"Advice on Buying and Shopping for Sweaters"

Womens sweaters are comfortable, cozy fashion pieces that add texture and richness to your outfits.

Basic turtlenecks sweaters, cardigans and v-neck sweaters (wrap sweaters are quite popular and flatter most shapes) are examples of seasonless pieces and are pretty much some of the most important fashion pieces in any woman's wardrobe. Cottons for summer, wools for winter and cashmere as an all-arounder.

Basic sweaters work as a blank canvas where you can lay your favorite accessories and create different looks with the same piece! They are also your quick-fixes when you want to balance out or tone down a too-flashy outfit or when you're on the go to work or school.

However, never be afraid to try other styles that look stylish and up-to-date. Fashion should be a reflection of yourself :-) It's ok to be bold sometimes, so create a fashionable statement with a colorful sweater with interesting details like gold buttons, pockets, prints, fabric texture or other fun details.

	V-neck Sweaters Sweater essential! They're perfect for work, school, lunch with friends... anything! I recommend choosing pullover sweater with V-neck. A V-neck flatters your body and face shape -- creating a leaner line on your frame. U-necks are another option which slightly add volume on your upper half. Generally, it compliments slimmer body shapes. Honey, don't even think about high crew-necks. Ugh. I wouldn't even try wearing it alone. A crew-neck make your chest look flat, cuts your neck in halves and hides all of your beautiful assets. It suits slimmer, taller and leaner shapes best. Note: The neckline leaves a lot of room for accessories. Dress it up with stylish necklaces Click here for more advice on v-neck sweaters Shop Sweater Dresses
	Cardigan Sweaters Sweater essential! Cardigan sweaters are your ultimate quick fixers! They're perfect for covering up, layering and toning down a a dressy/eye-catching outfit without changing the whole look of your outfit.

	Turtleneck Sweaters Sweater essential! They're great for anything really. Dates, work, school, layering, you name it! A turtleneck sweater in black and with comfortable fabric is a must in every woman's wardrobe. Don't you just hate to wear something that feels like sand paper against your skin? Me too! And it doesn't get any better if it has a high neck. So that's why you should make sure the fabric feels comfortable. Note: Take extra precautions if you have a wide/round face shape or short neck. A turtleneck will only emphasize your face shape and add width to your neck -- making it look even shorter than it already is. If you must wear it pull your hair up in a ponytail, add a pair of long earrings and a pendant necklace. And for your short neck, choose a fitted and stretchy turtleneck in dark solid colors to flatter it.

	Womens Fashion Vests Sweater essential! Vests are great as office wear, for layering or for an unexpected outfit twist. I personally don't own any pullover vests because I prefer button-down/open vests as they give you the flexibility to create a casual layering look. Choose closed vests if you're aiming for a preppy look. Note: Don't be stuck with the shirt and vest combination! Try it with a v-neck, cute camisole or turtleneck top. Very chic!
