Re: Do You Enjoy Wearing Sweaters?

[ Edited ]

I seem to be wearing less bulky type sweaters less and less.  Some too heavy and feel like just too much on at times.  I prefer to layer with sweater cardigans  and jackets.  Going to purge after the season is over and move them out.  If not wearing then no reason to keep and taking up valuable closet space.  I donated a bunch some time ago and time to do it again.  Not too many left like that.

I have some sweaters from Candace line that I wear and Joan Rivers too.

 

I do like sweaters but just depends on style.  I layer all year long and have several lighter weight layering pieces and some are sweaters as well.

I got rid of my large collection of sweaters when I moved to Arizona.

No, not my favorite. I much prefer spring/summer dressing, and light layers for warmth than a sweater.

 

Yes, they tend to be too fuzzy, warm, etc.

 

But sometimes they are totally appropriate and cozy, as needed in our very cold Northeast weather. I do have a few of the Aaron Irish knit sweaters which I love. 

 

And in recent years, I've bought a few of the microfiber (rather than wool or real fibers), that are more soft, chenille types...they are just right for me, and most comfortable. I don't overheat or get itchy in those.

 

Good cashmere is the best, for being breathable, temperate, soft not scratchy (I only own one) and what I'll invest in if I need any new sweaters down the line.

Re: Do You Enjoy Wearing Sweaters?

I like sweaters but I am very picky!  I cannot wear wool --- too itchy and hot.  I cannot wear cashmere or angora -- I get an allergic reaction.  So, I have to have light, synthetic blends which are very soft to the touch!  I also don't like tight or really form-fitting ones.

Love my sweaters! I live in them during the colder months. Have many. All different bulks, materials, colors, styles. I just bought another one from Amazon, coming this week. Sweaters are a staple in my wardrobe.

Re: Do You Enjoy Wearing Sweaters?

Do I enjoy wearing sweaters? Girl, I bought so many sweaters this year from Banana Republic and the Gap outlet I could open my own store. I mainly wear them to the office or when I go out. Around the house I wear a heavy sweatshirt.  I couldn't imagine not having a whole wardrobe of sweaters. It's cold in the Northeast!

I LOVE wearing sweaters and I really LOVE making them.  (I also make them for charity)

 

(I'm so thankful my mother taught me how to knit and crochet when I was a child.)

I love all kinds of sweaters! I own pull over crew and v-necks, turtlenecks, and cardigans. I have solid and printed sweaters in various fabrics, weights, and sleeve lengths to wear all year round.

 

Wool, cashmere, and ramie irritate my skin so I wear cotton, acrylic, or a blend. I wear loose and form fitting sweaters depending on the rest of my outfit. I don't buy too many heavy sweaters because I overheat easily. 

Laying them flat to dry takes up space and is a pain. I have a mesh sweater stacker thing, but I can only fit two on it. Been debating buying a larger one with more stacking layers.

 

My husband doesn't like sweaters. He wears a short sleeve plain white tee under a long sleeve shirt or sweatshirt for warmth.
