The Gre(y)t Sweater Debate
I'm on the hunt for the perfect grey sweater. Sounds simple, right? Well here is the criteria I'm working with...
- I want something that is the perfect light grey color - not too dark, not too light.
- It must be suuupppeerrrr soft. I love quality materials like wool, cashmere and alpaca, but I have extremely sensitive skin, so quality and comfort is key.
- A sweater that is the perfect mix of casual and professional is a must, too. I want to throw it on when I'm lounging at home, headed out to run errands on the weekend, at dinner with friends, or off to the office for the day.
- On top of all that, I'm looking for a sweater (and a brand) that takes a conscious approach to apparel manufacturing. I want to be proud when I wear my sweater and confidently say that it was made with environmental, social and economical sustainability.
After much searching, I found five contenders! I ordered all five and plan to evaluate each based on my criteria listed above.
