Cropped sweater

Glancing at Wikipedia, we learn that a sweater is a knit product for the upper body that does not have fasteners. Its distinctive features are long sleeves and a high collar, tight-fitting neck.

Therefore, in this article we will consider sweaters in this very broad context.

When we see a shortened model of a sweater or sweater somewhere, we immediately begin to think about how it is correctly called. In fact, quite straightforward -a shortened sweater or crop sweater (from English “crop” - cut off).

A short sweater belongs to the category of one-piece knitted clothes and has its own distinctive features:

1. Length. As much as possible it reaches the waist, but can be much higher - barely cover the shoulder blades. Young girls often prefer a length just above the navel, which allows them to demonstrate a flat tummy.
2. Sleeve. May be long or shortened. “Stretched” models look interesting in which a long sleeve covers the wrist.
3. Material. There are no restrictions on the choice of material. It can be thick yarn or thin openwork knitting, depending on the season.

A cropped sweater is perfect for slender girls with a boyish figure. The same goes for the owners of the figure "triangle", which have narrow hips and broad shoulders.

Slender girls with an hourglass figure can also wear wide sweaters, putting them on with tight trousers or skirts.

But for owners of wide hips and pronounced buttocks, a cropped sweater will not work. The only exception is if you put it on as the bottom thing by throwing on top an elongated cardigan.

Volumetric free models still continue to be popular. A baggy cropped sweater looks very stylish and sexy on slender girls. The volume can be light or very significant. If you are very thin, it is permissible to wear a sweater, which seems to be larger by 4-5 sizes. Particularly interesting are models with a "stretched" effect. In short, a wide cropped sweater is a must have wardrobe of a fashionable woman.

Cropped sweaters with long or even elongated sleeves are in fashion. The image of “Pierrot” is well suited to thin girls, and long sleeves will not let your hands freeze. If you forget gloves at home, you can always hide your hands in a knitted fabric.

An interesting crop sweater with short sleeves. Sleeve length ¾ is also in demand.

One of the fashionable trends is layering, so this sweater, worn over a shirt, looks especially stylish. You will get a look in which not only the bottom of the shirt and collar will look out, but also a significant part of the sleeve. It looks very unusual.

Volume knitting and an unusual texture are in fashion. It can be geometric weaves, braids, plaits, various patterns. It is best to combine out with trousers or skirts with a smooth texture. For example, with jeans or leather leggings.

Dimensionless sweaters are in fashion, which we already wrote about above. Volume allows you to simulate a figure and hide imperfections in the upper body. It is especially worth paying attention to models in the style of grunge 90s.

If you like a trend like layering, a cropped sweater can be worn over a shirt or blouse, throwing a cardigan or jacket on top.

Asymmetry is relevant today, so you should pay attention to unusual cut models that will look very original.

As for the texture, the most diverse options are in fashion, so each fashionista will be able to choose a sweater to her taste. Pay attention not only to bulk knitting, but also to smooth models with appliqués, beads, rhinestones and large beads.

The decor should look bright and contrast with the overall color scheme of the product. Such a sweater will allow you to emphasize your individuality and stand out among the rest.

Wool is considered the best material for a warm sweater; it retains heat well even in severe frost. However, a sweater made of such material is not suitable for allergic people, who are better off preferring artificial materials. For example, acrylic, with which wool is often combined today.

Cashmere is also a natural material that is thinner and softer. It is made from the undercoat of a cashmere goat. A sweater made of such material is very warm and pleasant to the touch, it is perfect for the autumn-winter period.

Often used to sew shortened lightweight sweaters, as it is a lightweight, natural, breathable material. This sweater is ideal for the warm off-season.

It does not warm very well, therefore it is not suitable for winter. However, cotton is a fairly thin material, so such a shortened sweater can be worn under a jacket or cardigan.

Acrylic sweaters are very popular.They look very fashionable and stylish, they are inexpensive and they will keep warm well. The only drawback of acrylic is its quick wear. However, the service life is fully justified by its cost.

A white cropped sweater is also very popular. It combines wonderfully not only with jeans, but also with romantic dresses and skirts, allowing you to create an airy layered look.

Calm colors also never go out of style. This year, give preference to cream, beige and other pastel shades.

A blue crop sweater suits girls of any age, it looks very beautiful and stylish. Dark saturated shades are suitable for work, bright colors will be appropriate in everyday wardrobe, and pastel colors will be suitable for a romantic date.

All shades of green are popular, they look very attractive, instantly refresh any image. Choose saturated deep shades, and leave the bright "acidic" until better times.

A red sweater is suitable for a business and holiday look, it instantly attracts attention. Give preference to bright red or saturated burgundy.

A short sweater, if you wear it as an independent item, will look great with high-waisted jeans. Make sure that the length of the sweater is sufficient, it is permissible that only a small strip of skin is visible between the belt and hem.

This is permissible if you have a flat tummy, otherwise give preference to a crop sweater of such a length that would be in contact with the belt of trousers or jeans.

With a skirt, a cropped sweater looks no less attractive. As in the previous case, a prerequisite is the presence of a high waist. The most common option is a pencil skirt, but it also looks good with a trapeze skirt. In this case, discard the voluminous sweater in favor of a fitted model.

If you want to wear a crop sweater for work, put it on top of your shirt. This season it’s fashionable to flaunt not only the hem and collar, but also the cuffs. Pants or high-waisted jeans can be used as the bottom.

To create a romantic look, wear a cropped sweater over a light dress. It is desirable that it be with a floral print. But the sweater for him needs to be selected monophonic, but made in the same color scheme.

A crop sweater is easily combined with a wide variety of outerwear. The most optimal option is a jacket, a bomber jacket or a jacket-jacket. Any of these options will help you create a truly fashionable and stylish look!
