What: Early millennial street style star/fashion consultant/ stylist/casting director Natalie Joos’ ’70s-inspired knitwear label.

Why: Next to the overly trendy, Vetements-esque oversized look, Joos’ body- flattering knits in tangy hues like burnt orange and olive green feel fresh, and would perk up anyone’s stash of staples. Started after Joos’ fruitless hunts for the perfect fitted sweater, the label focuses on three styles – the turtleneck, long-sleeved crew neck and short-sleeved crew neck – all retro-tinged without looking vintage. Bonus? The yarn is dense enough to go bra-free.
