Sweater dress

A real woman always wants to stay fashionable and beautiful. Even in the coldest time of the year, when it would seem very difficult to emphasize your figure under a thick layer of warm sweaters and jeans. An elegant sweater dress is the perfect option for the cold season and not only for him.

Today it is difficult to say for sure when exactly this item of women's wardrobe appeared. According to one version, the prototype of a modern dress was a wide knitted jacket that was used by Scandinavian fishermen to protect them from the cold and wind. These clothes were soon adopted by women, using sweatshirts, like cropped warm dresses.

At first, such sweaters were used only as home or work clothes, and only at the end of the 20th century a sweater dress appeared at the most fashionable shows and became one of the most popular elements of women's clothing.

What makes a sweater so good? It can be recommended to be worn by those who prefer a feminine and, at the same time, comfortable and practical style of dress. In such a dress it will be warm and cozy, and such an outfit always looks very relevant and beautiful.

The traditional model of such a sweater has a fitted cut, long sleeves and a high collar or collar-collar. You can also find dresses of a straight cut with a V-shaped or round neckline, as well as a boat-shaped neckline. Some models are decorated with a stand-up collar.

The most common version of the collar - the collar can also have several variations - volumetric, wide, narrow, etc. The sleeve may be long, short, or to the elbow. Moreover, a long sleeve can cover not only the hand to the wrist, but also part of the hand.

The length of the sweater itself can also vary. The most common option is with a knee length or slightly higher. The dress can be straight or slightly fitted to the cuff at the bottom.

Lovers of dresses for the floor can recommend elongated models of sweaters. They usually have a flared style and are often complemented by a belt. Models of thick, textured knitting with embossed patterns made of yarn of deep, saturated colors, for example, blue, red, dark green, etc. look beautiful.

To create sweaters, natural wool, acrylic, polyester and other materials are used. Warm, bulk yarn is more suitable for winter sweater options, lightweight - for thinner models.

Often, thin monophonic lace is used to decorate elegant dresses. It is used to design the hem and can have different widths. The color is chosen either to match the dress, or contrasting.

This does not apply to women with an hourglass figure. A thin knit sweater will perfectly accentuate the slim waist and rounded bend of the hips.

Owners of figures in the “pear” type are better to turn their attention to the models expanded with a downward collar. This will help balance the upper and lower body, and the figure will look more harmonious.

When choosing a suitable model for such a sweater, the following points should be considered:

• Length. Universal length - to the middle of the knee. Such a dress can be worn in the office, at a gala event, and at a party. A dress of this length will perfectly emphasize the dignity of the figure and hide its flaws.

• Style. The fitted, tight-fitting style looks perfect on slim figures. If there are problems with excess weight, then it is better to choose a direct version of a sweater or flared.

• Embossed, large knitting is more suitable for slender girls, and small - full. The vertical pattern visually extends the figure, the horizontal one fills it.

• If the sweater is selected as office clothes, then it is best to choose classic colors: blue, steel, black. For everyday life, you can recommend light, pastel shades, and for the solemn event - a dress of beautiful mint, coral, lavender color.

This season, designers are betting on an unusual and original weaving and pattern that knits a sweater. In fashion - ethnic ornaments, traditional braids, boucle, etc.

An important role is given to prints. Large plant patterns, geometry, black and white inscriptions are very relevant.

Every bride dreams of an unusually beautiful wedding dress. But what if the wedding is scheduled for the winter season or on a wedding day the weather is cold and windy? An elegant outfit or a sweater made of thin, beautiful knitwear will help to get out of the situation and not spoil the beauty of the wedding dress.

A light blouse or sweater should have the most simple and concise cut so as not to overlap the beauty of the wedding dress, but to emphasize it. The color scheme should be neutral, you can additionally decorate the jacket with a beautiful ribbon.

It is great if the color of the sweater will be combined in color with any of the accessories or flowers in the wedding bouquet. Sweatshirts of milk, cream, pale pink, blue color look very gentle and feminine.

An elegant sweater has undeniable advantages over wedding fur coats or boleros. Firstly, a sweater will always warm better than a small, open bolero.Secondly, such a sweater can then be worn in everyday life, combining it with other clothes.

The style of the sweater must be selected, starting from the style of the dress itself. For curvy models, thin, tight sweaters are best suited. And vice versa - a lush sweater will effectively emphasize the beauty of a tight dress.

Ladies with curvaceous forms are unlikely to fit models of sweaters of large, embossed knitting. In such sweaters, the figure will appear much larger than it actually is. It is best to choose a straight-cut sweater made in fine knitting; knitted models with large, bright inserts are acceptable.

The color scheme of models of this season includes dark colors: black, dark gray, blue, green, brown. Light and pastel colors are also relevant: peach, blue, beige, light gray, cream, etc. Lovers of custom solutions can recommend models of swamp, olive color, as well as ocher and indigo.

As an outerwear on such a sweater, you can put on a leather jacket, a leather jacket, an elegant blazer, a straight coat, a fur vest, etc.
