MOTHER The Extra Crop Jumper — Red Ivory Blue Multi Stripe

This is exactly the kind of sweater I want in September — it gives you that first hint of fall without feeling heavy or overly serious. The striped pattern brings plenty of personality, while the cropped silhouette makes it easy to wear with all the higher-rise denim already in your closet.

And I love the combination of red, ivory and blue. It feels classic and a little nostalgic, but the proportions keep it current.

WHY I LOVE IT

• Stripes are always a yes for me
• Cropped shape works beautifully with high-rise denim
• Red, ivory + blue feels classic without being boring
• An easy way to add color to a fall wardrobe
• Makes a simple jeans-and-sweater outfit feel intentional
• Perfect for that early-fall, not-quite-coat-weather window

DEAR LUCY EDIT

THE STRIPED SWEATER. ❤️

There is something about a great striped sweater + jeans that I will never get tired of.

And this is exactly how I'd wear this one — with slightly slouchy denim (hello, Lemon Twist), a loafer or ballet flat + a simple bag.

The cropped proportion is key here. With fuller, more relaxed denim coming back, I actually WANT my sweater a little shorter so the whole outfit doesn't feel oversized.

Easy, slightly preppy, a little nostalgic — and very September.
