The Tried and True Way to Keep Your Sweaters From Shedding

If there's one category of fashion that everyone will undoubtedly have in their wardrobes right now, it's knitwear—more specifically speaking, sweaters. Whether it's a soft cashmere crewneck or a chunky oversized cardigan, sweaters have a way of not only being ultra-cozy but also chic as heck. That said, nothing ruins the moment of wearing a good sweater as much as when it starts to shed. Luckily, when you know how to stop a sweater from shedding—or at the very least, how to keep it at bay—you'll be happy every time you pull your knits out for the day. And better yet, they'll last longer, too.

To help make sure your knitwear gets the best treatment possible, we asked Mandkhai Jargalsaikan, the designer behind the Mongolian knitwear brand Mandkhai to share her best tips on everything you can do to avoid maximum shedding. Scroll down to see what she has to say below.

According to the designer, all-natural fibers like cashmere pill and shed, which usually happens from rubbing against different surfaces. However, if you want to keep them from rubbing in the same places all the time, she suggests regularly rotating your sweaters and caring for them properly.

In the case that your sweater has already started to shed or pill, Jargalsaikan suggests gently picking the bubbles by hand instead of shaving, as that will remove a lot of fiber and will cause potential holes in the cashmere sweater over time. "I know it's more time consuming, but it’s worth it in the end," she shares. "Good-quality cashmere will stop pilling after a while and gets even softer with every wash."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
