The piece
How to choose and wear a sweater
A knitted pullover in wool, cashmere or cotton. It adds texture and warmth, and it's what makes an autumn outfit look finished.
How to choose
- Merino wool is warm, fine and layers well; lambswool is cosier and thicker; cashmere softest.
- A crew neck is the most versatile; a V-neck shows a shirt collar.
- Grey, navy, camel and cream are the neutrals of knitwear.
How sweater should fit
Shoulder seams on the shoulder, ribbed hem at the belt, not clinging at the stomach.
A slightly relaxed fit; a front tuck with high-waisted bottoms defines the waist.
Common mistakes
- ✕Pilled or stretched knitwear.
- ✕A long sweater hem hanging below a shorter jacket.
- ✕A bulky knit under a slim blazer.
Care: Hand wash or wool cycle, dry flat; fold, never hang.
In a capsule: Autumn and winter capsules rely on two or three sweaters in neutrals.
