3. Fit

I always said, “fit is a must!”. Never buy sweaters which too tight, they need to fit full. For the sleeves, there are two types which are raglan and set-in. For raglan, the sleeves are attached with the collar, not the shoulder points. If you want normal sleeves, then set-in is the choice.

The safest way to preserve a sweater’s shape is dry cleaning. Maybe it is one of the best solutions to get rid of stubborn stains. If your sweaters have stains, it would also be advisable to give them to a reputed laundry service for stain removal. Another way is by hand washing, but read the label first and use cold water. When you want to wash with the machine, some fabric can’t be washed so make certain you read that label too.
