps and by the way, not sure if The Kooples brand has reached the US yet, here in Europe it's pretty popular. You might like their animal tee's, too: http://www.thekooples.co.uk/sport-women/sport-t-shirt.html

  58. Hm, I keep seeing them everywhere, but for some reason I'm convinced they would make me look like a child! I should try one on I guess and take a good friend for an honest opinion:)

  59. I would totally wear one! I'm on the hunt for a schnauzer sweater!

    ReplyDelete
  62. I absolutely love this fashion trend!! This dog sweater you found is adorable. I would definitely wear it. I have a sweater similar to this style, but instead it just has a giant heart in the middle rather than an animal. It's from J. Crew and it is one of my favorites!! So young, yet fun and chic to wear!

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yes!! Can't wait to get one!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yes, i love animal sweaters too!

  65. I am all over the animal sweaters. You know what would be cool? If they allowed you to customize with your own pet. Yes, I really love my dog and yes, I am a dork.
