The weather for the past week has been so amazing… until it hasn’t. That’s why it’s called ‘Spring’ - no sooner does it get toasty out than we ’spring’ to something a little less appealing.It’sthe perfect reason to have a handy jumper or two on hand. Layering helps ensure you are ready for the warm weather when the sun actually does peek out.
The first jumper to have in your wardrobe is the handy cardigan. Land’s End has a number of simple, flattering styles, particularly for women, and in everything from cotton to wool and cashmere. The great thing about the trusted cardigan is that you can have a little fun adding colour to your outfit by choosing bright colours or bold patterns to spruce up an outfit.Longer cardigans are a nice option too. A slightly longer version of the cardigan can carry you into the evening, as well as, serve as a good cover to that cute sundress that leaves you feeling exposed when the clouds come out.
Men might prefer a v-neck to throw on when it gets a bit chilly outside. And the options are also quite broadin the v-neck category – from something rather simple to a more sporty version. The key with a v-neck is fit – you don’t want it to be too tight or too big and roomy. You should be able to comfortably throw a v-neck on over a button down, long-sleeved shirt. And for women looking for a great gift, Kitbag has v-necks with the embroidered club crest of the team he supports.
If you are willing to spend a bit more, a cashmere sweater is a great investment. Soft and comfy it’s something you will have for years. The key with cashmere is to go for something slightly more basic and in a neutral colour. This will ensure that you wear it time and again. And cashmere is great for the whole family – especially children who tend to find wool a bit itchy.
As is the case for most of your wardrobe, make sure you buy something that is comfortable, well made and fits you properly. Grabbing that fantastic bargain because it’s a brand name won’t go far if the new jumper makes you feel suffocated!
