Women's jumpers and sweatshirts, from polo neck to V-neck

Pullover or sweatshirt: which one to choose?

The women's pullover is knitted in a more or less thick fabric, while the sweatshirt is made from fleece, a soft jersey that is brushed on the inside. The pullover is more stylish and keeps you warmer at the same thickness; the sweatshirt is more casual and easier to wash.

The hooded sweatshirt, whether zipped or not, is the go-to piece for weekends and active days. The non-hooded sweatshirt with a round neck is easier to wear in town, over a shirt or with a skirt.

What material for a warm pullover?

A wool pullover is still the warmest: wool retains air, keeps warmth even when damp, and breathes better than synthetic fibres. Merino wool, being finer, itches much less than regular wool and can be worn directly on the skin. Cashmere, even softer and lighter, requires delicate care.

For mid-season, cotton, especially organic cotton, gives a breathable pullover that’s easy to wash. Viscose gives a fluid drape and a soft touch but is less warm. Blends with some synthetic fibre are more resistant to pilling and deform less.

Round neck, V-neck, or turtleneck: which neck to choose?

The neck shape depends on your body type and what you wear underneath. The turtleneck rises on the neck and protects against the cold; it elongates the silhouette in a fine knit and can be worn under a jacket or coat.

The round neck is the most versatile: it can be worn alone or over a shirt with the collar peeking out. The V-neck pullover exposes the neck, elongates the torso, and highlights a necklace; it’s flattering for a fuller bust, balancing it out nicely.

What pullover style suits your shape?

The cut is chosen based on the desired effect: a fitted pullover highlights the silhouette, an oversized pullover creates volume and a laid-back look. Oversized styles are best worn with fitted bottoms, like leggings or skinny jeans, to balance the proportions.

A cropped pullover that stops at the waist pairs well with high-waisted trousers and skirts. A long pullover or tunic covers the hips and can be worn over leggings or slim trousers. If you’re petite, a fine knit and a length at the hip elongate you more than a bulky long knit.

How to wear a women's pullover in a chic way?

For a chic look, tuck a fine pullover into a midi skirt or a tailored trouser and add a belt to define your waist. A round neck over a white shirt, chosen from the tops and shirts, gives a polished look for the office.

For the weekend, a chunky pullover in chunky knit looks great with jeans and ankle boots. Colourful or patterned jacquard pullovers can become the standout piece of a simple outfit: keep the rest of the look neutral.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to prevent a wool pullover from itching?

Choose a fine wool, like merino, which has finer fibres and itches much less against the skin. If you still feel sensitive, wear a cotton t-shirt or underlayer underneath and wash the pullover with a special wool detergent that softens the fibres.

How to wash a wool pullover without it shrinking?

Wash it in cold water, by hand or on a wool cycle, with a gentle detergent, without rubbing or twisting. Lay it flat to dry on a towel, never hanging it or using a tumble dryer: the heat and weight of the water will felt and misshape it.

How to remove pilling from a pullover?

Use a lint razor or a knit comb on the pullover laid flat, without pressing, following the direction of the knit. To limit their return, wash the pullover inside out and avoid wearing it under a shoulder strap or belt that rubs in the same spot.

What size to take for an oversized effect?

If the model isn’t cut wide, take one or two sizes up from your usual size, checking the sleeve length, which may become too long. A model sold as oversized should be taken in your usual size: its width is already designed in.

Can a sweatshirt be worn in a dressed-up style?

Yes, as long as you choose a plain sweatshirt without a hood and made from thick fleece that drapes well. Worn with a pleated skirt, tailored trousers, or under a blazer, it adds a relaxed touch to a smart outfit.
