It is not only when the days get shorter again and the earth is covered by a thick layer of snow that we feel cozy and comfortable in cuddly soft sweaters and comfortable cardigans. Fine sweaters and knitted jackets can also be worn well in the transitional period or on cool summer days and prevent cooling down. And, of course, garments made of wool are always subject to the current dictates of fashion. Cuts, colors, and patterns change from season to season. However, sweaters and cardigans always have one thing in common: they keep you warm and they are simply terribly comfortable. Yet they never lack a certain style.
Knitwear for 365 days a year
Summer is just around the corner, so why think about sweaters & co. right now? Instead of a jacket, many choose a light cardigan or a fine knit sweater in the evening hours. The high-quality material is only a few millimeters thick, but still keeps you warm. The practical machine washability of this fashion piece is impressive in everyday life, and the high level of comfort makes us reach for our favorite sweater in fine pastel tones or even in white again and again. Feminine curves are emphasized with close-fitting cuts and tailored models; men wear a shirt with a V-neck sweater over it and are always well-dressed. Long gone are the days when the sweater was only worn in the cold winter months and otherwise led a shadowy existence. The functional fabrics and first-class workmanship make the sweater an absolute basic piece 365 days a year.
Sweater Trends 2012
The coarse stitches that accompanied us in everyday life last winter, especially with the popular cable pattern, are of course no good in the warm months. Now, fashion-conscious women and men are opting for noble basic pieces in bold colors, because color blocking does not exclude sweaters and cardigans. Great colors and very delicate yarns delight fashion victims immediately. Well-known brands like an Esprit sweater and other eye-catchers ensure style and elegance even on cool summer evenings. The trend color white is a must-have, and so a sweater in this non-color should definitely not be missing from your home wardrobe. This year, it is combined with brightly colored and tight skinny pants, for which the sweater can be cut a bit looser. The "pull-overs" also pay tribute to the maritime look and come in stripes. Red, blue, and white are the colors of the 2012 fashion year anyway. Anyone who thinks of a fine sweater in mint, lilac, or pink is well-equipped for the coming months. Mix it, baby, is the motto, and so you can combine to your heart's content in the coming season.
