ASpring into Style: Lightweight Aran Sweaters for Breezy Days
Change is abundant in springtime, and the weather can be especially unpredictable - especially here in Ireland!
Your ideal Spring wardrobe should include several versatile garments so that you can layer up when you need to and make the most of the Spring sunshine when it peeks through.
The spring is a great chance to experiment with the gorgeous pastel shades of organic, natural Merino Wool, which many of our designs are available. Shades such as Misty Marl and Pale Pink are reminiscent of the colours emerging in the natural world at this time and give a softer, more relaxed feel.
These Aran Lightweight Sweaters are made of Merino Wool, which comes from Merino sheep. Merino wool makes the Aran sweater so versatile, as it can be worn during any season, either in cold fall or winter days or even in crisp summer and spring breezy days.
Aran sweater designs are created to suit everyone, from children to women, men and unisex. At The Sweater Shop, you can find modern reinterpretations of the traditional knitting craft that include cardigans, hats, shawls, ponchos and even bags - it’s impossible not to find the perfect piece for you.
A well-made, light Aran sweater is a timeless fashion item that cannot be missed from anyone’s closet, but what are the best ways to style it, especially now, as spring is approaching?
Let us guide you through the tricks of achieving the perfectly spring-tailored look, in the Irish style!
How to Style Lightweight Spring Knitwear
As the Earth is waking up and new life is blossoming, it’s a great time to be embracing your lighter knits and experimenting with new colour combinations and styles.
You can adapt your favourite looks to suit the season, adding scarves when the weather is cool or wet and wearing a thinner or lighter knit layered over a dress or skirt with tights when the sun peeks through.
In the Spring, you might find that you get caught in a shower of rain or that it’s much warmer than you expected, so it’s well worth preparing for all conditions.
Wool is a water resistant fabric that can hold up to 30% of its weight in water before feeling wet, so it’s a great choice for April showers and unpredictable weather.
We hope you find your favourite Spring Knitwear from our collection below!
