Sometimes there's a trend so easy and cool, it takes no effort at all to pull off. And, when I start to think about the appeal of knotted tops, dresses, and skirts, it probably has a lot to do with the fact that they fall right in that category — a subtle twist on everyday dressing that feels fresh without trying too hard. It's a definitively cool-girl look, whether you opt for the knot-front pencil skirt or the twisted tee — and we've rounded up all kinds of iterations for your shopping pleasure.
