What is a sweater?
What is it
A sweater is an outer garment made by knitting by hand or on special machines. The classic sweater model has a collar that completely covers the throat. The origin of the word "sweater" has English roots and is translated as "sweat". Such a name may seem strange to a modern person, but this item of clothing was associated with such a phenomenon at the time of its distribution in wardrobes.
Features and differences
From other types of outerwear that resemble it, a sweater can be distinguished by several essential features: a collar, manufacturing technology and the absence of fasteners.
The presence of a collar is a prerequisite for a knitted product to be called a sweater. Any neckline: both V-shaped and round, turns the model into a pullover or jumper. The warm high collar reliably protects the neck from wind and cold and emphasizes the beauty of the neck in the best possible way.
The traditional sweater production technology excludes the use of ready-made knitted fabrics. Beautiful patterns and a perfect fit are obtained by knitting the entire product with knitting needles and crochets by hand or on knitting machines.
Sweaters do not have any kind of fasteners, even if they are fastened under the throat. A zipper and buttons may be present on jumpers and sweaters, but are always absent on sweaters.

The sweater goes well with denim. It can be tight jeans or a tight pencil skirt. In such a set, it is warm and comfortable to go shopping or do current organizational affairs.
