12 Sweaters For Fall

Sweater weather is here and I couldn’t be more excited.  As soon as the temps dip into the 60’s I’m busting out my coziest sweater.  Anyone else?  My sweater collection is one in which I am very proud.  I search for the ideal sweater each year and if I’m lucky I find a couple.  I keep them in my collection and add on the next year.

Sweaters For Fall

The true sign of a classic sweater is when brands bring back the exact same sweater or a slight variation of it year after year.  And I can proudly say that many of my sweaters fall into this category.  To keep my sweaters in perfect condition year after year I take really good care of them.  Here are my tips.

• Wash every other wear if possible
• Dry clean if you are in doubt about washing it
• Fold your sweaters flat in a drawer, never hang them
• Removing pilling with a sweater stone, not an electronic device 
• Steam, never iron your sweater

The Perfect Sweater 

So how do you find the perfect sweater when there are a million choices?  You stick with the classics.  The classics include fit, style and color.  For example a camel color sweater will be in style for years to come, where a fuchsia sweater might fade away in a year or two.  You also want to focus on style.  While I’m obsessed with puff sleeves right now, I’m not buying a puff sleeve sweater because it might not be in style next year.  

Here are my tips for selecting a timeless sweater:

• Colors – Stick with creams, greys, blacks or camel colors
• Style – Stick with crew necks, v-necks and turtlenecks for staple sweaters
• Fit – Get a healthy mix of semi fitted and oversized, both will always be in style
