1940s Style Sweaters, Cardigans and Knitwear

1940s sweaters and jumpers, knit tops, shirts, vests, and cardigans were worn as a winter-to-springtime fashion knitwear piece. During the war, those who could knit did so out of necessity and economy, creating adorable short sleeve sweater tops, longer chunky knit pullover sweaters, and button up cardigans.

These new 40s sweaters and knitwear mimic the popular styles of the 1940s. Combined with 1940s pants or skirts, they can create a vintage inspired outfit for any season.
