If the F/W 18 runways showed us anything, it’s that the ’80s are back in a major way. Looking at the broad shoulders and vibrant neon pieces that came traipsing down the catwalk, though, we were not one bit upset about it. One of the decade’s trends we’re particularly excited for? Color-block sweaters.

Don’t get us wrong. We love a good chunky cable-knit sweater and creamy cashmere pullover, but in a season where we tend to lean toward neutral basics, a color-block sweater is a fresh way to give those fall ensembles a burst of energy. Graphic without getting too busy, these will give you an eye-catching outfit in the simplest way, not to mention you can wear them with most of the basics you already own. Style them with a simple pair of your favorite worn-in jeans and sneakers or a classic black skirt and boots. Whether you dress them up or down, these will be the perfect addition to your knitwear collection. Now, are you ready to shop?

Now this is an '80s trend we can get behind.
