Knitted sweaters for women

A knitted sweater is the type of garment you'll wear for years. Warm when needed, airy when possible, and combinable with almost everything already in your wardrobe. In this collection, you'll find knitted sweaters in various materials, thicknesses, styles, and colors. From a thin, fine-knit sweater you wear over a top in spring to a sturdy cable-knit sweater for the coldest weeks. If you're looking for knitwear with a longer lifespan, start here: knitwear you won't replace after just one season. Use the filters to refine by color, size, collar shape, or style.

Wool or mohair

The material determines how warm a sweater is, how it drapes, and how much maintenance it requires. A wool sweater insulates excellently while remaining breathable, allowing you to wear it broadly โ€” from a cool morning to a winter day. Merino wool is the finest type of wool and hardly pricks, even on bare skin, making a merino sweater wearable without anything underneath.

Mohair comes from the Angora goat and provides that characteristic airy texture with a soft sheen; the fibers trap air between the stitches, making a mohair sweater lightweight yet warm. Kid mohair is the finest quality and feels the softest. When in doubt, always check the product description for the composition: it determines both wearing comfort and how you wash the sweater.

Thin or thick: fine-knit versus chunky knit

Not every knitted sweater is a winter sweater. A thin knitted sweater or fine-knit top weighs little and works well as a layer under a blazer or over a blouse, even in spring and summer. Chunky knit sweaters do the opposite: they trap air between the stitches and thus retain significantly more warmth.

If you're looking for a warm sweater for outdoors, pay attention to the thickness of the knit, not just the material. A thin wool sweater keeps you less warm than a chunky knit model made from the same fiber.

Styles: from cable-knit to sleeveless sweater

The knitting pattern determines the look at least as much as the color. The cable-knit sweater is a classic: the twisted pattern provides structure, volume, and extra warmth, and pairs equally well with jeans as with a skirt.

The fisherman's sweater works in the same direction, with a tighter pattern and a closed neckline. Oversized models are loose-fitting and create a casual silhouette โ€” if you prefer it tighter, choose a size smaller. And then there's the sleeveless sweater, also known as a sweater vest: a knitted sweater without sleeves that you wear over a blouse or shirt, allowing you to use it for most of the year. The collar shape also makes a difference, with a choice of round neck, V-neck, boat neck, stand-up collar, or turtleneck.

Plain, striped, or colorful

If you seek simplicity in your wardrobe, choose a sweater in a plain color: black, white, beige, gray, or navy can be combined with anything and require little thought when getting dressed. The horizontal stripe is the other classic and comes in every thickness, from a narrow line to broad bands. Additionally, there are colorful sweaters in the collection that do the opposite: they form the focal point of an outfit instead of an addition. Pink, lilac, mint green, coral โ€” a knitted sweater can certainly attract attention.

Combining and caring

Knitted sweaters combine effortlessly with jeans, skirts, and dresses, and a thinner model can be easily worn over a blouse. If you want to layer, a sleeveless sweater or a fine-knit sweater is the most versatile starting point. For care, there's one golden rule that most strongly affects longevity: wash at a low temperature and dry flat. This way, the knit retains its shape, and the sweater will wear for years like it did on the first day.

Frequently asked questions about knitted sweaters

What is the difference between a knitted sweater and a sweatshirt?

A knitted sweater is made from knitwear, where yarn is formed into loops. A sweatshirt is made from a woven or knitted sweat fabric, usually with a soft inside, and has a smoother texture. Knitted sweaters come in many thicknesses and patterns, from fine-knit to chunky-knit. Sweatshirts generally have a more even surface and a sportier look.

What is the difference between a wool sweater and a mohair sweater?

Wool comes from sheep and provides good insulation at a relatively low weight. Mohair comes from the Angora goat and has an airier structure with a slight sheen and a soft, fluffy finish. Kid mohair is the finest quality of mohair and feels softer than regular mohair. A wool sweater generally has a firmer fit, while a mohair sweater drapes more loosely.

What is a tank top?

A tank top is a sleeveless knitted sweater that you wear over a blouse, shirt, or top. It is also known as a slipover or spencer and comes in fine-knit and chunky-knit versions. Because it is sleeveless, it is a layering piece that you can combine for most of the year.

Can you wear a knitted sweater in spring and summer too?

Yes. A thin knitted jumper or fine-knit top is light enough for warmer months. Short-sleeved or sleeveless styles work well as a layer over a top or under a blazer. Filter by style to find the lighter versions.

How do I wash a wool or mohair sweater?

Wash a wool or mohair sweater on the wool program of your washing machine, at a maximum of 30 degrees Celsius, or by hand in lukewarm water with a wool detergent. Do not wring. Let the sweater dry flat on a towel so that the knit does not stretch. Do not hang a wool sweater on a hanger while it is still damp.
