A sweater is an indispensable item in the autumn-winter period.

This wardrobe item should not only be warm, but also comfortable. Therefore, you need to approach the choice carefully.

Particular attention should be paid to the thickness of the fabric. For example, models made of thin materials often look quite elegant, but it is important to consider that such a thing will not last long.

Short sweater models are becoming increasingly popular. It should be remembered that such clothes are unlikely to keep you warm during long walks.

It is necessary to approach the choice of the material of the product responsibly. Let's consider the most popular fabrics to identify their pros and cons.

Natural wool

Such a sweater will be warm and durable. If we consider the disadvantages, then there is a possibility that the fabric will prick unpleasantly when in contact with the skin. Therefore, it is better to wear a sweater made of natural wool over a shirt or T-shirt.

Viscose

Clothes made from such material will be warm and comfortable. However, the fabric requires special care and may become deformed if washed incorrectly.

Acrylic

This is a popular and affordable material that can be a cheaper alternative to wool. It won't itch, but it won't provide good protection from the cold. An acrylic sweater would be better for warmer weather.
