With winter approaching and the temperatures dropping fast, it is time to stop robbing your grandparents of their favorite sweaters.

Lets face it, the sweaters you snag from your grandparent’s closet are most likely not your style and in some cases very unappealing. With a little bit of time and cash, you can put your money into a sweater that you’ll want to wear 24/7.

In order for a sweater to fit the description of “perfect,” it must meet a few guidelines. A sweater must be comfortable and should keep you warm when the weather gets a bit harsh. No one wants a sweater that leaves them itchy and cold.

As for all the men looking for that perfect sweater, sweater vests are a great way for a guy to look nice without feeling dressed up. Old Navy, Kohl’s, Bloomingdale’s and Express can hook any guy up with a ton of sweater choices.

With the holidays near, wearing sweaters can put anyone in the holiday mood. Sweaters with designs such as animals, crazy patterns, stripes and Christmas spirit, can be worn for weeks this season.
