Women Cardigans & Sweaters

Online Shopping for Women's Sweaters, Cardigans, and Knits

Buying women's sweaters is very common in winter. Knits and sweaters have been a suitable cover for cold seasons for a long time. The wool used to make sweaters helps retain body heat, which is why they are so popular. The various models of women's sweaters are diverse and suitable for different occasions, allowing them to be styled with various types of clothing.

Comparison of Women's Knits, Sweaters, and Cardigans In reality, some words in the Persian language, influenced by both Western and traditional Iranian cultures, have evolved and created terms that are similar or almost identical in meaning. For example, it is well-known that "bafte" (knit) or "bafte-ni" (knitted) refers to a garment made from thick yarn like wool, but words like "pullover" and "cardigan," which have Latin roots, convey similar meanings.
Therefore, there isn't much difference between "bafte," "bafte-ni," and "pullover" except for the models, which is natural. Below, we will introduce various models of these items.

Types of Women's Sweaters and Cardigans

Oversized or Loose Women’s Sweater

Oversized sweaters are very chic and stylish. They can be worn alone or layered over a shirt. You can also wear a shirt underneath an oversized sweater and let the shirt’s collar peek out. An oversized sweater for women gives a relaxed, baggy look, often referred to as "louche" or "slouchy" in young fashion culture.

Turtleneck Sweater

Turtleneck sweaters are among the most popular types of women's sweaters. These sweaters have a high, standing collar that keeps your neck warm. They can be found in both loose and fitted designs and come in fine or chunky knits. Turtlenecks are particularly suited for colder weather and can be seen in various knitted or cardigan styles for women.

Mohair Sweater

Mohair is a soft and delicate wool that makes incredibly warm sweaters. Mohair sweaters are light, yet they provide excellent warmth.

Cropped or Short Women’s Sweater

Cropped sweaters are half-length designs, popular in recent years. A cropped sweater extends up to your pants waistband or sometimes even shorter.

Bell Sleeve Sweater

Bell sleeve refers to any sweater or blouse with large, wide cuffs. While not extremely common, some brands make limited editions of bell-sleeve sweaters, which you can find in our store.

Crew Neck Women’s Sweater

A crew-neck sweater features a ribbed knit around the neck, with a similar knit on the sleeve cuffs and sometimes at the bottom of the sweater. This ribbed design helps prevent cold air from entering underneath the sweater.

V-Neck Women’s Sweater

For a classic, distinctive look, consider a V-neck sweater. You can layer a V-neck sweater over an Oxford shirt and let the collar show. One key feature of V-neck sweaters is their slim fit, making them suitable for layering with other garments.

Fine Knit Sweater

Many of us remember grandmothers knitting sweaters for their grandchildren. In the fashion world, these are now produced by machines, allowing for finer, lighter sweaters. Fine-knit sweaters are thin and delicate and are ideal for indoor events, parties, or wearing under a jacket. They are also great for fall and spring when the weather can be unpredictable.

Chunky Knit Sweater

As mentioned earlier, chunky knit sweaters are made with thick wool and knitting needles, resulting in a coarser fabric. Chunky sweaters are a classic and stylish option, often made with wool or cashmere.

Types of Women's Cardigans

Zippered Women’s Cardigan

When you hear "cardigan," you may think of a knit or wool design, but a zippered cardigan is a knit sweater with a zipper at the front, allowing you to zip it up or leave it open.

Buttoned Women’s Cardigan

Instead of a zipper, buttoned cardigans use large, visible buttons. This classic style is less common but still popular among those aiming for an "old money" aesthetic. Buttoned cardigans are usually thinner, as it's harder to attach large buttons to thick yarn.

Oversized (Boyfriend) Women’s Cardigan

Have you ever worn your brother’s or boyfriend's cardigan? Oversized, boyfriend-style cardigans are becoming popular in Western fashion. These cardigans are typically longer, with wide shoulders for a relaxed fit.

Hooded Women’s Cardigan

A popular trend this year is hooded knit cardigans. Imagine wearing a hoodie that's also knitted. Hooded women’s cardigans feature a knitted hood that can be used instead of a scarf or shawl in colder weather.

Open Front Cardigan

Some cardigans, unlike those with zippers or buttons, are made without fasteners, leaving the front open. These open-front cardigans offer a relaxed, casual look.

Difference Between Wool, Mohair, and Cashmere Sweaters and Cardigans

Women’s sweaters and cardigans are made from different fibers, each with unique characteristics. Mohair comes from the hair of goats and is lightweight and expensive, often used for fine, thin-knit cardigans. Wool, on the other hand, comes from sheep and is thicker and warmer. Chunky knit sweaters are often made from wool, providing more warmth.

Popular Patterns for Women's Sweaters: Reindeer, Christmas, and Argyle

Since the cold season coincides with specific events in Christianity, themed sweaters like Christmas and reindeer designs are particularly trendy. Additionally, argyle sweaters, a classic design, remain popular among women despite being an older style.

Zara, H&M, and LC Waikiki: The Best-Selling Brands for Women's Sweaters, Cardigans, and Knits

Among Iranians and those following fashion and style, H&M and Zara are among the best-selling brands. On the other hand, Turkish brands such as LC Waikiki, Defacto, and Koton are also very popular.

Are white, black, or bright-colored sweaters like green, red, and fuchsia trendy this year?

The reality is that color doesn't significantly influence the trend of the year, and the color of sweaters and cardigans is entirely a personal and subjective matter. However, based on our experience, we can say that white and black women's sweaters are among the best sellers. Additionally, in neutral colors, we can mention women's cream sweaters. Bright colors are more popular among Generation Z; for example, green, fuchsia cardigans, or even checkered cardigans are trendy and stylish.

Where to buy trendy and chic women's sweaters, cardigans, and knits?

Several factors influence the choice of a suitable store for buying women's sweaters and cardigans. If you're looking for variety, luxury brands, or even Turkish brands, we suggest checking out the Shik Posh website.

Another important factor in choosing an online store is price. The price of women's sweaters depends on several factors. The fabric of the sweater plays a significant role in its price. For example, a cashmere sweater, due to the rarity and quality of the fabric, is quite expensive, while a sweater made from synthetic viscose materials tends to be more affordable. Some sweaters made from plastic materials are cheaper.

When buying women's sweaters online, several factors should be considered, such as choosing the correct size, which is the most important factor. You can use the size guide to help with this. Also, to ensure the quality of the product, the material used in producing the sweater is usually mentioned.
