Before you think we've totally lost the plot, I'd like to confirm that we're aware of the fact that sloppy jumpers worn with midi skirts have kind of been a fashion "thing" for years now. However, while it's not a new trend, the combination of said tops and bottoms is rife throughout the runways of A/W 17—which means it'll be more of a thing than it was a few months back, ya dig? Designers have been analysing what cool women wear throughout the chillier months (and on any given British summer day) and have decreed that it is indeed a formula to fall back on, and aside from a styling update here and there, it's good to go.
