Do’s and Don’ts: Knits and Sweaters

Do Use Cedar Blocks
Throw a few cedar blocks in your drawer of knits and sweaters for an easy and natural way to repel moths, wick away moisture, and prevent odors.

Do Dress for the Weather
Try cotton or lightweight knits with lightweight khakis in spring and summer months, and opt for wool or cashmere (and blends) with heavy corduroy during fall and winter months.

Do Layer Smart
Sweaters and knits are the perfect layering pieces to achieve a look that’s practical, comfortable, and sophisticated. In colder months, a lightweight V-neck sweater looks great over a collared shirt and under a wool overcoat. In warmer months, simply ditch the wool coat and layer the sweater over a classic white T-shirt for a more relaxed look.

Don't Tuck
Tucking in your sweater is a difficult look to pull off. Instead, tuck in the layer under your sweater and leave just the sweater untucked for an effortless and comfortable look.

Do Shave
It’s inevitable that your sweaters and knits will pill over time and with extended wear. Simply buy an inexpensive electric sweater shaver at your local drugstore and start shaving away.

Don't Wear Holiday Sweaters
During colder winter months, opt for a wool or cashmere sweater to achieve a sleek, understated look without the tinsel and lights.

Do Wear Thinner Fabrics First
Wear the thinnest fabrics closest to the skin, and then feel free to add more layers. For example, start with a T-shirt and collared shirt, then layer on the sweater, sport coat, and overcoat as needed.
