The topic of our publication today is sweatshirts for women. Their diversity is very large, and the popularity every year not only does not subside, but only grows, so it is not surprising that the girls get lost in stores and do not understand at all which model to buy. Now we will talk about the most trending things that should be in the closet of all the fairer sex. And also find out why it is sometimes better not to follow fashion, but to be guided by our own preferences in choosing clothes, buying ourselves such an important wardrobe item.
What is in your wardrobe?
Any girl, having carefully rummaged on the shelves of her closet and in the drawers of the chest of drawers, will find there up to a dozen different sweaters, sweatshirts and jumpers. And the dilemma will be quite logical for her: what can be worn “in public” from this good, and which is better to be sent to the grandmother in the village for permanent storage forever? All sweaters are in one form or another knitted products. They can have a different style, texture, composition of the material from which they are made, decor, but in any case it will be knitted products.
Many models of knitted sweaters for women are an eternal classic, but some of them have long been given away by the last century. Putting them on, the girl will look like an old maid, but not at all a young and attractive fashionista. Going through the wardrobe, you must, first of all, abandon those things that have actually outlived their own. Blouses with spools, elbows extended and stretched cuffs will not make the image beautiful. In such clothes you should not even go home, it can drive anyone into a gloom!
Fashion trends -2018-2019
So, the unconditional favorites of designers and their clients are classic sweaters with a high neck and traditional sweaters of medium length with a round collar (top photo). For women, knitted sweaters - this is a great opportunity to adjust their shapes, adding the missing volume where necessary, and, conversely, hiding everything from prying eyes.
And if couturiers didn’t like this wardrobe too much, now they offer girls simply amazing models of blouses from rather conservative options to extremely extravagant ones.
In general terms, this year's fashion can be described in just a few words:
- bright;
- textured;
- original
- volumetric.
Thus, sweaters for women should be beautiful saturated colors, an unusual print and decor is welcomed in this type of clothing. As in previous seasons, things with the original or large viscous and oversize models will be relevant.
Trend cutter
The fashion of recent years regarding warm clothes has not changed dramatically. A variety of sweaters are still relevant and loved among most fashion designers. Nevertheless, really beautiful sweaters for women have their own characteristics, which distinguish them from those styles that are no longer fashionable, and therefore it is better not to wear them at all.
At the peak of popularity, asymmetric models are now - they can be sweaters with an elongated back and a shorter front part or all the same oversized. The stylists do not have a single opinion on the ideal length of the product - it all depends on the type of figure of the girl, as well as what she will wear the jacket with. That is, it is worth having in your wardrobe and a tunic covering the buttocks, and a medium-long sweater, and a cropped knitted top with sleeves, under which you need to pry a shirt or blouse.
Almost all fashion designers offer their clients wide, slightly baggy sweaters. For women, this is a great opportunity to hide an imperfect waist. Another distinguishing feature of current models is the lowered shoulder line. Thus, the sweater does not sit on the girl like a glove, but it seems that she borrowed it from her boyfriend. Sleeves should also not be “frayed”, but rather wide and of the correct length. It is impossible to say unequivocally how it is right, for some sweaters it is either a shortened, three-quarter sleeve, or, conversely, it is so long that it spreads over the tips of the fingers when straightened, although it usually needs to be rolled up almost to the elbows.
The correct texture of sweatshirts for women
Among the whole variety of knitwear, sweaters with a beautiful, voluminous texture stand out especially. This does not have to be some sophisticated pattern - just buy a large knit sweater. At first, such products were something outlandish and extravagant, but now you rarely see a girl who would not want to have such a thing in her wardrobe. The trouble is that branded products from this series are very expensive, but you can always knit similar models of sweaters on knitting needles. Women are also attracted to the handmade because they can choose the color of yarn and the style of the product that they create on their own.
Sweaters with beautiful patterns look no less impressive. First of all, it is a variety of braids, bulk gum, schemes such as "Almonds", "Bubbles", "Asian Spikelet" or "Waffle". Also relevant in this season will be the “grid” model and full of holes. Yes, yes, now you can wear not only jeans with holes, but also sweaters.
Non-hazardous clothing
Of course, in the first place you always want to pick up the ideal models of knitted sweaters (knitting) for women, but it is important to look at their quality. The trend is now natural yarn:
- Angora
- mohair;
- sheep or goat hair;
- cotton.
Synthetic threads are also sold, from which they later make knitted sweaters for women (see photo below). It can be viscose, acrylic or polyester. You should not buy fully synthetic products, since such things will not warm in inclement weather, in addition, they quickly become covered with spools and stretched.
Current colors of knitted sweaters
Fortunately for all fashionistas, designers create bright and beautiful clothes not only for the warm spring-summer season, but also for dull winter days. Knitwear presented in store windows delights the eye with a riot of colors and shades. In addition to traditional black, gray, white, beige and red sweaters, things of two diametrically opposite color categories are in demand - in pastel colors and with a deep, rich dark color.
The first include sweatshirts for women of mint, powder, milk, light gray, lilac, pink, peach, lemon. Such things look very gentle and romantic, unlike dark knitwear (burgundy, graphite, emerald, turquoise, chocolate, deep blue, purple), which, on the contrary, are more suited to the classical style of clothing and emphasize the elegant restraint of their mistress.
Is print still fashionable?
Sweaters and jumpers can be not only monophonic, but also with a pattern. As a rule, this is either artistic knitting or a printed image that is applied to the front of the jacket. This technology is not used to decorate knitwear due to their heterogeneous texture. Pictures are printed on insulated knitwear from which various sweatshirts are usually sewn.
A little higher is a photo of knitted sweaters for women, where patterns are created using multi-colored threads. As can be seen from the pictures, clothes with traditional ornaments will be relevant this season, ethnic motifs are also popular among designers. Those who like more fun clothes should pay attention to sweaters with the image of cartoon characters, drawn birds and animals.
Focus on the details
A fresh trend in the decoration of knitted items are fur inserts. At the same time, furs are used in an unusual way (for finishing a collar or hood) - pieces of fur are sewn onto the sleeves or on the front of the jacket, sometimes covering it completely, and sometimes only individual fragments.
But Lurex and rhinestones so beloved by many girls will have to be forgotten. Spangle clothing is no longer in fashion. They were replaced by more conservative beads, ribbons and chains. Fashion designers are very fond of embroidering sweaters with artificial pearls, which are selected to match the color of the yarn. Another innovation for knitwear is fringe, it is not decorated with a hem of sweaters and sweaters, but it is threaded in the middle of the cloth, which is very similar to the ethnic motifs of the Indians.
Fashion for donuts
Girls with sweater uniforms need to be selected carefully. The fact is that voluminous clothes are able to increase them even more and visually ruin the imperfect proportions. To avoid this, sweaters for overweight women should be bought based on the following recommendations:
- the correct length of sweaters, jumpers and cardigans is from the middle of the thigh to the knee, short models only emphasize the large belly and folds at the waist;
- volume knitting will make the figure even heavier, so you should not choose things with a large pattern or made of thick yarn;
- it is best to opt for sweaters with a slightly flared silhouette or fitted models; oversize is a bad choice for puffy girls;
- you need to be careful with ruffles and shuttlecocks - such decorative elements on clothes can make the figure more proportional, but if there are too many of them, this will lead to a completely opposite result;
- the neck of the sweater is of great importance, it is best if it has a V-shaped neckline - it will visually lengthen the neck and help demonstrate a beautiful bust.
The thin ones cry too
Problems with choosing a wardrobe are not only for full girls, but also for young ladies of a slender physique. It is about those women who are distinguished by excessive thinness. Knitted sweaters for them - this is a great opportunity to visually add yourself a few missing kilograms. Such girls can afford multi-layered outfits in which sweaters are combined with shirts and dresses. But there is no need to overdo it and put on clothes several sizes larger, this will only emphasize the existing drawbacks of the figure.
What can I wear a sweater with?
This wardrobe item is really universal, one might even say basic. Several different sweaters should be in the arsenal of any fashionista, because they are perfectly combined with almost any clothing! It can be trousers, including jeans or leggings, and skirts. Sweatshirts fit well into different styles of clothing - they perfectly complement the office look, diversify the romantic look, and, of course, without them it is impossible to imagine an ultramodern casual. In coming up with your image, the main thing is not to be afraid to experiment, follow fashion trends and remember your common sense, and then your appearance will be the subject of envy and talk for all girlfriends (and not only), and not their ridicule.
