Sweatshirts

The word "sweatshirt" is on everyone’s lips, but few people understand what it really is. A sweatshirt is a sweater, but it’s cut like a sweatshirt. In English, the word is written as sweatshirt, therefore, literally, it is called a sweater-blouse (sweater - sweater, shirt - blouse).

Sweatshirt has enough features. His coat is loose, and he is sewn from knitwear, which is insulated for autumn and winter models. The neckline of the sweatshirts is round, and underneath there is always an insert of a wide elastic band of v-shape. Like regular sweaters, this variation has no fasteners. Raglan sleeves.

The specifics of sweatshirts also apply to decoration. On some models, these are hoods or pockets, on others, sequins and rhinestones. The obligatory part is a wide elastic band on the sleeves and the belt. One of the main signs is bright prints and inscriptions. Previously, the sweatshirt was intended only for sports, now it has no restrictions.

In everyday life a lot of words appeared that came to us from abroad, which makes it hard to understand what they really mean. Sometimes it seems that there is no difference between them. To avoid confusion, we will consider how these products differ from each other.

It is this part of the thing that is determining. Its length can be either classic or three-quarters, often you can see a double sleeve - a long one comes out of a short one. Long slits are made of thin soft fabric and most often emphasize the figure. You can use it as underwear, sportswear or an independent item of clothing.

Sweatshirt is a sporty version of a loose-fitting sweater. There are models with full-length fasteners or without them at all. Frequent items are hoods and pockets.Made from dense fabrics to maintain heat. First of all, the sweatshirt refers specifically to the sports variety of clothing.

Like any other piece of clothing, a sweatshirt can favorably emphasize your merits or ruin the whole look. You can find the perfect model suitable for a person with any figure and type of appearance.

The length to and below the hips can hide the tummy, and wide sleeves or a print at the top of the product visually increase the chest and shoulders. Dark colored inserts at the waist will help you look slimmer. Bold ones should avoid horizontal lines in the drawing and patch pockets. Slender can afford multi-layer fashion models.

The choice should depend not only on the appearance, but also on the purpose for which the sweatshirt is acquired. For sports, the classic model without decorations, inserts and innovative solutions in the choice of material will be ideal.

Sequins and lace, prints and many other decorative ornaments are great for going out - to a party or meeting with friends. Comfortable and warm, with a small amount of decor and not too defiant patterns will be indispensable for everyday life.

Once a sweatshirt was intended exclusively for sports, now it has become a truly universal part of the wardrobe. Over time, designers allowed themselves more and more bold and original solutions in modeling. They departed from the traditional understanding of sweatshirts, allowed themselves to experiment with shapes, lengths and decor, so many combinations appeared.

The very look of the sweatshirt, its very understanding of how loose-fitting clothes with a raglan sleeve underwent rethinking. In addition to the classic model, it is now easy to find a dress sweatshirt (knee-length), sweatshirt sweater (with set-in sleeves), sweatshirt-sweater (knitted with fitted collar), polo sweatshirt (with short sleeves), bomber sweatshirt (with fastener).

If before a sweatshirt meant the simplest appearance, now they use hoods and pockets, collars, zippers, cuts on the sides to sew them. The changes affected the cut: they went from the usual free to oversize, or, conversely, quite tight, or even completely on one shoulder. A variety of fabrics made it possible to produce light summer and warm winter items.

Having a choice of lengths makes them a good buy for people with completely different shapes. The classic model - shortened (to the middle of the hips), is the most popular, as it is ideal for combining with any clothes. Long, below the hips, often go into a cut sweatshirt dress, so they will help hide the flaws of the figure. Products short to the hips returned to fashion, with their help you can emphasize the beautiful waist line. Cropped sweatshirts also found their place on the shelves, which completely open the view of the flat tummy.

Changes affected not only the length of the thing, but also the sleeve, as well as its style at all. Initially, a sweatshirt suggested the presence of a raglan sleeve. Its feature is the absence of a seam between the shoulder and the sleeve and the increased depth of the floodplain. That is, when talking about raglan, we mean the sloping shoulder line.

Most of all creativity and imagination is shown by fashion designers when decorating sweatshirts. Sports style has faded into the background, giving way to a pedestal of motley and luxury. Sweatshirts are not only famous for prints.

The fabric is richly decorated with sequins and rhinestones, beads, beads, glass beads, pebbles or metal inserts.

Often you can see a whole application, as well as original models with spikes.

Often, models combine in fabric, however, it can also be an independent decoration on clothes. Most often, it depicts floral motifs or is used to apply inscriptions and logos.

Hand-painted with acrylics with brushes, sponges and airbrushes began to enjoy increasing popularity. Sweatshirts with drawings look bright, besides they are also practical, because such an image is resistant to different temperatures, damage and moisture.

A separate place in the decoration of sweatshirts is decoration from other fabrics. Leather sleeves have become an integral part of many brands. They are mainly used for models of calmer gray or dark tones, but often they have bright and interesting prints. Thanks to the skin, the sweatshirt immediately plays with new colors, it adds audacity to the image.

Lace, on the contrary, brings tenderness and softness. They may be present on the product as patches on the shoulders, sleeves, stomach or any other part. And they can be completely or partially, for example, on the back, replaced by lace patterns. Often from the sweatshirt there are only elastic bands on the sleeves and the belt.

The elastic bands on the sleeves and the bottom edge remain an invariable part of even knitwear. Not only classic raglan sleeves are possible, but also set-in ones. Product length may vary.

The most common are plain sweatshirts. The classic fabric print is replaced with knitted patterns, which looks no less interesting. There is also a different style of knitting, which affects the pattern of the fabric, due to which the originality of the sweater is achieved.

Unless fit large drawings, especially animals, and horizontal stripes, but there remains a huge selection of small prints. You should not take a thing from heavy knitwear, as it holds its shape well, because of which it will look heavy.

The most win-win model is a monophonic product, especially dark shades, because they visually hide what you want to hide. This does not mean that you should take only black sweatshirts. Blue, green, brown, rich wine and gray shades. They are not only fashionable this season, but also help you emphasize the beauty of your type of appearance.

First of all, clothes for expectant mothers should be comfortable and practical. Sweatshirts do not emphasize the tummy, as some pregnant women like, but they have many other advantages. They are soft and comfortable, they have no fasteners and they are easy to put on and take off. Most importantly, a correctly selected model will not be pulled to the chest or tummy, which means nothing will harm the baby. In addition, these clothes will not constrain movements and will warm in the cool season.

The range of sweatshirts for pregnant and lactating mothers is not limited to plain models. Floral prints are popular, because they emphasize the femininity of the image.
