What are you all dressing up as this year?

An Unexpected Combination

Today's style inspiration comes from the unexpected combination of a chambray shirt and a cashmere, patchwork sweater. One part preppy, one part cool, this combination is the essence of style this season.

Here at Qi, we love the juxtaposition of a tailored, all-American denim shirt and an oversized cardigan with suede patches.

Below we've put together an easy look that is reminiscent of this collegiate style:

Qi's Scott Patchwork Cardigan-$380

Mulberry Alexa Bag-$1,200

J Brand Corduroy Pant-$171

Sunset Chambray Shirt-$44.50

Grenson Leather Brogues-$280.50

Qi's Scott Patchwork Cardigan is perfect for this look. This cashmere, boyfriend cardigan features leather buttons and suede elbow patch details. Talk about luxe!

How are you incorporating the preppy trend into your wardrobe?

An Indian Summer

Just when we thought fall was here, the weather has treated us to an Indian Summer. Though this pleasant weather is more than welcome, it can put a bit of a wrench in a fashionista's fall wardrobe.

That's where transitional dressing comes in!

Qi's Scoresby Asymmetric Dress is a lightweight cashmere dress that is perfect for this temperate weather. Its loose fit makes it casual and comfortable, while its open cowl back and side slit make it sexy. It looks great with a pair of studded pumps!


Scoresby Asymmetric Dress-$425
Sam Edelman Studded Velvet Pump [CUSP.com]-$225

Ainsley's Libya Dress-$300

Ainsley's Winfred Skirt-$295

Ainsley's Rohan Shirt-$180

Our other two picks come from our sister line, Ainsley.

The Libya Dress is one of our best-selling pieces. It is a patterned, lightweight wool-blend dress, featuring a V-neck and long sleeves. Its unique paisley and floral patterns make it a little bohemian and the perfect look for an Indian Summer!

For an unexpected combination, pair a quilted cashmere skirt (like Ainsley's Winfred Skirt) with a silk shirt and edgy leather boots. Who says sportswear can't be luxe?

Fur-ocious

The fur trend is bigger than ever this season. Whether real, vintage or faux, fur has been shown at the fall runway shows of Alexander Wang, Derek Lam, Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch and more.



Here at Qi we're cozying up with sumptuous cashmere and luxe fur. In our fall 2011 collection, we combined oversized sweaters, ribbed patchwork cardigans and cable knit turtlenecks with fur accessories to create a chic look that conjures up the image of Greta Garbo lounging in her dressing room while wearing a fox fur scarf and a tweed jacket.

Qi Presents Fall 2011

Qi New York is proud to introduce its Fall 2011 collection. This season, Qi returns to its roots of beautiful, soft, luxurious cashmere. By traveling the world—from the arid cliffs of Italy to Inner Mongolia—Qi has always harvested top quality natural fibers to create beautiful and comfortable clothing. This season celebrates the evolution of the brand and its focus on cashmere. With its innovative designs and timeless appeal, Qi is sure to have you coveting the warmth and lightness of its sumptuous wool.

The fall line is an urban romance—a marriage between conservative masculinity and edgy femininity. The charming boyishness of blazers with suede elbow patches and chunky cable knit sweaters lend an air of ruggedness to an otherwise feminine collection. Featuring runway trends such as the maxi dress, boxy crop tops, and cape sweaters, the styles are irresistibly modern without sacrificing their timeless appeal. The colors of Qi’s Fall 2011 knits are alluringly earthy and are ideal for creating transitional, relaxed looks.





Qi has created a collection that has a nostalgic feel with suede patchwork, tweed colored yarn, and vintage details. Whether cropped, oversized, or tailored to a T, the clothes are versatile, wearable, and most importantly, memorable! The garments are high quality investment pieces that are bound to make a statement with each and every wear.

Qi stands out with its use of fine fabrics—a niche the brand has carved out for itself since its beginnings in 2002. The company’s innovation in yarns, such as Qi’s specially formatted and exclusive moulené, is laudable. By mixing layers of colors, Qi has created a natural palette that gives the Donegal cashmere a one-of-a-kind look. There is no question that Qi’s expertise in premiere materials and its progressive shapes in design make the garments of undeniable value.



In returning to its roots in cashmere and carefully crafted yarns, Qi has succeeded in creating a line of easy pieces that will withstand the test of time. Find it at select retailers and at www.qicashmereshop.com.
