Warm cardigans
A cardigan is a very versatile piece of women's wardrobe. He is always in fashion and is simply necessary in everyday life. Only his models and colors change. In the warm version, the cardigan is especially relevant, since in the cold season it increasingly replaces light jackets and short sweaters.
Popular models
One of the most common styles of warm cardigans is the classic model - knitted or made of dense jersey, with mid-thigh length and button fasteners. This model does not provide for any collar, most often a standard V-neck is used.
An interesting model of a cardigan with a wrap - as a rule, it is made of knitted wool. There is no fastener underneath, only a belt is provided, which acts both as a belt and as a decorative element.
Models made of dense fabric look interesting, in which the smell is provided on the shoulder line. In such a cardigan, the chest line is favorably emphasized, but hides the absence of a waist. This model is perfect for curvy girls with a pleasant fullness.
Cardigans with an asymmetrical hem, made of corduroy or suede, perfectly keep their shape. They can be worn both as a jacket and as outerwear. In the models with buttons, the designers have provided rounded floors that emphasize the texture of the fabric. The fastener for such models is most often buttons located either on top of the collar or below at the hem.
Models with fur trim are suitable for cold evenings when you want warmth and comfort. They come with a hood and a collar. The choice of fur depends on the model - if the cardigan is bulky due to knitting, then the fur is selected with a short pile, for example, mink.And if the model is made of warm, but thin fabric, then voluminous fur will be appropriate - a chic silver fox, a warm raccoon or a practical arctic fox.
Cardigans with a hood in "warm" performance will come in handy during the cold season. Warm fabric will warm the body, and the hood will protect the head from frost without disturbing the hair style. The color of cardigans with a hood is usually monotone, but sometimes there are small prints or a voluminous texture of the fabric.
Sports models of cardigans are distinguished by their strict cut and straight lines. The color performance of such models is not very diverse, since preference is given to neutral, practical colors. Features of warm sports cardigans include a zipper and pockets.
Color solutions
Cardigans made of dense fabric and wool, made in restrained neutral colors, look elegant and feminine. Beige, gray, milky color adds austerity to the image, but at the same time, tenderness and comfort. Women with a conservative outlook on fashion will appreciate the dark cardigans - black, dark brown, wet asphalt, sand. In such models, you can appear in the office without fear of going beyond the strict business dress code.
Warm cardigans in bright colors are also not uncommon. Models are gaining popularity, the color of which against the background of gray autumn streets will be beneficial to distinguish you from the crowd - mint, orange, heavenly, green. These colors, when properly combined with the rest of the ensemble, will give your image individuality and unique charm.
On cardigans made of warm fabric, the use of various prints is very popular - it can be simple lines and complex geometric shapes. Ethnic prints are also relevant - static color images look very relevant on drape models. Knitted cardigans are often decorated with "winter" patterns - deer, snowflakes, patterns, etc.
Elongated wool models are very often decorated with different volumetric knitting. It can be simple geometric images, elongated vertically, and uncomplicated patterns - openwork lace or volumetric flowers. In any case, this method of knitting greatly decorates the products, giving them a special charm and femininity.
What to wear with?
A warm cardigan will be a great option for visiting the office or for a business lunch. Its color should be chosen neutral - black, gray or white. The rest of the ensemble should adhere to the usual business style - a black bottom (for example, tapered trousers, black jeans of a classic cut or a pencil skirt) and a white or light top - a white blouse, light top or thin jumper.
Remember that sweaters and thick sweaters will not work in combination with a thick cardigan. In such a set, you will resemble a polar explorer who lacks a warm sheepskin coat.
For attending entertainment events, the cardigan is a very comfortable type of clothing that can be included in almost any ensemble. It will look great with jeans and shorts, even if their length is shorter than the cardigan itself. When combined with leggings, shoes with high heels should be preferred.
If you want to wear a cardigan in combination with a skirt, then the latter should be chosen either in a straight or tapered style, as you can create a slightly "gypsy" look. The combination of a cardigan and a floor-length skirt looks very gentle and feminine. But the skirt should be monochromatic and strictly straight cut, otherwise your image will seem a little wider than it really is.
Clothes for the top in a free style bow can be anything - when choosing it, first of all, you need to focus on the lower part of the ensemble. The main condition is that it should be as tight-fitting as possible so that it does not stand out from under the cardigan. Since it is warm and, accordingly, voluminous, an additional visible layer of clothing will visually add a few extra pounds to your image.
