Pappus
Pappus wrap cardigan, $99
"These lightweight knits are perfect for the transition into snuggly fall weather," says Hunt of the natural linen and wool knits line Pappus. "I'm especially loving the wrap cardigan — such a fun twist on a closet staple." Each Pappus garment is made on a manual knitting machine in the designers' studio in Ogre, Latvia; smart details, like a subtle shoulder stripe on a raglan sleeve or the casual-cool slouch of a rolled-edge beanie, set their pieces apart.

Personal Record leggings, $72
After Becca Johnson noticed a real lack of activewear in her size, she drew on her 10-plus years of fashion industry experience to create one-of-a-kind leggings from size 8 - 26, in bold, energetic prints. "These statement-making prints will add some oomph to your day, whether you're running at the gym or running errands," Hunt says. The best part? Johnson didn't cut any corners with the construction: Leggings are equipped with convenient hidden waistband pockets, double-layered diamond gussets for strength and flexibility, and flat seams and high waists for comfort.
