Yes, once again, the time has come to go in search of the perfect sweater and definitely deserves an ad hoc shopping column. Every autumn the story is the same: the sweaters bought the previous winter are unusable, ruined, and have lost their fit. This happens because buying affordable sweaters is an operation that must be done by reading the descriptions of the materials of the garments you want to buy like a bible. The idea that cashmere is economically prohibitive and that you are therefore forced to buy poor quality pullovers which you will be forced to discard the following year, abandon it! There are excellent quality sweaters at super affordable prices that will save you all this trouble in the winters to come.
Let’s start with the ABC: what are the materials that compose a quality sweater? First of all, to keep warm (let’s not forget the useful as well as the pleasant) it is necessary that a sweater is made up of at least 40 or 50% wool or cashmere. For the types of raw materials opt for cotton, alpaca, wool (merino), cashmere, angora, mohair, viscose and necessarily avoid large percentages of acrylic (it is easily damaged and does not keep warm at all). There are many models of sweaters, we have chosen to start from evergreens: pullovers. Here are 5 simple, quality, and absolutely affordable sweater models to buy:
100% Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater
