Winter warmers
Now that the autumn nights are turning slightly colder, we are all thinking of what to wrap up warm with that wonâ??t be to restricting but will keep us snug.  A cardigan is an extremely versatile garment to have in ones wardrobe through the year. A cleverly chosen cardigan can be worn across all seasons, either on its own over a lightweight singlet during the long summer evenings or in turn worn over a polo-neck and under your winter coats, giving you that much needed insulation. A quality simply designed cardigan will last for years if cared for properly. The best cardigans are the ones that feel great but donâ??t need that much attention when washing; therefore the ideal cardigans are usually machine or hand-knitted from a mixture of wool, cotton and acrylic. Cardigans and chunky knitwear made from cashmere can be extremely difficult to look after and rather pricy too.
Cardigans are in fact worn by both sexes, however generally appear to be preferred more by women. Cardigans over the years have been popular in twee fashion (fashion inspired by Indie pop music) and are normally fashioned in button-up or tie-up styles. Nevertheless, the knitwear garment making yet another come back this season is, the good old â??ponchoâ??. The poncho is a very versatile item of clothing; it is easily put on, taken off and with no fuss or restrictive elements to it either.
There is some affordable stylish knitwear that is ideal for the coming seasonal changes ahead. You can choose from thin knits for the autumn and move to a thicker chunky knitwear when winter is in full swing.
Regardless of whether you decide on a cardigan, jumper or a poncho, make sure you are wrapped up warm for the coming colder months!
