It\u2019s given me a taste for quality.<\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re looking at a myriad of garments, what makes one piece stand out from all the others? For me, it has to be quality &#8211; the way the seams are stitched, the proportions and of course how the garment feels to the touch. Beige\u2019s mission statement is to offer the very best in plus size designer clothing. This means that the Beige buying team has to be ultra-selective with the garments we choose.<\/p>\n<p>When I select a garment one of the first things I do is check the fabric content label. If there\u2019s one thing that will instantly pique my interest it\u2019s a<a title=\"The Benefits of Wool\" href=\"https:\/\/www.holylamborganics.com\/pages\/benefits-of-wool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> high wool content.<\/a> No synthetic fibre comes close to wool in terms of breathability, comfort, quality and endurance. For some reason, humankind has never been able to replicate the magic of wool.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Wool Shop\" href=\"https:\/\/www.beigeplus.com\/curvy-plus-size-clothing\/plus-size-wool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>When it comes to long-lasting knitwear only wool will do. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The Essential Wool Designer Plus Size Sweater<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Every woman\u2019s autumn\/winter capsule wardrobe should contain a few well-chosen high-quality wool sweaters. Buy woollen sweaters in block colours and they will form the foundations of literally hundreds of different outfits. Versatile and comfortable &#8211; a classic wool sweater is the perfect vehicle for your favourite accessories. Use it to showcase your favourite statement necklace or a fabulous Hermes scarf. The benefit of a sweater with a high wool content is that it\u2019s less likely to pill and if cared for correctly will last several seasons.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beigeplus.com\/curvy-plus-size-clothing\/plus-size-wool\/beige-label-wax-ribbed-knitted-tunic\">Check out our beautiful Merino Wool sweaters in a selection of useful colours.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beigeplus.com\/beige-label-wax-ribbed-knitted-tunic\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7702 alignleft lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.beigeplus.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/BEIGE-9838-23-182_002-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Merino Wool Sweater\" width=\"372\" height=\"372\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>statement knit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whilst a simple and classic wool sweater is unquestionably essential, sometimes a girl needs something a little more sensational.
