Sleeveless Cardigans

In the 19th century in Great Britain, lords often wore military uniforms. But, since the English islands are far from the most southern latitudes, such clothes needed to be insulated. One of the lords decided to use for these purposes a special type of button-down sweater, which later became one of the most popular types of clothing. What do you think, what was the name of this lord? That's right, his name was Lord James Cardigan.

Almost two centuries have passed since the invention of the first cardigan, and this model is not only not lost in time, but, on the contrary, with each new fashion season is gaining its popularity even more. The number of various models is simply amazing; from this abundance, any fashionista will be able to choose a thing for her wardrobe.

The exceptions are cardigans made of wool or very dense fabric, which are used as a cape for the main ensemble. But they, as a rule, play a greater role in style than in giving warmth.

The classics never go out of style. This truth is once again confirmed by the models of sleeveless cardigans, among which you can often find styles created for attending business events. As a rule, they are not too long - maximum, up to mid-thigh, but not short either - they always cover the waist.

The V-neck collar is a priority in strict business models, but sometimes there are alternative options. For example, a sleeveless cardigan looks very impressive, but with a well-oiled collar. It looks a bit like a jacket, but it is given out by the softer texture of the fabric and the absence of sleeves. However, today even the strictest dress code does not provide for the obligatory wearing of a jacket to work, so a cardigan of a strict tone will be quite appropriate in the office.

A classic black or strict dark gray color makes them a great alternative to a serious jacket and complements a business look. The silhouette of the cardigan can be straight or slightly fitted, all other styles, unfortunately, are suitable only for informal events. But this is for the best, because no other model can emphasize the sexuality of your figure as unobtrusively as a tight-fitting but strict cardigan made of knitwear or fine wool.

A sleeveless wrap cardigan can be a great option for attending fun events with a ton of people. It can perfectly complement almost any look, successfully fitting into a variety of ensembles. Often there is no clasp on such a model, so the provided belt or thin strap is an accessory that acts both as a functional and as a decorative element.

An elongated model of a sleeveless cardigan should be a must-have thing in the wardrobe of every girl who has a couple of extra pounds. Due to its length, it will perfectly hide problem areas such as buttocks and hips, and a correctly selected color or print can change your silhouette beyond recognition, visually stretching it and making it more slender.

Thin wool cardigans can be afforded by both slender women and ladies "in the body". Most often, machine knitting is used to create such a fabric, therefore, even if there is a three-dimensional image on it, wool will not add a few extra centimeters in volume to the image, but, unfortunately, it will not correct the figure, showing it as it is.

Sleeveless knitted cardigans will be an excellent solution for creating both casual and formal look. Feature of the texture of this fabric is the ability to fit the silhouette, but at the same time not "overload" it. Therefore, knitted cardigans have a particularly wide range of models for every taste and type of figure.

Since the sleeveless cardigan, due to its style, often acts as an additional element of the image, its color should not be catchy. It is allowed to have an unpretentious print, with the help of which you plan to slightly adjust your figure.

A distinctive feature of the sleeveless cardigan is that the same model in different looks can look completely different. For example, a black knitted cardigan with a fitted silhouette with buttons can be safely worn in the office, combining it with a white blouse and strict straight trousers. And if we wear the same model with skinny jeans and a bright top, complementing the image with high heels and a bright handbag, we get a great ensemble for going to the movies or meeting with friends.

When choosing an ensemble with a sleeveless cardigan as an additional element, the following points should be considered:

• With a cardigan made of thick fabric or thick wool, only thin and tight things should be combined: skinny jeans, thin turtlenecks that fit the silhouette of a dress;
• In combination with a skirt, a cardigan can be chosen longer only in combination with tapered and straight models. Bulky skirts such as a bell. sun or tutu, can only be worn with a cardigan just below the waist;
• A cardigan without a fastener looks much more impressive, so if you purchased a model with buttons, try to fasten it as rarely as possible. This will give your look a kind of casualness that looks very stylish and elegant;
• Try to combine cardigans made from natural fabrics with the same natural things. Cotton and virgin wool textures don't go well with sheer polyester or lycra.
