From trending knit sweater vests to comfy flat boots and blanket-style capes, scroll below for the full rundown of comfy-meets-cool items that fashion girls are loving, wearing, and Instagramming right now.
Sweater Vests
Whether you opt for a basic neutral hue or a cool '70s print, knit sweater vests are the fashion-girl It item of the season. Style it over a long sleeve tee, a relaxed button-down, or a vintage-inspired blouse for a cool-meets-cozy look.

Flat pull-on boots with comfy, chunky soles are trending hard this season—and we couldn't be happier. They add a cool-girl edge to every look—and are as comfortable and practical as they are stylish.
