Sweaters in the early 1900s were thick and scratchy, made from wool. Today we enjoy soft, cozy sweaters in countless colors, shapes, and styles. Historically, women didn’t wear cardigans until the early twentieth century, when women’s fashion began to undergo a transformation as they enjoyed new levels of independence. Sweaters became more acceptable attire as women began to become more active, participating in leisure sports and other activities outside the home.
