This week we focus on key sweater and sweater knit silhouettes for girls. Even if you are not a sweater house per se, you will want to include some of these concepts in your product mix. Cardigans, both long and swingy are new while little boleros and traditional shapes also continue to be important. Check back next week for key romper silhouettes!

Cardigans - The cardigan has several new looks this season. Some of the most notable are the Duster length cardi with "elastic" knit rib that creates a gathered look, the tied shrug, the wrap cardi with shawl collar, and the "A" line cardi with empire style line. Collars come in faux fur trim, self ruffles and even lace. There are heavy gage knits to wear over other trendy gaarments of fine gage knits that become focus garments such as sweater sets.
