Fashionable and beautiful sweaters 2022
Sweater - what is it?
A sweater is a knitted warm jacket without fasteners with a high collar that fits around the neck. The collar can be turned up in two or three layers. The sleeves of the sweater are long.
What is the difference
From pullover
A pullover, unlike a sweater, does not have a collar. This is a tight-fitting outerwear item with a V-shaped (rarely round) neckline.
From a jumper
A jumper is a knitted product with any neckline or collar, except for a high one. If the jumper has a high collar, then it will already be a sweater. Strictly speaking, in English, jumper and sweater are synonyms. It can be with or without a clasp on top. Length, as a rule, to the hips or slightly covers them.
From cardigan
The cardigan stands out among its knitted counterparts with an important and noticeable detail: an indispensable attribute of a cardigan is a fastener from top to bottom, which is located in front of the product.
How to choose
The most important selection criterion is, of course, the material. A sweater can be made of wool, cotton yarn, noble expensive fibers ... Focus on the sensitivity of your skin (for example, wool can be very prickly, not everyone can wear a sweater made of 100% wool!) And, of course, a wallet.Soft and delicate cashmere and merino wool sweaters tend to be quite expensive. The next important parameter is style.
Kinds
With English rubber
The classic version of the sweater is a jacket with knitted elastic at the bottom, on the cuffs of the sleeves and on the collar. This is a fairly comfortable cut, contributing to the best fit and, as a result, the preservation of heat. English gum differs from the usual one in greater relief and less extensibility, which makes it more decorative and practical.
With open back
A sweater with an open back looks quite extravagant. Make sure that the bra straps do not peek through the neckline, it looks untidy and ugly and negates all the playfulness and piquancy of the style.
Wide
Recently, loose sweaters have been at the peak of fashion. These can be flyaways with asymmetrical corners, an oversized sweater or a large-knit sweater, as if stretched or several sizes larger. Any of these options is relevant, the main thing is to be able to choose the appropriate accessories for it.
Christmas
The Christmas sweater is named for its pattern, which evokes persistent associations with this bright holiday: these are deer, snowflakes, Christmas trees. This jacket looks very cozy and homely. It will be appropriate to look at a country party by the fireplace, a ski resort, and just on a cold winter day.
Weed sweater
Grass is a type of shaped yarn resembling grass. "Blade blades" can be short, or they can be more than 5 cm long. A sweater knitted from such yarn looks like fur. It is fluffy and warm, however, keep in mind - it is very fat. It is better to choose a narrow bottom for a weed sweater, otherwise you risk becoming like a ball.
Asymmetric
Asymmetric sweaters, in turn, are divided into several subspecies: a sweater with an elongated back; sweater with long corners on the side; A sweater with one side is longer than the other. Any of them will look informal and fresh due to a non-standard cut.
Wide-mouthed
In the cold season, a sweater with a wide shawl collar will be the best way to warm. Sometimes the collar reaches such hypertrophied dimensions that it can replace the hood. Such a sweater will emphasize the beautiful line of the neck, disguise such shortcomings as a disproportionately large or, on the contrary, small head.
With a slit on the back
A sweater with a slit at the back looks piquant and unusual. Just do not wear it on a naked body, it looks vulgar. Ideal for combining with such a sweater is a knitted or silk top in a tone or contrasting color.
School
The student's sweater is distinguished by conciseness, convenience, modesty. Rhombuses are a classic pattern for a school sweater. Monochromatic sweaters are also popular - gray, blue, white. This is a wonderful choice for winter and autumn, quite strict and at the same time warm.
Polo
Polo is a short fastener in the collar area. Polo sweaters are good for their ability to transform: when buttoned it is a turtleneck sweater, when unbuttoned it is a casual jumper. In winter, this detail is very handy, with a slight movement of the hand, you can adapt a warm sweater into a look more appropriate for the room.
With lace
Playing with contrasts is a simple but effective fashion trick! A sweater made of fluffy mohair or angora, complemented by delicate lace, no longer looks like a rustic jacket “under the jacket”, but becomes the main eye-catcher.
Boho style
An oversized natural-colored sweater made of dense knitwear in natural, soft colors is the portrait of a boho-style sweater. The main thing in creating this image is to be attentive to details, details that create a multi-layered effect, as well as ethnic jewelry and deliberately simple jewelry, will not interfere.
For pregnant
Knitted long sweaters due to their elasticity and softness are ideal for women in position. The absence of belts, fasteners and elastic bands provides the necessary comfort, and knitwear that easily takes the shape of a growing tummy will allow you not to buy new clothes every month.
Poncho
A poncho sweater is perfectly completed with any things, it can be used as an independent element of the wardrobe, and as a cape as outerwear.
Bat
Batwing cut is characterized by a sleeve that is very loose and wide in the armhole area and gradually tapering towards the cuffs. Indeed, it reminds us of a bat's wing. Such voluminous types of clothing are recommended to be worn with a more compact bottom. Paired with a batwing sweater, jeggings or pipe trousers are perfect.
austrian mountain
The Alpine mountain sweater, or, in other words, the mountain shooters sweater, has several distinctive features. It is knitted in a special thick knit exclusively from 100% camel wool. The high collar is equipped with a button closure, which can be unbuttoned if necessary, and the sleeves have overlays made of dense fabric that prevents abrasion of the knitted fabric. This is a very practical and durable sweater, it can be worn even under a thin jacket and at the same time you are guaranteed not to be cold.The Austrian mountain sweater is unpretentious in care, it is permissible to wash it in a washing machine.
With slits on the sides
A particularly relevant sweater model in the coming season is a sweater with slits on the sides. In this case, often the back is slightly longer than the front. This feature contributes to a better fit, and also allows you to demonstrate a beautiful curve of the hip or an interesting belt on jeans.
with holes
I would like to note right away that we do not mean the sweater that the moth ate in the closet. When holes on a sweater are the result of the work of designers, they look very playful and sexy and there is no desire to mend them at all. It is better to wear such a sweater over a top or a thin knitted blouse.
Beautiful patterns, drawings and prints
A sweater does not have to be monophonic; various images, ornaments, and drawings are in trend, which amaze with their diversity.
with a fox
The red-haired cheat in front of the sweater will certainly attract the views of others. It symbolizes cunning and seductiveness, feminine charm. The pattern in the form of many chanterelles running across the sweater in different directions is less catchy, but also quite interesting.
With openwork leaves
Openwork leaves are a fairly popular pattern for knitting. On sale you can find such sweaters of industrial production, but a special chic is hand knitting. If you are not good enough in knitting technique, then entrust it to a professional. You will receive a unique thing, the color, texture and composition of which you have chosen yourself, based on your preferences.
With embroidery
Sweaters knitted with front stitch are decorated with embroidery. As a rule, the neckline is covered with embroidery.It can be both hand and machine embroidery, as well as beadwork. Embroidered sweaters should be handled more delicately than regular sweaters. Definitely gentle hand wash or even dry cleaning.
With an owl
The series of films about Harry Potter that came out on the screens has given us a fashion for several years that has not passed for drawing in the form of an owl. Owls are decorated with sweater coquettes, and their front part, pockets, sleeves - the scope for imagination is unlimited. There are also volumetric drawings in the form of owls.
With diamonds
The rhombus sweater has long been a classic. There are sweaters with this pattern for women, and for men, and for children of both sexes. Sufficiently strict, concise pattern makes it possible to wear a sweater for work and for a walk, it will be appropriate both there and there.
With logo
A sweater with a logo is often chosen by enthusiastic people: sports fans will be happy with a sweater with the logo of their favorite team; music lovers will choose the logo of their favorite band and so on. At the moment, many sites offer to decorate a plain sweater with your chosen logo, and this service is quite popular among users.
With bullfinches
Bright birds with a red breast are a living symbol of winter. Bullfinches adorn sweaters in mostly blue, red and white colors, they are best suited as a backdrop for these birds. The Internet is replete with patterns and, with the proper skills, you can knit a sweater with bullfinches yourself if you don’t find the right one in stores.
with ornament
A sweater with an ornament is an incredibly cozy little thing! Scandinavian or Norwegian ornaments are the most famous. Such sweaters are knitted in a circle, and the ornament is most often red, black or blue on a white or blue background.Stylized snowflakes, Christmas trees, deer, floral ornaments, all this creates a unique winter atmosphere.
materials
Initially, the main purpose of the sweater was not beauty at all, but warmth and comfort. After all, it was clothing for fishermen and sailors. Therefore, they were knitted from raw sheep's wool, which contained the natural water-repellent element lanolin. Currently, the range of materials from which sweaters are knitted has been significantly expanded, these are cotton, silk, cashmere, merino wool, mohair, angora, polyester.
From thick yarn
Thick yarn allows you to emphasize the texture of the pattern, make it more convex and voluminous. Sweaters made of thick yarn with Aran patterns, braids, plaits never go out of fashion. Even a simple front surface knitted from voluminous yarn looks quite interesting.
Actual colors
Each new season is preparing a surprise for us: what colors, shades and patterns will be relevant? Modern fashion is quite variable, however, some trends can still be traced.
Orange
In the autumn-winter season 2016-2017, according to fashion experts, a muted, reddish-orange shade called "potter's clay" will be especially popular. A sweater in such colors will suit ladies belonging to the “autumn” and “spring” color types.
Violet
In the coming season, unlike last year, softer and lighter shades of purple will be relevant: amethyst, plum. A purple sweater is a difficult wardrobe item, as this color, located close to the face, is not for everyone. Violet is preferable for representatives of the “winter” color type, and is categorically contraindicated in autumn, as it gives their skin a yellowish, painful tone.
Mint
The color of fresh mint, so natural and delicate, suits many. A mint-colored sweater will be especially suited to brown-haired and fair-haired women. Natural blondes should be careful with mint, there is a chance that he will forgive them.
Turquoise
The green-blue tone of the sweater is good because it combines very well with a huge number of colors common in clothes. It goes well with light denim, white, blue and even - unexpectedly! - with red.
With what and how to wear
A sweater is a wardrobe essential that every woman should have. But let's figure out how and with what to wear it?
Under the jacket
It is permissible to wear a thin tight-fitting sweater under a jacket, while the colors of the sweater and jacket must certainly harmonize and form a single ensemble. An important nuance: the jacket should be selected so that it is longer than the sweater.
Jeans
The sweater goes great with jeans. This is a familiar combination, convenient, comfortable and stylish. A thick sweater and ripped jeans will help create a grunge look; skinny jeans with a slim-fitting sweater made of fine wool are already feminine style. Such scope for imagination!
Scarf
A wide voluminous scarf over a sweater will add additional volume to the neck and shoulders, well disguise such a feature of the figure as sloping shoulders. A flowing silk scarf will create a gentle romantic look, light and touching.
How to fold
Knitted sweaters are recommended to be stored folded, as when stored on a coat hanger they tend to stretch and lose their shape.But how to fold a sweater in such a way that you do not have to iron it every day? It's quite simple: lay the sweater on a horizontal surface face up, then fold one sleeve to the center, then the second, twist the entire structure with a roll. Thanks to this method of folding, the product takes up little space and folds and creases do not form on it, which are then quite difficult to smooth out.
How to decorate
A simple plain sweater can be diversified with the help of accessories. For example, decorate it with a large brooch, neckerchief. Or wear a simple leather lace with an unusual pendant over a sweater. A good option is beads or a novelty in the fashion industry - a knitted scarf necklace.
fashion images
With a sweater, you can create many fashionable bows, this wardrobe item changes, but never goes out of fashion. At the same time, a sweater is an item that suits absolutely everyone - women, men, and children of both sexes.
For a newborn
Sweaters for babies have a number of differences from adult models. The first and most important thing is that you need exclusively hypoallergenic yarn, completely natural in composition, because the skin of children is very sensitive and delicate. It is best to choose a sweater made of delicate and thin yarn in pastel shades; miniature trousers and booties to match the sweater are suitable for it.
For teenager
Teenage sweaters are distinguished by bright colors, bold patterns and logos. Teenagers are dynamic and lead an active lifestyle, so a sweater should be practical and comfortable, wear a sweater well with jeans, sneakers or sneakers in an informal setting. For school, a plain or diamond-patterned sweater can be paired with a midi skirt or pleated dress pants.
For girl
Tight-fitting sweaters have long lost their positions on the catwalks, they are gradually leaving our lives. Fashion experts advise choosing a fairly spacious oversized model as a basic sweater. It can be worn with a denim or leather miniskirt, sneakers or loafers.
For woman
A classic of the genre is a white cashmere sweater and 7/8-length pipe trousers with stiletto heels. A more democratic look is easy to create by combining a sweater dress with a voluminous pattern with leggings or tights and high suede boots. And stylish, and comfortable, and warm - three in one.
New
Autumn winter
The latest fashion is a very short sweater that opens the stomach. It should be worn with a knitted dress or put on a longer knitted top. Please note that you should not expose your stomach in the cold season, it looks vulgar, and you should not forget about health either.
Another novelty is a loose-fitting sweater with a lowered armhole, which has returned to fashion after many years of oblivion. The pattern is the simplest - an elastic band or smooth surface, since this thing, due to its volume, is already quite noticeable and there is no need to burden it with unnecessary details.
An unusual and extravagant option is a baggy sweater. It looks like it is a couple of sizes too big for its owner and pretty stretched out, and the sleeves are too long. It can be worn by the owner of any figure, it will hide all the flaws, however, it will not emphasize the advantages. Its main highlight is freedom of movement, ease and convenience, as well as the convenience of combining. You can wear a baggy sweater with trousers and a long skirt, it is ideal for lovers of boho style.
A sleeveless sweater is also on the list of novelties for the autumn-winter season.This seemingly strange model for the cold season is quite interesting and practical. After all, you can wear a dress or a knitted pullover with sleeves under a sweater and then you get a set of clothes with a layered effect.
Spring Summer
The spring-summer season will please us with more tight-fitting and feminine models than the autumn-winter season, the designers promise us. Sweaters with geometric patterns and ornaments in a fairly rich color scheme come to the fore.
A sweater with an asymmetric cut does not give up its positions. It will also be active in the spring.
By analogy with T-shirts and dresses, we are offered sweaters with cutouts on the shoulders and slits on the sleeves. In contrast to the high collar and tight knit, it looks really fresh and unusual.
The original detail is the fringe. In the spring, it will decorate not only the bottom, but also the sleeves and edges of the sweater collar.
Sweaters with puffed sleeves, as well as those with flared bottoms and gathered cuffs, also promise to become popular.
An important detail is the yarn from which the sweater is knitted. At the moment it is sectional dyed yarn and thick woolen yarn.
A sweater is an indispensable thing in the cold season, which, moreover, is a basic element of the wardrobe. Among the huge variety of styles and colors, it will not be difficult to choose the model that is right for you.
