Finding the right fit when shopping for v neck sweaters

A v neck sweater should fit you correctly.  You don’t want to get an oversized sweater that drapes over your body like a curtain and hides all your best features.  However; you don’t want a slim form fitting v neck sweater that shoes off more of your curves than you’d like.  This quick buying guide will help you find the best fit for you when shopping for a v neck sweater.

The correct fit will skim over your curves but not hug them.  You should not wear a skin tight v neck sweater, save that for your turtlenecks.  It should not be too baggy either however; because this look is unflattering and does nothing for your figure.

The shoulders on a white v neck sweater should fit perfectly on the outer edge of your shoulder.  The sleeves should fit right as with any other long sleeve top.  A v neck long sleeve shouldn’t be too loose fitting. If you find v neck sweater women’s fabric that stretches too easily or just seems loose around your midsection, you can actually add a belt because this helps really define your waist.

Fabric matters as well.  Cashmere like mine will pill and fuzz over time if I’m not extra careful with it. Any type of wool will eventually fall apart.  The key is preserving them as long as you can.  To do this, keep it in a closed container and throw a couple of cedar balls inside to keep moths away.

Next, a cashmere v neck might not go with everything even if it is black.  I’ve found it to go best with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt.  Footwear doesn’t matter too much as long as its not an old pair of sneakers.  Try to match it with fabrics it goes well with.  A thick cotton blazer might look too overpowering with a soft cashmere sweater.
