The Timeless Appeal of Women's Knitwear

Knitwear, since becoming popular in the early 20th Century, has never lost its appeal to women. Women's knitwear was for a long time associated with women who liberated themselves from the restrictive, confining clothing of the Victorian and Edwardian eras and who chose wardrobes that were comfortable and attractive as well as very practical.

Knitted fabrics are renowned for their elasticity. They flatter the figure and are able to stretch without losing their shape. Knitted fabrics are also famously warm, especially when they are made from sheep or alpaca wool, both of which retain their insulating properties even when they become wet.

Knitted fabrics have a characteristic comfort that makes them a natural choice for the layer of clothing worn closest to the body. Many women's knitwear designs are lingerie and other undergarments. Because they can be remarkably warm when made of wool, even thin garments provide a way to keep comfortable in cold weather without donning bulky, shape-concealing garments.

Knitted fabrics made of linens offer the same flexibility and comfort, but insulate much less than does wool, making them appropriate for warmer weather. Like their more insulating cousins, these garments are excellent for flattering anyone's figure and are sturdy enough to endure years of wear.

Women's knitwear has undergone a great deal of design transformation over the years. Knitted fabrics can incorporate different mixes of color and even different fabrics to create a unique look. The elasticity of a knitted fabric—some garments can expand to over 500% of their usual size without deforming—makes them a great choice for those looking for garments appropriate for people taking up a weight-loss program and for maternity wear.

Knitwear, of course, need not be body-hugging. Many designs that are loose and flowing are available. These designs still benefit from the durability and flexibility of the knitted fabric from which they are constructed, but in these applications it tends to give a garment a beautiful sense of flow and softness. For outer jackets that are comfortable, natural and practical, there are few choices that can match knit fabrics in all these regards.

Knitted sweaters have always been very popular. They can present an elegant, professional or casual image depending on the cut and color and can be combined with other garments to readily change the effect.

There is nothing quite as comfortable as a cardigan sweater. Their warmth makes them appropriate for indoor or outdoor use and their softness makes them comfortable enough to wear all day, even when that day is spent lounging around. Because they are made with fashion in mind, they provide a casual alternative that is appropriate for going around town, shopping or visiting restaurants.

Women's knitwear, of any fabric or design, is affordable. This affordability is added to by the long lasting nature of the garments. Because they don't stretch out of shape easily, they can be worn for years. In particular, cardigans have a way of becoming a garment that is loved for a lifetime.
