Knit Sweaters and Pullovers

Although often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences. Knitted sweaters generally refer to knitted or knitted garments, while pullovers are specifically garments that are worn over the head, without front openings. At RAG Tailors, we offer both styles with professional finishes. Our knitted sweaters are made with everyday comfort and durability in mind, while our pullovers have a more formal aesthetic, ideal for work environments that require a smart, professional look.

For professional environments, we recommend materials such as merino wool, cashmere and high-quality cotton blends with synthetic fibres. These materials offer elegance, durability and all-day comfort. Merino wool is particularly suitable as it is breathable, anti-odour and thermoregulating, adapting to different temperatures in the office. At RAG Tailors, we carefully select the materials for our knitwear to ensure that it maintains its shape and professional appearance even after frequent use, offering the perfect balance between formal presentation and comfort.

To maximize the lifespan of your wool sweaters, we recommend hand washing in cold water with a mild detergent or washing on a wool cycle in your machine. Never wring the garment; instead, gently press to remove excess water and dry flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight. It is advisable to store garments folded rather than hung to maintain their original shape. For frequently worn knit sweaters, such as those from RAG Tailors, a 24-hour rest between wears helps restore the elasticity of the fabric, significantly extending the life of the garment.

Absolutely! Fine knit sweaters, especially in materials such as cashmere, merino wool or high-quality cotton, are perfectly suited to formal work environments. The key is in the cut and finish – opt for classic V-necks or round necklines in understated colours such as navy, grey or black. RAG Tailors’ pieces are designed specifically with the professional environment in mind, with attention to details such as reinforced cuffs and hems that maintain a polished look all day long, and can be paired with shirts and blazers for a truly business-like look.

Choosing the right size online requires paying attention to the sizing guides. First, measure your chest, waist and arm length with a tape measure. Compare these measurements to the size chart available in the online store. At RAG Tailors, we provide detailed measurements for each garment and recommendations for fit (regular, slim or oversized). Also consider the material, as different knits have different stretches. If you are between two sizes, we recommend the larger size for pure wool garments, which may shrink slightly, and the smaller size for knits with elastane. Remember that a slightly looser fit is generally more flattering for sweaters and pullovers.

Current trends in professional wear feature knit sweaters in sleek, minimalist cuts, with an emphasis on sustainable materials. Neutral and earthy tones remain popular, as do deep blues and dark greens, which convey professionalism and sophistication. Subtle textures like fine ribbing and subtle three-dimensional stitching are on the rise. At RAG Tailors, we’re incorporating these trends with a timeless twist – pullovers with slim turtlenecks to replace shirts on cooler days, and knit sweaters with reinforced elbow details that add both durability and style. Versatility remains key, with pieces that transition easily from the office to after-hours engagements.

Yes, customising knitted sweaters and pullovers is a great option for corporate teams.
