Sports sweatshirts

A sweater, according to Wikipedia, is a piece of clothing that has the following characteristics: it is knitted, designed for the upper body, and has fasteners in front. The jacket became the founder of the appearance of cardigans, sweaters, pullovers.

In everyday life, a blouse means any shoulder clothing, and a sports jacket in this article will be considered in this context.

Sportswear has long become a fashion trend. And now not only simplicity, comfort, but also chic is inherent in it. Sportswear is made by both brands specializing in this and the most famous couturiers.

But for many, a sports jacket remains a piece of clothing in which, first of all, it should be comfortable. And after a hard working week, instead of a narrow office blouse, you want to put on a simple sports blouse.

Designers include the following features of this clothing:

• natural fabrics;
• minimal decor;
• free forms;
• versatility;
• compatibility with other casual clothes.

Thanks to these features, sports sweatshirts are comfortable, comfortable and minimalistic.

In the Soviet Union, all sports sweatshirts were called olympics. This name appeared in the 70s of the XX century. An olympic jacket is an upper part of a tracksuit made of jersey or wool with long sleeves. There was a white zipper on the front, which could go through the entire piece or to the chest. In terms of color, only blue shades. From the design - white stripes on the cuffs and collar.

Now sports sweatshirts have more than one name:

Sweatshirt - a jacket made of dense jersey that is worn over the linen. Its purpose is to keep warm. Includes short or long sleeves.

The sweatshirt is similar to the sweatshirt, but has a looser fit and raglan. Some modern models have pockets and a hood. They are sewn from jersey, pile or fleece are added to the warmed ones, they contain design elements in the form of graphic prints and ornaments.

Hoodie is a light sports jacket that is worn over the head, has pockets and sometimes with a hood.

Bomber. Initially, the clothing was military, then it became civilian. Has an elastic band at the ends of the sleeves and at the waist, there may be a zipper or buttons.

A stereotype regarding sports sweaters has taken root in society: they necessarily have a zipper and a characteristic color. But fashion does not stand still, it is constantly evolving and reveals to the general public a new reading of what seemed to be such ordinary things.

The most popular models of sports sweatshirts:

Insulated sweaters: knitted or from a dense fleece footer. Knitted patterns can perform two functions. The first is to be an independent outerwear warm in spring or early fall. The second - instead of a sweater in the cold. Sweatshirts made of footer are also good at low temperatures, the hoods on them often turn away with fur and already act as a jacket.

The ultra-fashionable bomber deserves a separate narration. Its history began during the Second World War. Such clothes were sewn for bomber pilots, hence the name.

1960 - the period of the entry of the bomber into the broad strata of society. At this time, he firmly entrenched himself among the representatives of a widespread subculture - skinheads.
