A knitted sweater is a great way to stay bundled up and cozy throughout the colder months. There are many different types of knit sweaters including those that use thick yarn or delicate materials. Wools, acrylics, cashmere, cottons and polyester-blends are all common materials used in sweaters. Knit sweaters come in a wide selection of styles including cropped, loosely woven and tunic style. A chunky knit sweater is always nice and comforting to pull on over leggings or jeans to provide warmth and a variation from a simple sweatshirt. More delicate knits look great in more formal settings including the office or evenings out for dinner. When selecting a knit sweater think about what types of bottoms you will pair it with so that it has the proper length and will not leave your midriff exposed. Sweaters look great in many different colors, stripes, prints and patterns, all depending on your personal style. The name brand and quality of a knitted sweater varies greatly and therefore so does its price. There are many great stores to look for a knitted sweater including Old Navy and Ralph Lauren. The average price for a knitted sweater is $40 to $70, but less expensive alternatives can be found during end of season clearances.
