King Originally worn to keep warm when less than an overcoat was required, sweaters are now a highly fashionable item and are not confined solely to winter wear. Sweaters today are as popular as or more popular than they were in the late fifties and early sixties. During this time, sweaters were an essential element of the female ward­robe, just as they are now. Today, entire outfits are coordinated with sweaters be­ing their main component. A few years ago we simply dragged one along on chil­ly days because our mothers ordered us to. Sweaters come in a variety of fabrics: cashmere, angora, lambs wool, nylon, silk, rayon, wool, acrylic, polyester and colton. These fabrics are often blended in order to achieve maximum effect - an item of clothing appropriate for almost anything and anywhere, be it school, work or play. Silk, lambswool, cashmere and angora blends are very soft to the touch and feel very good against ones' skin. but be cautious with these fabrics. These blends tend to be costly, over· priced and expensive to maintain, as most. if not all of their cleaning instruc­tions read: DRY CLEAN ONLY. Cot· ton is the most affordable and is usually machine washable. Watch wool for possible shrinkage. While sweaters for men remain the somewhat same basic pullover, this is not the case for women. Women's sweaters have taken on a dramatic change - long sleeves, short sleeves, sleeveless, V-necks, scoop necks, cowl and turtlenecks, bUl­ton down fronts, button down backs and (one of my personal favorites) plunging V-neck backs which can be accented with a tank shirt underneath. This change in sweaters has resulted in a change for dresses, as the sweater dress has had.to keep up with the changes in the new sweater. With regard to color, men's sweaters have taken a tremendous step away from the traditional male colors of brown, black and grey. Today's colors are bold, flattering and downright pleasing to the eye. Colors such as plum, turquoise and teal ",ow appear in the men's depart­ment, sometimes in patt(TOS or solids, and often in a blend of colors. They coordinate weU with practically any fabric and can be worn alone or over shirts. They are also stylish under blazers for an in-between casuaJ and dressy look. Colors for women are however a bit more serious. Basic solid colors appear to be a thing of the past as colors such as fuschia, jade, mustard, leal and crimson emerge in bold solids and the busiest prints imaginable. The best thing about these non­traditional solids and prints is that they match everythin~, giving life to your old solid skirts and pants, especially those jeans that refused to fade. Large fitting sweaters also go very well with today's close fitting stirrup pants which coincidentally happen to be of the same type of fabric. Sweaters can be the answer to the limited wardrobe - they give the im­pression that one has unlimited apparel, when in fact, it's only a few sweaters and related separates that you mix and match at your own discretion. Like other clothing items, sweaters can be quite expensive. One can defray this cost by bargain hunting. Some stores of­fer specials of "buy two, get one free" and sometimes "buy one, gel one free. ,. Then there's also the mark-down rack. In addition to these specials, there still remains the end of season clearance sales and the introductory season offers. One fascinating fact is that traditional sweater fabric is now being used for other items of clothes such as pants and skirts. Is this any surprise given the historical attractiveness of sweaters? It's only natural that the demand for this Le.tS Stc.. .... t Tke..

Most importantly, keep in mind, the possiblities for sweaters are endless. En­joy! fabric exists. If you're tired of the same old look of your sweaters year after year and want to spruce up this look, add a decorative pin or scarf. These items enhance the attrac­tiveness of even the plainest sweaters. Unlike some fashionable items, sweaters are not limited to a parti.cular class or age group. They are to be worn and enjoyed by everyone, even toddlers.
