Kate Moss and boyfriend Jamie Hince recently headed to the Swan Inn pub near her country home in Cotswolds. As usual, the couple stayed stylish: Jamie in a fur-collared army jacket and Kate in a cozy gray and black striped sweater. She's worn this piece before so it must be super comfortable. If you love stripes as much as Kate, get the look without spending a fortune.

With this For Joseph Striped Sweater ($159), you can mimic Kate's laid-back style without feeling remorse. It's made of cotton and angora-cashmere, and looks pretty similar to the model's. It even has the long, loose sleeves.

Look of the Day: In the Details

FabSugar — Tue, 01 May 2012 03:00:14 PDT

Proving that sometimes it really is all in the details, Fab reader nettevartanian styled an outfit that relied just as much on sleek proportions as it did supercool embellishments. She tucked a bow-infused striped sweater into high-waist wide-leg pants, which not only elongated her legs, it showed off a sophisticated pairing perfect for a chic work environment. But the real treat came in the form of her laser cut-embellished leather jacket - even the neckline was artfully scalloped for added shape and texture. To finish off the look, she carried a cream-colored tote and donned red heels.

Congrats nettevartanian!

Fab reader Postgradchic looked super cute in an effortless daytime-chic ensemble. She wore a nautical-inspired navy striped sweater with a pair of bold red cropped trousers. While the vibe is a bit preppy, she mixed it up with cool-meets-quirky Rachel Comey sandals and a boho brown shoulder bag. We think this outfit proves perfect for Spring's transitional dress code.

Fab reader Brunetteblogging amped up a cute striped skirt by pairing it with a slick metallic sweater. The cool contrast of a gilded hue against a wide nautical-inspired pattern offered up a sophisticated take on preppy springtime style. Dressing to a chillier climate, she added navy blue tights, two-tone laceups, and a brown textured tote, which provided a more classic accent to the gold topper statement.

First Look! Over 75 Photos of Madewell's Woodsy-Inspired Fall 2012 Preview

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 11:53:20 PDT

Madewell turned to the woods for its Fall 2012 collection, showing a barrage of its casual chic wares injected with a whimsical forest touch aptly described as "one part Wes Anderson-style quirk, one part urban woodland, and one part proper English professor." That said, cute farm-animal-printed sweaters were paired with silky shorts, striped pencil skirts with colorblocked sweaters, and anoraks with printed pants. We especially loved the camel knit cocoon sweater paired with the neon yellow silk skirt. For accessories, Madewell supplied its usually bevy of covetable boots and colorful flats, but we also noticed a few new styles, like printed calf-hair loafers and ankle boots added to the mix. Leather satchels dipped in warm autumnal hues also provided a cozy-meets-classic feel to the line. Want to see what else Madewell has in store for Fall?
