The Frankaa and Armedangels organic cotton sweats
Founded in Cologne in 2007, Armedangels has made organic cotton and certified fibres its trademark. Its round-necked sweat Frankaa is one of its key models and comes in several versions, notably Iconic and Bold, which play with colours and branding. The Alizaa offers a different look, while the Haarleenaa Fleece, made from fleece, focuses on a cocoon effect. The organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides, provides a dense knit that holds up well over washes. The Payper Panama and the Athlecia sweat, more sporty, accompany workout sessions as well as weekends, and the Moss Copenhagen Ima, from the Danish brand, emphasises softness.

The Gant argyle pattern sweater and winter knits
The sweater Gant Argyle features the diamond pattern that originated in western Scotland, derived from the tartan of the Campbell clan of Argyll and long knitted on the socks of Highlanders. Gant, a brand founded in New Haven in 1949, pairs it with wool for a classic collegiate style. The Kaffe Grith sweater, from the Danish brand, and the Desigual Kalmar, with graphic patterns from the Barcelona house, add a fashion touch. The roll-neck Comma, in fine knit, can be worn alone, close to the body, or layered, and keeps the neck warm on windy days. These sweaters should be chosen in their usual size, as the knit takes on the shape of the body slightly over time.
Cotton sweat or wool sweater: warmth and comfort
The cotton fleece sweat is soft, easy to wash in the machine, and comfortable at home or on the go, but it insulates less in very cold weather and takes longer to dry. The wool, on the other hand, traps air between its crimped fibres: it retains warmth even when slightly damp and regulates temperature, making it the best material for winter sweaters. The Moss Copenhagen sweats focus on a soft knit and a loose fit, while the Nike Sportswear Air and the Fred Perry with a half-zip offer a sportier look, with a collar that opens when you get hot. For winter, many switch between a sweat on active days and a wool sweater for outings.
How to wash a sweat or a sweater without deforming it
A sweat should be washed inside out, at thirty degrees, with similar colours, and then dried on a rack, without using the tumble dryer, which shrinks cotton. A wool sweater requires more care: wool programme or hand wash in cold water, special detergent, no rubbing, then spin by rolling it in a towel. Drying should always be done flat, away from a radiator, to prevent it from felting or stretching. Store knits folded, never on a hanger which distorts the shoulders. End-of-line items are a chance to treat yourself to these branded knits once their colours are changed.
Frequently asked questions
Oversized sweat: should I take a size up?
No, an oversized model is already designed to be roomy: take your usual size for the desired effect. A size up would result in a very wide fit, with sleeves covering the hands and a body that hangs too low.
How can I prevent a wool sweater from itching?
The sensation comes from the coarser fibres that irritate the skin. Washing with a special wool detergent and a bit of conditioner in the rinse water softens the knit; a fine cotton underlayer also protects sensitive skin.
What material for a sweat that won't pill?
Combed cotton and dense organic cotton pill little, as their fibres are long. Blends rich in polyester and very fluffy fleeces are more prone to pilling, especially under the arms and at the wrists.
Can I put a wool sweater in the tumble dryer?
This is not recommended: the heat and agitation tighten the scales of the fibre, causing it to felt and shrink beyond repair. Lay it flat on a towel to dry, reshaping it with your hands while it’s still damp.
Roll-neck: fine or thick knit?
The fine knit, like that of the Comma, layers easily and is suitable for the office or evenings out. The thick knit, warmer, can be worn alone on cold days and offers a more casual silhouette.
