Knitted jumpers for women

The warm piece of winter

The sweater is the ultimate warm item in a winter wardrobe. It can be worn alone over jeans, layered over a shirt or a turtleneck, or tied around the shoulders in mid-season. Its warmth and style depend on three elements: the fibre, wool, cotton or blend, the knit, fine or bulky, smooth or textured, and the cut, fitted, straight or loose.

Knit types and patterns

The jersey knit, smooth and thin, gives a light and easy-to-layer sweater. The ribbed knit, like on the Selfhood Rib Block, with vertical ribs, hugs the silhouette. The cable and textured knits, like those from the Holebrook Swedish knitwear brand, or the s.Oliver with knit pattern, add depth and warmth. The argyle pattern, in diamonds, like on the Gant wool sweater, is a classic Scottish-inspired design. The lace sweater Guess embraces femininity.

Collars, fibres and care

The turtleneck, like on the COMMA and s.Oliver, keeps the neck warm. The round neck, the most versatile, allows a shirt collar to peek out. The V-neck, like the Le Temps des Cerises Miry, elongates the neck. Wool, like in the Gant Argyle, is the warmest and breathes naturally; organic cotton, from Armedangels and Colorful Standard, is great for mid-season. Wool sweaters should be hand-washed or machine washed on the wool cycle, in cold water, dried flat and stored folded.

Frequently asked questions

Which sweaters pill the least?

Long fibres and tight knits hold up better, like merino wool or combed cotton. Blends rich in acrylic or loose knits pill more quickly due to friction.

How to wash a wool sweater without shrinking it?

Wash it by hand or on a wool program, in cold water with a special detergent, without scrubbing. Squeeze it in a towel and then dry it flat, away from a radiator.

How to wear a turtleneck sweater?

Worn alone over jeans or wide trousers, it’s enough to make an outfit. It can also be layered under a slip dress, a blazer or a coat, like the turtlenecks COMMA or s.Oliver.

Which sweater cut to choose according to your silhouette?

A fitted sweater highlights a slim figure; a loose model can be tucked into a high-waisted jean to accentuate the waist. Thick knits add volume, while fine knits elongate.

How to store your sweaters without distorting them?

Fold them rather than hang them up, as the weight of the knit will stretch the shoulders on a hanger. Store them in a drawer or on a shelf, with a sachet of lavender or cedar to repel moths.
