Fit and Silhouettes
The cut of knitwear shapes the upper body and creates a drape toward the lower body. A length that hits at the waist highlights the waistband of jeans and skirts. A cut with width and a drape from the shoulders adds volume and room in the sleeves. Buttonless cardigans fall along the body and create lines against tops and dresses. Boat necks and necklines open up toward the collarbones, while turtlenecks wrap around the neck under a blazer. Slits on the sides allow for movement across the hips.
Materials and Textures
The fibers in the knitwear influence the weight and movement of the garments. Cashmere and mohair give the surface texture with air pockets that insulate against the cold without adding weight. Alpaca and merino drape against the body and retain their shape with wear. Cotton and viscose in knitwear provide cooling during transitional seasons and drape smoothly against the skin. Textured weaves such as ribbing, lace patterns, and cable knits catch the light and add movement to the fabric.
Wearing and Styling
Sweaters and cardigans take on different roles depending on how you style them. At the office, a cashmere or merino sweater worn under a blazer pairs well with dress pants and stilettos. For everyday wear, a cardigan worn over a T-shirt or top, paired with wide-leg jeans and sneakers, creates a balanced silhouette. For evenings and special occasions, layer a sweater over a dress and pair it with boots to create textural contrast. Rolling up the sleeves and switching up your jewelry will help tailor the outfit to the day’s plans.
