A sweater is a knitwear designed for the upper body without fasteners. It is characterized by the presence of long sleeves and a high two- or three-layer collar.
In everyday life, pullovers and sweaters are ranked among them, although they do not have a high collar. It is in such a broad context that sweaters will be considered in this article.
Types and types of strips
There are so many kinds of stripes that it is sometimes unclear whether the “zebra” is either black and white stripes, or white and black. They differ in direction (horizontal, vertical and diagonal), color combination (two-tone and multi-color), width (narrow and wide).
The combination of different types creates many types: from the classic "vest", to the motley paradise of stripes of various widths and shapes.
This year, thin strips of delicate colors and their various combinations among themselves are in fashion.
Selection tips
A striped sweater can be the best friend for any woman, because in it you can look bright and elegant at the same time. It will help to highlight the advantages of the figure or hide the flaws, but you need to follow a few rules when choosing a model.
The vertical, especially thin, strip is ideal for girls of low or with curvaceous forms, because it visually stretches and slim. Horizontal stripes are not recommended to them, since you will appear lower and wider, but they look good on thin and tall ones.
In addition, they can be used to emphasize the chest, waist or hips, so they are good for those who have an inexpressive figure.
It is important to consider not only the direction of the strips, but also their width and color. A light wide stripe on the chest will visually increase it, a dark one, on the contrary, will mask the problem areas, and oblique lines emphasize the elegant waist.
Owners of slender bodies can afford the most daring experiments with linear drawings of all kinds.
What to wear?
Striped sweaters are truly universal, because they can be made an attribute of both everyday attire and business. It is best to combine them with trousers, jeans, a miniskirt and a pencil skirt or shorts. You can wear a jacket over a sweater and pullover. The best part is that the image can be completed with any type of shoe, starting with boots and ending with high-heeled shoes.
Striped sweaters will diversify any wardrobe, the main thing is to remember one important rule: all other clothes, shoes and accessories must be used in plain color. Moreover, their colors should be the more neutral, the brighter the top.
Someone underestimates the linear pattern, someone is afraid of it and deliberately avoids it, but it can be a great purchase for the wardrobe of any fashionista. Striped elements constantly appear in the collections of the world's leading couturiers. Feel free to experiment and you will be pleasantly surprised by the result!
