In such a jacket, neither the piercing wind nor the evening chill is terrible. In addition, it is so pleasant to wrap yourself up in it, sitting on the veranda of a country house or in an open gazebo, and enjoy all the delights of outdoor recreation, without fear of shivering.

In today's article, we will tell you in detail about the popular varieties of long jackets, as well as how to properly care for them, how to wear and what to combine with.

First, let's figure out the main types and names of long jackets:

• a cardigan is a knitted sweater without a collar (and often without buttons) with a length below the thigh;
• a sweater is another type of knitted sweaters that has a collar, but does not have fasteners;
• a sweatshirt is a warm jersey sweater in a sporty style with a long sleeve;
• a hoodie is a cross between a long sweater and a hoodie with a zipper.

The advantages of long jackets of different styles include:

• convenience and comfort;
• practicality;
• the ability to warm and protect from the wind;
• the ability to use as outerwear;
• the ability to combine with many things in different styles.

If you are going to buy a long sweater for the warm season, take a closer look at models made from fine knitwear or knitted from cotton threads. In such a jacket, you will be warm enough, but not hot.

Slender and slender girls below average height are suitable for spacious models of long oversized sweaters. And full beauties with luxurious shapes should pay attention to straight or slightly fitted models without voluminous decor.

If you are the owner of short stature, try to wear long sweaters with high-heeled shoes - classic shoes, graceful boots, ankle boots, etc.

Elongated sweaters for women are distinguished by a wide variety of styles and models. We want to introduce you to the most popular solutions that always look great.

A long sweatshirt with slits on the sides is good because it protects from the weather, but at the same time, it allows you to showcase beautiful hips and slender legs. In addition, thanks to the cuts, such models do not restrict movement at all, so you can move at your usual pace.

A long jacket with buttons can be a great alternative to a light coat, trench coat or raincoat. It can be worn not only with trousers, but also with elegant dresses and skirts, as well as with a shirt and a business suit as an elongated jacket.

A long jacket without buttons can be called differently. If the product has sides, like a jacket, then this is a kind of cardigan. If the body of the sweater is one-piece, then this is a pullover, sweater or jumper.

The jacket is short in front, and long in the back looks very stylish, moreover, this style is one of the most relevant today. Sweatshirts of an asymmetric cut are worn by fashionistas, partially tucked into trousers, shorts or a high-waisted skirt.

Long-sleeved sweater is another possible modification of the cardigan. These sweatshirts can be worn with a leather belt, an elastic waistband, or wide open. If the jacket is made of thin fabric, the loose edges can be tied in a knot or a fluffy bow.

A long jacket with a long collar will definitely appeal to those who like to wrap themselves up in warm, cozy clothes. A voluminous collar makes the most ordinary jacket more interesting. We advise you to take a closer look at models with a collar-collar or flounce.

Needlewomen knit such sweaters on special machines, as well as knitting needles or crocheting. Using a crochet hook, you can create openwork things with an elegant, delicate ornament, and with knitting needles you can knit braids, zigzags, as well as a variety of patterns, for example, snowflakes, owls and deer that are now fashionable now.

To create long jackets with your own hands, it is recommended to choose yarn, mainly from natural materials. If we are talking about warm models, then this one will be different types of woolen yarn: mohair, angora, cashmere, etc. Thin, summer sweaters are usually knitted from cotton threads.

The warmest sweaters are made from natural wool or from modern synthetic materials with high thermal insulation characteristics.

If you prefer clothes made from natural materials, then take a look at long sweaters knitted from goat, camel or sheep wool. The wool of angora rabbits is not only very warm, but also pleasant to the touch - soft and silky.

Admirers of modern materials and production technologies, we advise you to pay attention to long sweatshirts with a lining of synthetic insulation. Usually fleece or faux fur is used for these purposes. These materials are excellent at retaining heat, absorbing excess moisture and allowing the skin to breathe. Such insulation is usually used in sports models of long sweatshirts.
