With chilly winters come the best clothes of our wardrobe. In winters you must be looking for warm clothes to keep you cozy. Nothing is better than cashmere when it comes to buying winter clothes. Its super soft material will keep you comfortable and warm all through the winters. 

Cashmere is generally quite costly, and you would not want to ruin it with washing. You need to take extra care of the women's cashmere jumpers when you wash and store them.

 

Here are some tips from experts on how you should wash and store your cashmere jumpers.

How often should they be washed?

It is always a good practice to know when you should wash your woolens. When it is cashmere sweaters, you need to take extra care. Generally, it is a good thing to wash cashmere items after fourth wearing or so. If you are using high-quality cashmere, you will see that it only gets better with every wash. With time, the cashmere jumper will form the fluff, and it will be softer. You will also see that it gets smoother and fluffy with more use.

Does it need to be dry-cleaned?

Not all the plus size Italian jumpers need to be dry-cleaned. Only if they are woven very finely, or embroidered elaborately, they might need some dry cleaning. 

Can you use fabric softeners?

Fabric softeners do more harm than good to the cashmere jumpers. It is generally not recommended to use fabric softeners while washing cashmere sweaters. Fabric softeners can flatten the fabric of the cashmere products, and they may wear out very soon. If you want to soften the material, you should use hair conditioner instead of fabric softeners.

How to dry cashmere jumpers?

You need to spread them flat with a dry cotton towel underneath the jumpers. Do not stretch the garment in any direction that you want. This can extend the garments forever. Dry them in slightly scrunched form after shaking them a little. The fabric should retain its elasticity. Therefore, you can put the sleeves and cuff up without letting them hang loosely.

Can you prevent pilling?

Pilling is a natural process that happens in cashmere products like Italian Poncho when you wear them for long. It occurs because of the rubbing of the material with itself. The fine hairs of the fabric get loose, rub against each other and form small balls. You can prevent this from happening by using a special cashmere comb for combing the product.

How to store cashmere jumpers? 

Make sure that any storage area that you are using for storing cashmere jumpers is cleaned of dust properly. If you have chosen a wardrobe for keeping your clothes, the make sure that you are taking enough measures to protect the garments from moths. Never use cardboard boxes to store cashmere products as cardboard is not pH neutral and the cashmere fabric can react with the acid or essential nature of the boxes.

Cashmere jumpers require extra care and protection when you wash and store them. Use the tips mentioned above to ensure a long life of your woolens.

Top 10 Fashion Tips for Plus Size Women

Many people think that plus size women cannot be fashionable and cannot make style statements like other women. But this is a completely wrong notion. With stylish plus size clothing for women, they can look extremely stunning and make a grand style statement. 

Here are 10 great fashion tips which plus size women can try:

1. Refrain from wearing extremely tight fitting clothes – Women who are plus size should never wear tight fitting clothes, particularly if the hips are too heavy. With such tight fitting attires, the hips and the waist are accentuated making one look fatter. 

2. Try the wrap dress, it is perfect – Plus size women should definitely have ample numbers of wrap dresses in their wardrobe. This dress can be adorned by women in all kinds of figures. Inspite of your size, you will be made to look slim as the waist is focused on. All the extra fat hides under the dress beautifully. 

3. Wear dark colored jeans – If you love wearing jeans, keep on wearing them. Just see that you choose dark shades over lighter shades. Avoid the washed look jeans as they help in focusing on the upper leg part and on the hips. Dark colored jeans have more slimming effect. 

4. Go for sleek heeled shoes – Avoid wearing absolute flats and chunky shoes if you are plus sized. These shoes emphasize the wide hips greatly. Wearing heels of minimum 2 inches is the best choice as they give illusion of long legs and make one look slim and sleek. 

5. A-line dress is perfect – Wearing an A-line dress and Italian linen dresses are just perfect for any woman in plus size. These dresses are thin at the waist and open up as they reach towards the bottom, so the large hips are concealed smartly. They look pretty and are quite comfortable at the same time. 

6. Wear dark bottoms and light tops – This technique is great if you want to make an illusion of slim figure in spite of being over sized. Light colored tops and dark colored bottom wear are perfect combination for women in plus size. 

7. Refrain from horizontal stripes – Whatever be the kind of Lagenlook Clothing you choose for your plus size figure, refrain from choosing dresses that come with horizontal stripes. Horizontal stripes give effects of greater width, particularly at the chest, waist and hip area, making you look fatter by quite a means. 

8. No baggy clothing – Many plus size women wear over sized baggy clothing to hide their flabbiness. But the baggy clothing makes one look even bigger and should be avoided. Semi fitted or well fitted clothes should be worn. 

9. Focal point on the top – Whether you love wearing women's cashmere jumpers or other kinds of tops, make sure that they are stylish and should have an attractive point so that the attention does not go down to the over-sized hips. Tops with embroideries, embellishments in the bust area are preferred. Wear multiple piece necklaces instead of one solid chain. 

10. Avoid jackets and blazers ending at the hips – Jackets and blazers usually end at the hips so avoid wearing them. If you like wearing them, buy the ones that are little longer so that the hip area is covered and the end comes below the hip line. 

Try these tips and see how smart and stylish you look even in your plus size figure.
