The Independent featured an article earlier in the week (thanks Adie) defining a sweater as an item your mum tells you to wear when she is cold.
Along with mumspit "it's not gross it's hygenic", a secret hankie stash, emergency Percy Pig rations and a clip round the ear/hug combo on return from being lost, the 'just in case' layer is a mum staple which is passed down through the generations, and rightly so.
Layering is my only fashion look, it's not so much a case of 'what's hot and what's not' in our house as in 'what's hot ... has anyone invented an electric blanket cardigan yet' ... come on Missoni what's keeping you?
The best part about having been on a family skiing holiday last winter has to be the thermal underwear. Brilliant for Trick or Treaters, the flimsy costumes over thermal long johns look was a great success and emboldened by my thermal undies I even allowed the front door to be opened more than was needed to post a mini twix to the waiting crowds.
So there you have it sweaters/jumpers/fleeces/hoodies whatever your layering preference - essential 'keep mum happy' items - but obviously you won't put it on unless you're going outside otherwise you'll never feel the benefit of it!
