As a professional school sweater supplier since the year 2000, Cozyknit Sweater has worked with buyers from the USA, EU, and Africa.
In 2016, our team went to Ghana, West Africa, for two weeks to develop a deeper understanding of customers' design needs and current school uniform sweaters trends. During that period, we formed cooperative ties with many schools. The design of school sweaters must meet not only the requirements of modern campus culture but also the personal requirements of students. This is quite tough for some designers, but we have pretty rich experience. This article will share some of our top school cardigan design tips.

The importance of school sweater design
Producing school sweaters for K-12 schools is a vast market. With so many people seeing the design, it's vital to get it right. A smart and elegant school sweater design projects the school's image to students, teachers, parents, and the wider public.
1. School sweaters represent the culture of the school.
School uniforms reflect a school's culture, cultivation, and taste. Schools can make good use of school uniform sweaters to actively publicize themselves to the outside world. A group of good school cardigan designs gives people an impression of beauty and refinement. This helps broadcast the school's identity, and it can improve the influence and popularity of the school in the outside world.
2. School sweaters should be coordinated with the campus environment.
From lower to upper grades, a school is a whole and should have a standard, unified image. Unsightly, school uniform sweaters affect the overall coordination with the school's aesthetic. Good school sweater design is pretty important. For example, at flag-raising ceremonies and assemblies, neat and good-looking uniforms promote the development of the school's collective self-concept and enhance students' self-discipline and pride.
3. The style of school sweaters should be solemn and generous and should be consistent with the school environment.
Good school uniforms suit every student, regardless of their background. If a school uniform is good enough, parents don't need to spoil their kids with famous brand clothes and other luxuries. Other students feel the pressure of living up to fleeting trends and expensive styles. A high-quality unified school sweater avoids the above situation and helps develop equality amongst students of different backgrounds.
School sweater design guidelines
1. Main sweater theme and style
Students' clothes should portray feelings of both youth and maturity. The school sweater takes the collective life of the school as the theme and should have a concise and unified style. Its style should be elegant, without excessive cumbersome decoration, and have a logo.
2. Color positioning
The first thing that makes an impression is color. Color plays a leading role in people's vision. Therefore, the color design of school sweaters should give people a good, strong impression. Strong contrasting colors (except in sports tracksuits) should not be used. Strange patterns may also distract students from their studies.
In color design, four aspects can be considered.
1). Get ideas from logo colors;
2). Get information from popular colors or surveys of students' and parents' preferences;
3). Determine the color according to the campus environment (such as building colors, sign colors, and conventional colors in teaching);
4). Start with students' living habits to make the clothing color match students' psychology.
The nine recommended colors for school sweaters are red, burgundy, black, navy, blue, royal, green, grey, and purple.
3. Fabric choice
School sweater designs generally use dirt-resistant, washable, breathable, comfortable, and elastic materials. Students are in an extended growth period, with daily activity and a large replacement rate.
Recommended materials for school sweaters are:

2). 45% Cotton, 55% Acrylic (contact us to get the color book with 377 colors!)
3). 100% Acrylic (contact us to get a color book with 354 colors!)
4). 100% Polyester (contact us to get a color book with 90 colors!)
4. Style features
The school sweater style should be practical and classic. It can be developed based on tradition. Basic shirts, ties, suits, sweaters, and coats are all needed to adapt to changes in the weather over the school year. We also notice there are many good-looking classic school sweater styles in Hong Kong, Macao, and Japan.
5. Logo
Embellish the school name, emblem, and other symbolic patterns in obvious positions such as collars, sleeves, and the chest. The recommended logo styles are:

1). Direct embroidery on the sweater body;
2). Embroidery patch, sewn on the sweater body;
3). Embroidery patch, also called crest, is most recommended, as it is okay to make all small details clear enough.
Conclusion
A good school uniform can establish brand awareness and become a campus cultural image for students, parents, and teachers. In school sweater design, we must carefully consider various factors and adapt to the requirements of the environment and time. It is essential to seek the best combination between individual personality and student collectivity.
