These come out one month/ year.</p> <p>That seems like more than I usually need.</p> <p>Plus hoodies for work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762190 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 20:02:31 +0000 Keix 1762190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have 5 cardigans (including 1 lightweight summer piece and 2 sweatercoats that I use as outerwear), 15 pullovers of varying weights. I could use more sweaters of both types, but I'm already running low on laundry space for lay-flat sweaters which makes shopping difficult. It's seemingly impossible to find machine-dryable sweaters that are still decent quality (regardless of price, as expensive sweaters tend to ban the dryer) and soft against my sensitive skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762105 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 14:17:23 +0000 Turmeric 1762105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are my bread and butter! Counting<br /> everything: 31 pullovers and 30 cardigans. (Thank you, spreadsheet.)<br /> Some of those cardis aren't really used.</p> <p> </p> <p>Excluding the ones that function more<br /> like basic tops, in the heavy-duty category I've got: 9 beloved pullovers and<br /> 7 cardigans. And I'd really like one more cardigan, warm and thick<br /> and roomy enough to fit over anything else.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762098 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 13:47:44 +0000 Anonymous 1762098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't counted, but I have about a week's worth. I want more sweaters, but have had a difficult time finding the colors and styles I like. That said, it's cold now, so I need to buy a few more. I do have some knit moto jackets that serve as cardigans, one cardigan, and a few jackets and blazers. I bought with the idea of layering, and that works well when it's not frigid outside. I've had to bundle up more this week, though. I have my new Uniglo Heat Tech leggings on underneath my pants today; love the way they feel and fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762095 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 13:39:03 +0000 Suz 1762095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to this thread.&nbsp;</p> <p>I divide my clothes into the seasons and because S/S (or at least spring and fall) to see me wearing knits, they're a different category.&nbsp;</p> <p>For F/W I have:&nbsp;</p> <p>2 stand-alone (i.e. not just a layering, insulating) &nbsp;turtlenecks (need more)&nbsp;</p> <p>7 fluid pullovers</p> <p>2 oversize pullovers</p> <p>2 long cardigans</p> <p>Total: 13 . &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I could definitely stand to increase this number since I wear sweaters every day for many months. </p> <p>For S/S I have: </p> <p>7 pullovers (cotton) <br />1 cardigan &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762059 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 11:11:53 +0000 Tisa 1762059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting question.<br /> I have got 3 cardigans and 9 pullovers that fall under knitwear, and 1 cardigan/jacket and 2 pullovers made of fleece.</p> <p>I'll be adding some more items to the knitwear collection before this year is over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762053 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:39:13 +0000 Anonymous 1762053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This was a fun post. &nbsp;I would have A LOT more sweaters is I lived in a colder climate. &nbsp;I have to brace myself against buying sweaters as it is.

Plus some turtlenecks and sweater dresses. I should take an inventory of what I have and curate more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762017 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 04:32:52 +0000 Anonymous 1762017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not counting. All it takes is one long cold winter and I'm picking up more for variety as I try to keep warm. Almost all of my cardigans are for warm weather to carry for over air conditioning. Almost all my pullovers are for cool/cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762014 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 03:52:30 +0000 rachylou 1762014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gonna guess 50 and call it quits </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1762006 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 03:09:00 +0000 Lisa 1762006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore number crunching and do that often on my blog.&nbsp; I currently have 9 pullovers and 2 cardigans for the cold weather.&nbsp; I anticipate receiving another pullover sweater from Santa this year.&nbsp; That brings me up to 12 total for winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1761978 Wed, 21 Dec 2016 01:11:28 +0000 Anonymous 1761978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>4 pullovers and 1 long cardigan </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1761926 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:40:23 +0000 MsMaven 1761926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you ask. Just a couple of hours ago I looked at my "collection" and decided it was time to donate some of my old cashmere sweaters.&nbsp;</p> <p>16 pullovers, 7 cards, 1 sweater dress I never wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do feel the cold, but it's only a couple of months of the year, and a week or so around the holidays in the Chicago area. This year I bought two acrylic pullovers thinking they'd be easier to wear--I have to layer anything with wool or cashmere because now they make my skin itch. It's ridiculous--I can't make myself do the one-in, one-out rule.&nbsp;</p> <p>I won't tell you how many pairs of shabby jeans i have. Instead of tossing a pair that fits I have a cupboard in the laundry room where I keep them, just in case. I have donated a lot of stuff.</p> <p>Furthermore, my quick survey reveals that I have spent less on clothes this year than in the last 5. Part of my problem is the sales mentality. I buy stuff I don't need because it is such a bargain, or maybe I won't get a chance again.</p> <p>Thanks for the opportunity to take a good look at myself.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1761925 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:32:04 +0000 Gretchen 1761925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, not going to count. Living in Northern California = wearing some form of knitwear almost every day of the year. I bat for team cardigan in the spring/summer, and pullover in fall/winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1761922 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 21:09:30 +0000 shedev 1761922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>12 pullovers, 6 cardis,&nbsp;4 vest, 1 poncho.

I really like a basic cashmere or merino wool v neck sweater. I think I might have just added seven of those this season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters/page/2#post-1761905 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 18:56:25 +0000 texstyle 1761905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Probably more than I need, but it depends on if I travel during winter.

We collect them and wear them day after day, often in combination. I have and wear 25 pullovers and 15 cardigans. These include sweaters of different weights. I wear lighter cardigans in the summer, lighter pullovers in spring, early fall, and summer evenings, and mid weight and heavy cardigans and pullovers in spring, fall, and winter. I need a lot of sweaters. Cold weather dwellers, please count your sweaters too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters#post-1761746 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 12:44:13 +0000 Alexandra 1761746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope, not counting. I have a bunch. Love and wear them all except the creamy white cashmere pullover (because it strikes me as just a little too fussy on me). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters#post-1761745 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 12:37:46 +0000 LaPed 1761745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>5 pullovers, 3 cardis, and I live in a cold part of the world! To be fair, I purged quite a few sweaters over the past few years -- basically anything with acrylic or polyester in it. also, I'm not counting my black merino jacket which I wear like a sweater; it has a hood and a zipper, so does that really count as a cardigan? Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters#post-1761718 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 10:32:55 +0000 Sisi 1761718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe, easy -&nbsp;4 pullovers and 3 cardigans, would you believe? I am almost ashamed to tell.&nbsp;And&nbsp;I live in a 4 seasons climate.&nbsp;The reason of such a skimpy wardrobe is that&nbsp; since when I decided to buy better (only things that I really like, no more meh items) shopping&nbsp;has become a little&nbsp;more complicated .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters#post-1761717 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 10:07:35 +0000 Staysfit 1761717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My last count was documented on the forum and has already increased. I'm a sweater lover and knitter. Let's just say I live in the rust belt. It was -4 F on Friday. It's 12 F now. Yes, sweaters, cardigans, they are my dear friends for six months every year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/count-your-sweaters#post-1761694 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 05:43:53 +0000 Maneera 1761694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No way!!!
