Classic couture: the twinset

The twinset has been a part of a fashionable women’s style palette for over fifty years. They are sweet, sophisticated, and very American. At first, it might seem that there are few options of wearing them. The trick is to choose twinsets that can be separated without looking odd for different looks. The cardigan can be used as a suit jacket substitute and the shell or t-shirt can be worn with a dressy suit instead of a stuffier blouse. Usually the best options for this have a slight difference for example a longer cardigan or a satin cord trimmed neck on the shell. Twinsets also come in plain cotton and dressy cashmere with or without embellishment, so there are options for more formal events and events that are more casual. First, invest in a basic sweater set that can be work for different occasions, and then build to dressier or embellished versions.
