Tepliy is “warm” in Ukrainian. When it’s time to pull out your warm, cozy sweaters for the cold seasons, this is the sweater I think of. That day there is a chill in the air and you need an extra layer to wear on your evening walk, Tepliy is there to provide that comfort while keeping you from overheating. Tepliy is the sweater you will be sad to put away for the summer, and it’s the first one you’ll wear when the weather allows.
