……………………………..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
Louis,
Which of these three would you recommend pairing with the hunter green WK pants? Sometimes I wear my black swing sweater, but I’m not always confident in that choice.
Thank you.
Dear Rochelle, of course ivory over the hunter green always works, but black is good too. You should absolutely feel confident wearing those two colors together. The magenta and H.G. works too, but ivory with H.G. Is classic.
Thank you.
Dear Louis,
I just ordered the ivory per your suggestion. I think it’ll have more versatility in my wardrobe. I’m thinking of mixing the stone swing sweater with my stone heather print pull-on skirt for high holidays if the weather is cool enough tomorrow or Tuesday.
Thank you. Safe travels.
Black Sequin Skirt … just saying … 🙂
YES! Gorgeous pairing.
Forgot to add, with the long black faceted “jet” necklace.
Oh, yes!
I’m a very big fan of your clothing but must admit I don’t comment very often because I seem like an outsider. So many women have been on this site for years and all seem like personal friends. But I must tell you. Your fall collection is exquisite. Thank you for bringing such beautiful clothing items to QVC. As a young career woman, I appreciate the opportunity to have such beautiful items of clothing at very affordable prices. This turtleneck is perfect for my wardrobe – something I can wear professionally as well as casually. Thank you!
Dear Neena….it is very nice to hear from you……please don’t feel like an outsider….everyone is welcome to my website. There are quite a few new posters so always feel free to post any question or comment you may have….you are most welcome here….it’s a very friendly place. I like to hear from all women of all ages, and different life paths. I don’t hear from many young professionals so it would be good o know what works for you………regards, Louis
Louis, I am in trouble!!! I am going to purchase all 3 colors of this beautiful whisper knit swing sweater with turtleneck. Last year I purchased A259620, your original swing sweater in black and the matching whisper knit mid-calf skirt in black (A257384) and wore them all winter long. Do you have any plans to bring us more whisper knit skirts this year? I have my fingers crossed that you will have the new colors for us.
Dear Dariann…..not this year, but I will have a WK Milano knit skirt for May in Ivory Black and Perfectly Pink…..I think you are wise to get this TN in all of the colors because I will not bring them back…..except black. If it gets reordered I will do all new colors so they become real exclusive. I am not bringing back last years swing sweater colors for that reason. I have also found when you bring colors back they never sell as well as the first time around , and the new colors sell out, so I may as well just do new colors..
I meant to ask–will this be in your September show?
Morning Kate…..It’s scheduled to be, but I never know what the planners end up putting in the show until I get the “final” show script. All of the sneak peeks I am showing were scheduled for Sept. If I waited to get the script it would be too late to post.
Wowza–While I wear them with everything, I love my swing sweaters best over your WK skirt. The previous one looks fantastic; this will look spectacular. Especially with the new tuxedo stripe hose coming later. And, thank you for giving us ivory. One of each, please.
Louis!
Like so many others – I love the original Swing Sweater! Managed to get one -in Black.
Really like this T-Neck version – in Black – and my LL Pants in Tobacco have already shipped.
Now just waiting so patiently for that Zebra Coat!
