Sleeveless Cardigans

In the 19th century, in Great Britain, lords often wore military uniforms. But, since the English islands are far from the southernmost latitudes, such clothes needed to be insulated. One of the lords decided to use a special type of button-down sweater for these purposes, which later became one of the most popular types of clothing. What do you think was the name of this lord? That's right, his name was Lord James Cardigan.

Almost two centuries have passed since the invention of the first cardigan, and this model has not only not lost in time, but, on the contrary, is gaining its popularity even more with each new fashion season. The number of various models is simply amazing, from this abundance any fashionista will be able to pick up a thing for her wardrobe.

Exceptions are cardigans made of wool or of very dense fabric, which are used as a cape on the main ensemble. But they, as a rule, play a greater role in style, rather than in adding warmth.

Classics never go out of style. This truth is once again confirmed by sleeveless cardigan models, among which you can often find styles created for attending business events. As a rule, they are not too long - maximum, to the middle of the thigh, but not short - they always cover the waist.

V-neckline is a priority in strict business models, but sometimes there are alternative options. For example, a sleeveless cardigan looks very impressive, but with a debugged collar. It looks a bit like a jacket, but it is given a softer texture of the fabric and the absence of sleeves. However, to date, even the most stringent dress code does not provide for the mandatory wearing of a jacket for work, so a cardigan of strictly tones will be quite appropriate in the office.

Classic black or austere dark gray makes them a great alternative to a serious jacket and complements the business image. The silhouette of a cardigan can be straight or slightly fitted, all other styles, unfortunately, are suitable only for informal events. But this is for the best, because no model can so unobtrusively emphasize the sexuality of your figure as a tight-fitting but austere cardigan made of knitwear or fine wool.

A cardigan with a smell, but without sleeves, can be a great option to attend fun events with a bunch of people. It can perfectly complement almost any image, successfully fitting into a variety of ensembles. Often there is no clasp on such a model, so the provided belt or thin strap is an accessory that acts both as a functional and as a decorative element.

An elongated model of a sleeveless cardigan should be a must-have thing in the wardrobe of every girl who has a couple of extra pounds. Due to its length, it perfectly conceals such problem areas as buttocks and hips, and a correctly selected color or print can unrecognizably change your silhouette by visually stretching it and making it more harmonous.

Thin wool cardigans can afford both slim women and ladies “in the body”. Most often, machine knitting is used to create such a fabric, therefore, even if there is a three-dimensional image on it, the wool will not add a few extra centimeters in volume to the image, but, unfortunately, it will not adjust the figure, showing it as it is.

Sleeveless knitted cardigans will be a great solution for creating both a casual and a festive look. A feature of the texture of this fabric is the ability to fit the silhouette, but at the same time not to “overload” it. Therefore, knitted cardigans have a particularly wide range of models for every taste and type of figure.

Since a sleeveless cardigan, due to its style, often acts as an additional element of the image, its color should not be catchy. A simple print is allowed, with which you plan to slightly adjust your figure.

A distinctive feature of a sleeveless cardigan is that the same model in different images can look completely different. For example, a black knitted cardigan of a fitted silhouette with buttons can be safely put on in the office, combining it with a white blouse and strict straight trousers. And if we wear the same model with skinny jeans and a bright top, complementing the look with high heels and a bright handbag, we get a wonderful ensemble for going to the movies or meeting with friends.

When choosing an ensemble with a sleeveless cardigan as an additional element, the following points should be considered:

• Only thin and tight things should be combined with a cardigan made of thick fabric or thick wool: skinny jeans, thin turtlenecks, fitting the silhouette of the dress;
• In combination with a skirt, a cardigan can be selected longer only in combination with narrower and straight models. Volumetric skirts such as a bell. the sun or a pack, you can only wear a cardigan with a length just below the waist;
• A cardigan without a fastener looks much more spectacular, so if you purchased a model with buttons, try to fasten it as little as possible. This will give your image a kind of negligence that looks very stylish and elegant;
• Try to combine cardigans from natural fabrics with the same natural things. The texture of cotton and natural wool does not go well with sheer polyester or lycra.
