Tight sweaters tend to wrap quite well around a lady's figure. Yet they ''just'' [[Form-Fitting Wardrobe|outline the figure]] (there's a reason shapely breasts are called "sweater puppies") while barely actually showing anything. That makes wearing a tight sweater some of the most tasteful [[Fetish Fuel]] around (not to mention one of the few actually acknowledged in mainstream fiction).
Not that this can ''never'' be tacky. It's just if ladies want to look sexy, and the choice is between a halter top or an angora sweater, the latter is far less likely to have the wearer say, "Just because I'm wearing these clothes doesn't make me a prostitute!" It's more the "I'm way out of your league," kind of sexy. (Particularly fuzzy sweaters emphasize this by subtly echoing [[Pretty in Mink|glamorous fur]].)

* Christina Hendricks' character Joan Holloway on ''[[Mad Men]]'' deploys sweaters coupled with a variety of form-fitting but tasteful business skirts to [[Ms. Fanservice|devastating effect.]]
** Once she tells a cleavage-flaunting new secretary to button up, saying that less is more if you know what you're doing. Said secretary ends up getting company partner Roger Sterling, Joan's former lover, to leave his wife for her, which says something about Roger's tastes.
* Rachel Berry (played by Lea Michele) tends to wear these a lot on ''[[Glee]]''. The show even [[Lampshades]] it.

* The girls of ''[[Charmed]]'' like wearing sweaters.
* Jack was often distracted by sweater girls on ''[[Three's Company]]'', resulting in [[Freudian Slip|Freudian Slips]] on several occasions: "You need to separate the yolk from the sweater." "I just came to button up my coffee."
* ''[[Spooks]]'' "Wear a tight sweater tomorrow."
* In an episode of ''[[Happy Days]]'' Richie, Potsie, and Ralph break into another student's college dorm to get back an incriminating photo he took of Richie; they discover a [[Useful Notes/Nudism|nudist camp]] magazine and get [[Distracted by the Sexy]]. Potsie: "Wow. [[Comically Missing the Point|How'd you like to see a sweater on that!]]"
* Annie in ''[[Community]]'' has a wardrobe that appears to mostly consist of cardigans.
