twinsets
Coordinated sweater pairs
Twinsets are matching sets of a cardigan and pullover sweater designed to be worn together, typically in the same color and fabric.
The style became iconic mid-20th-century feminine fashion, associated with a polished, conservative look: She wore pearls with her cashmere twinset.
