Sweater Buying Tips For Men
You can tell about the knit by looking at the marks around the neck and arms to see how the garment was knitted
. Take proper care of your sweaters by observing care instructions, you should also store your sweaters for months in plastic bags or cedar chests by keeping them folded rather than in your closet in hangers.
Below are the best sweater materials you should look out for when you go shopping for sweaters.
Cashmere
This is one of the top materials for sweaters; it also comes in different prices, qualities and styles. Cashmere garment weight is often described in "plys," with two-ply having a finer hand and three-ply and up making up a chunkier or heavier knit. Check your care label, but generally cashmere can be hand washed with a very mild soap and laid flat to dry (only recommended after six or seven wearing). About price you should expect to part with not less that $100 for one of these.
The Following are the Top Cashmere Sweater Styles
Blends
If you find cashmere a bit rich for you then I suggest you try the cashmere blends, this is cashmere mixed with silk or wool, giving you lots of luxe.
Cabled V-neck
This classic body of cashmere is a V-neck offering more layering opportunities, my suggestion for wearing (just match with a tight fitting Tee beneath and you'll be all fine).
Twinset
This is more of a preppy staple than a trendy item at the moment, but a great value nevertheless. Wear the shell alone, mix the cardigan with other layers or wear together.
Cashmere Turtleneck
This is a super-chic in black, camel or winter white. Pair with everything from menswear-print trousers to denim. The one "must-have" item to build a timeless wardrobe.
Wool
Types here include:
* Merino - a finer fiber that's good if other wool makes you itchy),
* Alpaca - strong, but soft,
* Lambswool - fine and soft,
* Shetland - usually describes a sweater made from coarser fibers
* Mohair - lustrous and long-wearing.
The Following are the Top Wool Sweater Styles
Cable Knit
Pair this chunkier sweater with sleek bottoms for a toasty look that never goes out of style.
Wool Cardigan
Layer on a belted cardigan (the newest styles are mid-thigh or shorter) for instant warmth and a pulled-together look. Some wools are combined with stretch for a sleeker finish (important in layered pieces to stay bulk-free); athletic details like hoods look fresh.
Fair Isle
Nothing says "winter" more than the classic Fair Isle pattern. Pair with refined trousers for the work week or jeans for the weekend: this look goes anywhere.
Merino Turtleneck
From a sleeveless shell to layer under a work blazer, to a brightly striped long-sleeve style for the weekend, you'll be impressed by merino's versatility. The wool is super-soft; the turtleneck silhouette is a classic.
Keep your wool sweaters folded and launder according to instructions (some wools can even be machine washed). These are often available for under $100.
