The most beautiful and warmest sweaters for the winter

And we come to the favorite piece to wear during the winter: the sweater. It must be warm, enveloping, perhaps with a turtleneck, to make you feel more protected. The ideal would be to have a cashmere or wool sweater, the really warm ones, but if you need to find something cheaper, choose a sweater that has at least a percentage of wool in the composition. 100% acrylic garments are cheaper, but even if they get warm while wearing them they are not really insulating, which is the most important thing. In the case of the sweater, think not only of beauty, but also of functionality!

An important accessory: the socks. Which to choose?

During the winter a crucial choice falls on the socks. In the cold seasons they not only have a hygienic or decorative function, but are important for keeping warm. The lower limbs, as you know, are the part of the body that suffers the most from the cold. But which stockings to choose? In the embarrassment of choice, we suggest Parisian, knee high stockings, if you want to have a sexy touch. If, on the other hand, you prefer practicality, it is better to wear socks, which go up to below the knee and are easier to combine. Discover the Parisian of winter 2017 below!

Scarves, gloves and hats to complete the look

To protect yourself from the cold, accessories are just as important as the highlights. So green light to the hunt for scarves, caps and hats, and gloves. The choice is very wide, and as always the materials are important: if you really can't afford 100% wool or cashmere, be careful to choose a mix of fabrics that have at least a percentage of wool in the composition. Or choose new materials, invented in the laboratory to retain heat and isolate the body from the cold. An example? Uniqlo's Heattech technology (which for now you can buy online, before the store arrives in Italy, in Milan, this year). Discover some accessories for winter below!
