Sweaters

Yes, many sweaters can work for business casual—especially when styled with tailored pants or a skirt. Stick with clean silhouettes and neutral tones for a refined, easy look that works for meetings, office days, and everything in between.

Lay your sweater flat, fold in the sleeves, and bring the sides toward the center. Then fold it from the bottom up once or twice depending on drawer space. This keeps the shape intact and avoids stretching or misshaping the fabric.

Always store sweaters folded, never hung. Keep them in drawers or on shelves in a cool, dry space. If you're storing them for the season, use breathable storage bags and avoid overstacking to help preserve shape, softness, and structure.

Never machine wash—no matter the setting. Even “hand wash” cycles use too much water and can ruin the fabric. Instead, gently hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent and lay flat to dry. Skip the dryer entirely to preserve softness and shape.
