Sweaters

The question that comes up most in this category: is it itchy, and does it hold its shape after a few washes? Knitwear is the one category where the fabric matters as much as the fit, a sweater can be sized perfectly and still feel wrong against your skin or stretch out by the second wear. This page sorts everything by knit first, fit second, because that's the order it actually matters in.

Crewneck knit. The most versatile cut in the collection, sits close without clinging and layers easily under a jacket. The Parke Crewneck Sweater is what we point first-time buyers toward, it's a tighter, more structured knit than the cardigan, so it holds its shape better through the shoulders over time.

Cardigan. Open-front, easiest to layer over a top without committing to a full sweater, and the simplest to size since it's rarely worn skin-tight. The Parke Cardigan runs generous through the body by design, so most people size true rather than up.

Shop by fabric

Cotton-blend knits run softer against the skin and resist stretching out better than acrylic blends, which matters most if you plan to wear a piece often rather than occasionally. Chunkier knits run warmer but also bulkier under a coat, finer gauge knits layer easier but offer less warmth on their own.

How to choose

Crewneck if you want a sweater that holds its shape and works as a standalone piece. Cardigan if you want something to throw on over what you're already wearing without thinking about fit underneath. Whichever you pick, check the fabric content on the product page before ordering, knit weight varies more between styles than the photos always show.

New knits and colors land regularly. If your size or knit isn't here yet, check back, this collection turns over often. Or browse all parke sweatshirts to shop the rest of the range.
