Sweaters

For the most part, the rules about which T-shirt styles to wear should also be applied to which sweater styles to wear. There are obviously additional rules for sweater styles, such as turtlenecks, wrap styles, etc. Here's what else you need to know:

Full Bust

• Wrap cardigans are your best bet. They are the perfect solution to the "mono-boob" problem that certain styles cause, and they define your waist at the same time. Cardigans and deep V-necks are also flattering options. Stick with lightweight yarns.
• Avoid chunky knits that will add bulk to your figure, and anything too tight.

Small Bust

• Turtlenecks are elegant and flattering on flat-chested women. Chunky knits give the illusion of a larger chest as do fitted long-sleeve sweaters. As with T-shirts, look for styles with detailed fronts to cover the chest area. Halter styles show off shoulders and accentuate your small bust.
• Avoid ultra fine yarns that cling and draw attention to the bust area.
