Why I Simply Adore Wearing Knit Sweaters

Perhaps one of the most comfortable clothing out there are made from knit fabric. Unlike woven fabric which have limited ability to extend and to stretch itself, most knit fabrics are flexible and can stretch in order to accommodate the shape of the one wearing it. Because of this characteristic of knit clothing, they are generally considered as a "one size fits all" kind of garment and they rarely suffer from crumpling or wrinkling. Having said that, the average light knit sweater can be worn all throughout the year, while chunkier and bigger ones tend to be the preference for the colder Winter months.

The average knit fabric can be created out of so many varied materials. From the most accessible ones such as cotton, wool and polyester to the more expensive ones such as the coveted cashmere, one can choose from a variety of materials to make sure that the material used for the knit fabric is what they truly need.

Choosing Knit Sweater

When choosing a knit sweater, one should put in mind not only the color, texture or the cut of the clothing. More importantly, you should also take into consideration your body type and shape in order to really make the most out of the knit fabric. I, for one, am not too shapely as I have a thinner body frame compared to other people. I always take into consideration this thing in mind so that I can avoid the knit sweaters that would look awkward for my body type. What would look good on other woman might look unflattering for my body shape, so I tend to take some of these things into consideration too.

For example, if you are a woman who is blessed with an hourglass figure, what would suit you best is a knit sweater that is hugging your body in order to better accentuate and emphasize your body shape. If you can find a knit sweater that is thin and belted around the waist, that would be the perfect one that you should wear. In contrast, if you are like me who has a body type that borders around the lean and thin, wearing some over sized knit sweater is a great way to make your upper body look bigger and your frame look thicker (if that is the effect that you are going for). Combining an oversized knit sweater top with a slim pants or some skater skirt will almost always work for the better, as long as you can choose the color combinations well.

In retrospect, I strongly believe that knit sweaters really work well when used as a substitute for cardigans or even zipped up hoodies. But even more wonderful is the fact that knit sweaters can extend and stretch, minimizing the chances for tear, wrinkles and crumpled edges. If you want something to add to your collection, I would recommend that you look at this side slit knit sweater from http://en.littleblack.co.kr and see if it is something that you would fancy.
