UMARMUNG SWEATERS

Functioning as a year-round staple, women’s designer sweaters are an essential element to any wardrobe. A wide range of fabrications and constructions results in a seemingly endless array of unique designs that find harmony in any particular style. Turtleneck sweaters in textural wool, ohair, and alpaca provide generous warmth to round out classic tailoring, whereas playful V-neck counterparts effuse a sense of flexible individuality while sharing characteristics with always-classic cardigans. Undeniably ingenious graphic text, logos, and imagery adorn athletically-charged French terry and fleece sweatshirts to capture the current zeitgeist. Although consistently categorized as a conservative sartorial option, the modern sweater houses a multitudinous array of variation: rib knit, cable, knit, and Fair Isle bear witness to the richness of creative reinterpretation the form allows. Equal intelligence is evident in cozy crewnecks and hoodies that feature bold colorblocking as well as attention-grabbing pattern work.
