Back to School Countdown: Top 10 Pieces from Brooks Brothers

August 10, 2011 By: Nada Manleycomment

I was pleasantly surprised at this venerable company’s preppy-chic new offerings for little girls, and there are so many drool-worthy pieces here I had a hard time narrowing them down. As with a lot of preppy looks, the pieces look basic, but the magic comes in how the pieces are put together and how they are styled. Here, a few of my favorite items from BB for fall!
Short-sleeve sweater dress knit in our soft merino wool. Popcorn stitching on front chest. Jersey knit back, sleeves and skirt. Dry clean. Imported.
1.  Short sleeve Aran knit dress, $90: I love the ease and sweetness of a sweaterdress, and this one is adorable!
Soft merino wool knitted into a sleeveless dress. Iconic argyle knit on top with solid bottom. Ribbed detailing at neck, armhole and waist. Hits above the knee. Dry clean. Imported.
2. Sleeveless argyle dress, $80: Wear alone in the fall, or layered in the winter – a colorful take on a classic style.
A blazer with a feminine fit in soft cotton stretch velvet. Fun tie print lining. Button front. Machine wash. Imported.
3. Stretch velvet blazer, $125: This chic layering piece is soft, cozy, and a princess-perfect plum.
Our melton cape is the perfect piece for effortless fall style. Constructed of soft wool melton. Button closure. Front-slant pockets. Lined. Dry clean. Imported.
4. Melton cape, $125: Undeniably chic and timeless – this is worthy of a winter portrait.
Long-sleeve knit dress in a cool all-over stripe pattern. Made of cotton. Solid knit bib insert with button placket. Contrast solid cuffs. Dress hits above the knee. Machine wash. Imported.
5. Striped bib-front dress, $55: Sweet and easy, and perfect for fall.
Super-soft cashmere with contrasting tie detailing around the neckline goes perfect with her favorite dressy skirt. Short sleeves. Hand wash. Imported.
6. Cashmere intarsia crewneck sweater: Possibly my favorite piece – a short-sleeved pink sweater with a bow design on the front. Precious!
Our soft cashmere knit in a beautiful cardigan with ruffle bib and popcorn stitching on front chest. Long sleeves and button front. Rib trim at neck, placket, sleeves and hem. Perfect worn alone or layered with her favorite knit. Dry clean. Imported.

Long-sleeve crewneck with a girly twist. Knitted from our soft merino wool to keep her warm. Shirring details at shoulder. Rib detail at peplum waist. Dry clean. Imported.
8. Peplum sweater, $70: I love this feminine shape, which adds a littel something extra to a classic crewneck.
