Stylish Yet Comfortable Jumpers And Tops
When you think of jumpers you hardly ever think of something stylish. The word conjures up knitwear that your elderly relatives made for you as a child that you inevitably thought were hideous.
Knitwear has changed a lot since then. Knitting itself is now seen as a trendy thing and the advent of fibres such as Tencel, Lycra and Modal have made knitwear once more a force to be reckoned with when it comes to clothes. Also the rediscovery of fibres such as cashmere which works with your body to ensure optimum comfort has made comfortable luxury something to aspire to in your wardrobe.
In fact knitwear covers most of the materials that we wear today – most t shirts are made using the knitting process, however in this article I want to talk about the stylish jumpers and tops are available right now to help you to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring.
One of the key looks for tops are wraps – these are longer length cardigans that can be worn in lots of different ways to ensure you can vary your look without having to change very much. Often these are in fibres such as modal jersey which is a fabric that drapes well and therefore is great for an easy comfortable yet smart look.
2011 is also going to see the return of cropped cardigans and hoodies. Hoodies should note be seen as just something that errant teens wear. There are some lovely tailored hoodies that are idea for the school run or for a walk out with the family. For the ultimate in luxury look at cashmere hoodies which not only look great but feel really soft and luxurious too.
Look out for pieces that work well and can be used as a layered piece too, the more flexible a piece of clothing is – the more you are likely to wear it and love it. Thin fabrics made from high quality fibres are the best things to layer with as they usually hang best and don’t bunch up.
The perfect jumper has to be the Summer Asymmetric Jumper from ME&EM. It is a shape that would suit all figure types and will get you through spring and chilly summer mornings and evenings. Like all perfect clothes is works well with layering too as it has a classic V neck meaning it will fit well over vest t-shirts or even dresses.
For a great range of clothes go to ME&EM. They offer chic clothing made from the best fabrics which look great whatever the occasion. Go to meandem.com for more information.
