In an effort to keep even our knitwear as chic as possible (without compromising on comfort), we've scoured our favorite stores for the cold-weather essentials we'll need for the month ahead. Admittedly, some pieces aren't so basic — a little Fair Isle, a few stripes, or a bit of sheer here and there to add interest to Winter-perfect gray sweaters, chunky cardigans, and even skirts. As for the necessary elements, you'll find that we haven't skimped on comfy bottoms with stylish (yes, stylish) sweats and fleece-lined leggings. Just click through for a few of our favorite seasonal necessities, then shop to bundle up as comfortably and stylishly as possible.

Maybe it's not enough to have a sweater. Maybe you need a sweater that makes a bold statement. Missoni, Pringle, Marni, and Proenza Schouler all got creative with their knitwear for Pre-Fall, debuting styles that are heavy on texture, pattern, and color. Will you wear these new knits or are they way too in-your-face for you?

Sneak Peek! UGG's Awesome Knits

UGG Australia Debuts Knits

The leader in cozy boots is foraying into even cozier knitwear. UGG Australia's cashmere and wool collection mixes boyfriend silhouettes with creamy colors and charming details. I envision these for a collegiate chic look — perfect for a late-night study date in the library, if you catch my drift . . . Features include feminine baby cable accents and supple jersey lining. Full-grain shearling lines hoods to provide extra comfort and warmth. Mmmm, shearling. A brushed lamb wool poncho (in three colors) breaks up the cozy-fest as a transitional piece. Look out for UGG's awesome knits come August, but until then, here's a peek of my favorites.

Designer Spotlight: Qi New York

Knitwear can either be totally chic or totally outdated.

Knitwear can either be totally chic or totally outdated. Meet Qi New York, a contemporary knitwear brand that offers the former. It originally started in 2002 as a cashmere knitwear company, but has since evolved to include other luxurious yarns. The Spring collection is brimming with must haves: sheer cardigans, handknit hoodies, soft, draped tops, and unique dresses. My favorite piece is this tunic stripe dress (center); it takes stripes to a whole new dimension.

Hong Kong Fashion Week: Over-Rolls Fall 2009

Today marks the first day of Fashion Week in Hong Kong, only proving our theory that it's always Fashion Week somewhere. One collection that caught our eye was the Over-Rolls Fall 2009 collection. The loose, layered knits were right on the mark and in their best form when they bunched around the neck. Check out the collection below and learn more about the Korean brand right here.

All of the big names in American fashion submitted their sketches to WWD yesterday as they prepare their pitch to dress Michelle Obama on inauguration night.

All of the big names in American fashion submitted their sketches to WWD yesterday as they prepare their pitch to dress Michelle Obama on inauguration night. The big hitters, we think, were the designer's who understood Michelle's classic low-profile style. 

Suzy Menkes writes on the rugged knits so popular in the Fall 08 menswear shows and makes the allusion to a declining economy and the need for comfort. She writes, "...no young banker wants to wear knitwear the color of a pink "you're laid off" slip".

Hanky Panky, the everyday undergarment chic women swear by, held a sample sale yesterday. Let's just say this is the first time Hanky Panky showed a panty line. 

WWD picked up the "Anna Wintour will resign/be replaced" story and gets "unfounded" quotes at every turn. A wrap up of the rumors is pitted against the official word.
