Capsleeve Sweater

Capsleeve sweaters are a flirty and fun twist on the classic sweater. Exposing the arms puts a spin on the traditional garment that exudes a hint of sexiness, while maintaining a conservative sense of modesty. Perhaps best of all, capsleeve or short-sleeved sweaters can be worn in all seasons!

Capsleeve sweaters are hardly a new fashion trend. This style of sweater has been around for decades. Perhaps most predominately, the capsleeve sweater soared to popularity in the 50's, when teeny-boppers began wearing the garment with poodle skirts, saddle shoes, and a pair of pearl stud earrings. Nowadays, women are wearing the capsleeve sweater to work, in play, and in evenings out. They have truly become a universal garment that should be a staple in any girl's wardrobe.

Capsleeve sweaters can come in any fabric or knit, but are most often seen in breathable, lightweight fabrics and small knits. Cotton, mohair, cashmere and light wools are the most common fabrics for capsleeve sweaters. The heavier more dense fabrics that sweaters are typically made of are reserved for warmer sweaters. As the capsleeve is more a fashion statement than a practical garment meant to keep you warm, choose your capsleeve sweater based on the comfort and style.
