Knitwear
In the modern world, knitwear is considered one of the most popular materials for making clothes. Almost every woman's wardrobe contains at least a few knitwear items. The popularity of this material is quite justified, because it has a number of advantages that other types of fabric cannot boast of.
Advantages of knitwear
Knitwear has a number of advantages, because of which the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity prefer it. Among these advantages are the following:
- pleasant to the touch surface of the material, which does not cause discomfort when worn;
- high wear resistance, making knitwear as durable as possible;
- the easiest care (in particular, such material practically does not need to be ironed);
- complete safety (this type of fabric does not cause allergies, and also does not accumulate an electrostatic charge).
Another important advantage of this material is its compactness during storage. For knitwear, you do not need to allocate separate hangers in the closet. Such clothes can be stored folded, because they practically do not wrinkle.
In addition, knitwear is considered a versatile material. It is suitable for women of all shapes and sizes.Absolutely any type of clothing can be made from it: both for home use and for going to parties.
Types of knitwear by purpose
According to the scope of knitwear can be:
- top;
- underwear;
- hosiery;
- glove;
- shawl-scarf;
- for headwear.
The upper type of material is used to create women's sweaters, dresses, jackets, coats. These types of wardrobe may differ in style, color, length. In addition, sweaters, jackets and coats may be suitable for a particular season. In particular, there are summer, winter and autumn-spring models on the market.
Linen knitwear is used in the manufacture of underwear. Each model is distinguished by design and coloring. In particular, there are simple models for everyday life. Also, a woman can buy some special lingerie for a romantic evening.
Hosiery varieties of knitwear are used by manufacturers of stockings, tights and socks. Capes are made from shawl-scarf knitwear, worn over jackets and coats, scarves and shawls on the head. Also, this type of material can be used to create hats (for any season) and gloves (both insulated and regular).
Composition of jersey
As a rule, this material has the form of a canvas, from which clothing is then made. However, some wardrobe items can be made from yarn (for example, gloves, stockings and socks).
In the vast majority of cases, knitted fabric is 100% cotton. In addition, there are varieties of fabric containing only polyester. Sometimes you can find a material whose composition contains acrylic or viscose.
Combined types of knitwear are considered quite common.In particular, on the market you can find a fabric consisting of cotton, viscose and linen. The practice of adding lycra to the composition is very popular (it makes the finished product more elastic). Some types of knitwear may consist of wool. As a rule, such models are needed for the manufacture of sweaters and insulated gloves.
In general, the composition of knitted fabrics can be natural, synthetic and mixed. The most practical is the synthetic type of fabric. It easily tolerates washing, does not shed, weakly absorbs moisture. The only disadvantage of synthetics is the likelihood of allergies in some women.
Selection rules
When choosing clothes from knitwear, it is necessary, first of all, to take into account the style of the model. If you want to buy a wardrobe item that will be worn only at home, then you can give preference to the simplest and most convenient model. Such clothes can have any color and pattern, although it is better to take products made in dark colors, because due to constant use they will get dirty faster. Such elements of the wardrobe may not emphasize the figure, the absence of a designer zest is allowed. The main focus should be on convenience.
If you need to buy clothes to go out to people, then here the list of requirements increases. Such a knitted wardrobe should be comfortable, have a pleasant design and emphasize the uniqueness of its hostess. Be sure to consider the combination of colors.
If you need to buy clothes for cold seasons, then you need to pay attention to the degree of insulation. Here it is better to choose something from knitted woolen sweaters or insulated coats. Also, it is recommended to give preference to hats consisting of natural knitwear.
Sportswear should be elastic so as not to tear under stress.
Quality
Its durability depends on the quality of the product. When choosing knitwear, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- seam - a high-quality model should have tight seams that connect all its elements as reliably as possible (only a slight stretching of the seams is allowed);
- surface - clothes should be pleasant to the touch, during fitting there should be no discomfort (tingling, itching, etc.);
- edge - on this element of the fabric there should be no defects (abrasions, cuts, strong curvature);
- density - this indicator depends on the type of model (outerwear should be tight enough, but T-shirts and sweaters should stretch a little so as not to tear when making sudden movements);
- the quality of fastening of buttons (if any) - this point should be taken into account when buying coats, jackets and some sweaters (button fastening should be moderately tight so that the buttons themselves hold well, but fasten without problems).
We take into account the color
There is an opinion that clothes made of black jersey are most suitable for curvy women, because. it hides the most obvious flaws of the figure. This is true, but everything is not limited to just black. Curvy women can even choose multi-colored models, but they must contain oblique or vertical lines. These lines will visually hide imperfections and make a woman more slender. In addition, vertical lines are suitable for short girls, because. they will make them taller.
On the contrary, it is better for thin representatives of the weaker sex to give preference to models containing horizontal lines.So they will be able to emphasize the harmony of their figure.
If we talk in more detail about color, then it is recommended to focus on the contrast between clothing and hair. So, darker colors (navy blue, black, cherry) are well suited for blondes. On brunettes and brown-haired women, dresses of white, pale pink, yellow color will look perfect.
The shade of clothes can depend not only on the color of the hair, but also on the area of \u200b\u200bapplication. For business meetings, it is better to buy something strict, and bright models are suitable for parties.
Deciding on style
Knitwear can be combined with almost all existing types of fabric. In particular, knitted T-shirts and sweaters will look beautiful with jeans or denim shorts. The combination with the skin can also come out quite pleasant. For example, a knitted hat or scarf will perfectly complement the look of a girl dressed in a leather jacket.
If you combine latex and knitwear, you can find an incredibly attractive appearance. In particular, you can wear latex shorts and knitted stockings. Latex pants and a knitted jacket (or sweater) will look very nice on a young girl.
Both natural and synthetic jerseys go well with silk. For example, a silk scarf will look harmoniously over a coat or jacket. In addition, a silk blouse is ideal for a knitted jacket.
