Christmas sweaters

On the eve of the New Year holidays, each of us wants to let a little fairy magic into our lives. Even adults who have not believed in Santa Claus, Santa Claus and other New Year characters for a long time now feel the presence of something wonderful. Themed films and music, home decoration and, of course, unusual outfits that come out of the closets only once a year help create the New Year mood.

The idea to dress up in funny sweaters with New Year and Christmas drawings came to us from American and Western cultures. It is there that the whole family has a tradition of putting on similar clothes for pre-holiday photographs and feasts.

In today's article, we will talk more about this new wardrobe item for most of us. The classic model of a sweater assumes the presence of a high collar that fits around the neck, but now sweaters without a collar - jumpers and pullovers - are becoming increasingly popular.

First, let's define what a sweater is. Usually, this word means a warm knitted pullover without fasteners with long sleeves and a high collar. But in New Year's sweater models, the neck is mostly absent.

Such sweaters are worn by both men and women. Sweaters are made of woolen, synthetic or mixed yarn.

This garment has many varieties. They differ, including in drawing.Sweaters are striped, openwork, with braids and other patterns. Especially popular in recent years are sweaters with winter motifs.

Christmas trees, snowflakes and deer are traditional elements of Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic folk patterns. In our country, such sweaters are worn for a long time, but they became really fashionable only a few years ago. So, sweaters with Scandinavian and Icelandic ornaments are the first type of New Year's sweaters.

The second view is familiar to each of us in American films and series of the 80s and 90s. If the picture took place on Christmas Eve, most likely, it flashed a character in a bright red sweater with Santa Claus, a snowman, a reindeer team and other attributes of his favorite holiday.

Gradually, similar sweaters began to appear in the wardrobes of Russian fashionistas. True, the most patriotic of them still choose models with drawings from our reality: Santa Claus, bullfinches on a snowy mountain ash, characters from folk tales and Soviet cartoons, etc.
