Re: DESIGN YOUR PERFECT SWEATER

I bought five sweaters  last year.  Three are the style shown. Gray and camel are different styles but very similar. I can wear open or closed and use as a light weight “coat”.

Re: DESIGN YOUR PERFECT SWEATER

I'm not a huge fan of sweaters either. I think I own 2 and it's been at least a couple years since I wore either one. I should go look, I may have donated them due to lack of use.

Re: DESIGN YOUR PERFECT SWEATER

All the Irish sweaters that my Mom bought for me are my perfect sweaters. All the ones she owned are too.

Re: DESIGN YOUR PERFECT SWEATER

I loved these so much I bought two of these Linea Louis Dell'Olio tunic cowl neck sweaters years ago, one in this dark green and one in black with blue-toned embroidery.  I wish it were colder so I could wear them again.

Very flattering.  They always made me look slim.  Item #A72849

 

They look so much better in real life than in this silly QVC image with the cowl neck standing up like this.  Some of these QVC photographers don't seem to know much about fashion.  Ever noticed that?

Re: DESIGN YOUR PERFECT SWEATER

I love sweaters..natural fabrics only..cotton, wool or silk.  I like solid colors in Navy, gray, wine or teal.  Love argyle sweaters too.  Classic styles.

 

No V necks....must be pull over or cardigan....mid hip..ribbed cuffs, No pockets and not oversized.
