……………………………..With the total success of last year’s SWING SWEATER, A259620, which I might add is still totally sold out, but will be coming back in Oct, you know I had to follow up with a new twist on the style……….The new style is the SWING SWEATER TURTLENECK, A268137…….The sweater body, and the WK ENR is exactly as the original, nothing has changed…..except the neckline……….I requested my manufacturer to make the exact weight ENR as the original swing sweater…..not to change the fit or anything else about the sweep etc. etc………………so other than the TN you should feel comfortable ordering the same size you did before. For those of you who are new to Linea , and/or missed out on this fabulous sweater, perhaps some of the Linea Ladies can give you the low down on size, fit, shape and how it works for women of all shapes and sizes etc etc……There have been many contenders who have, let’s say, been inspired by this sweater, but none have been as successful……The reason for this is simple……First, no one else uses the Every Needle Rib construction. As I have explained, this setting on the knitting machines uses double the amount of yarn that a jersey sweater uses. The advantage of the ENR is the finished fabric has MUCH MORE BODY, and the knitted pieces come off the machines with finished bottoms so there is no need to add a tubular finish at the bottom which does not give the sweater as much drape and flow. The ENR knit has more body so it never clings….it just glides over the body. The final reason this sweater isn’t like the others is the addition of the set in gore. This gore starts the ease and flow HIGHER up on the body so when you get down to the hips you have ample room and sweep for the sweater to flow gracefully, whereas many pretenders are still too tight and clingy. Now I have given you all of the secrets as to why this sweater succeeds where others have failed………”They” may call them swing sweaters, but it takes all of these special details to get it RIGHT…..to create a garment of style, quality. ease……as well as comfort………..What other color should I start you off with other than……………..BLACK…………Is this not the PERFECT BLACK sweater or what??….Wear it with absolutely everything hanging in your closets, packed in your bureaus, and then some…….Jeans, leggings, slim pants, wide leg pants, crop pants midi length coullotes….If you have the BLACK WK Pant…..PERFECTION!….Short skirts, leather skirts, A-line skirts, Boho skirts, long straight skirts………everything from denim to velvet and satin…work with this Swing Sweater..With the right accessories you could even wear it black tie with a long velvet skirt for the holidays and killer sandals…..SUPER CHIC!…..I can’t think of one place where you couldn’t wear this sweater………..Above, I have it shown with my new LINEA LEISURE TUXEDO STRIPE PANT, A268243, in the TOBACCO/BLACK combination….for a more casual outing…..FYI….this outfit looks outrageous under the new ZEBRA COAT coming this month…..and I mean OUTRAGEOUS! It definitely looks like a $4000 outfit….easy………………………….Get ready to rock it with your CHOCOLATE FALLING LEAVES necklace set, as shown above. Absolutely anything you want to accessorize it with will work…………………………………..
…………………………………………….enjoy……………………………..much Love………………………………….Louis
