subject: The Cashmere Twin Set Remains A Popular Option [print this page] Very few dresses have managed to sustain the kind of popularity that the Cashmere twin set has been having despite its relative higher cost. The main reason for this is that women can wear it at any time of the year and it would look good with anything. This dress item remains a hit with women of all ages and the ones made out of wool have been particularly in demand due to the wide range of colours they are available in.
Women have no problems wearing it to work as it looks very classy and sophisticated. The combination of a cardigan and jumper matching each other in colour and made famous by Grace Kelly continues to captivate many women.
Essentially, what is the twin set all about? It has two garments - one of them is the sweater that can either be zipped or buttoned and is generally worn beneath the outer garment. This sweater or the cardigan is made out of wool, acrylic, cashmere or even cotton. The neckline can be a deep one, a crew neck one or in a V-shaped style. The outer garment too can have similar necklines but is generally made out of either cotton or cashmere. The fit is a tight one with sleeves or without them. Selection of the colour would depend upon the complexion of the wearer and many have experimented boldly going in for deep contrasting colours.
Another reason for the popularity of the cashmere twin set is the way in which it has been shown in various movies as well as TV soaps. Wearing it with the right accessories like matching pearls makes it look all the more appealing with many women have aping stars like Audrey Hepburn in doing so. After a brief lull in the seventies and eighties when it kind of disappeared from the scene, the garment made a strong comeback in the nineties and women started wearing it again with knee socks as well as plaid skirts.
The feel of the material too sets it apart from the rest. It can be worn as mentioned above anytime and while you can expose the inner garment by unbuttoning the sweater on warm days or even discard the sweater totally, during winter you can wear it as it is and bask in its warmth and comfort.
When it comes to formal wear, women have found it appropriate to wear it with either pencil skirts or pants. They have found jeans too to be an ideal match for it especially when they have to undertake outdoor travel for a short period of time. Though it can be argued that the cashmere twin set is an expensive indulgence, women are not averse to spending the money since they know they can get full value for their money spent. The outfit is durable and with proper maintenance can serve you for many years.
Cashmere twin set is a garment that can be worn in different ways as it lends itself well to experimentation.
