Thanks to many different styles and weights, sweaters are extremely versatile pieces in your wardrobe. As you shop for a women’s sweater, keep in mind where you’ll be wearing it with, how warm you need it to be, and what style might work best with the outfit you’re envisioning. Sweaters can be an investment piece in your wardrobe when they’re well constructed. Hand-knit designs like the ones from small shops on Etsy can be customized to your measurements so you have a bespoke piece of winter wear that will last for years to come.
Depending on the look you’re going for, you may want to consider the overall fit (either snug or loose), the length (cropped, hip-length, or tunic-length), the neckline shape, and the type of fiber used to create the sweater (wool, cotton, or polyester, for example). Lastly, consider the color of your sweater. For a timeless piece that fits with any capsule wardrobe, look for a classic silhouette in a neutral shade like ivory or gray. Colorful sweaters in shades of red, purple, or navy, can be a nice accent to a holiday outfit.
