The knitted sweater is so firmly and confidently takes place in the modern wardrobe that it is even difficult to imagine that it was once a clothing exclusively for fishermen. Sweaters were woven from warm yarns and were designed to protect anglers from the piercing wind and cold. Since those distant times, the sweater has changed a lot in appearance, its model range has significantly expanded. One of the trends of the new season is the cropped knitted sweater.

Peculiarities
A cropped knitted sweater can be very conditionally attributed to the "crop top" category, that is, cropped clothes that reveal the belly.

Such clothes look especially impressive on girls with a toned figure, thin waist and flat belly. This mainly applies to models made of fine yarns, designed for the warm season.

A cropped sweater is used alone or in combination with other clothes that are best tight-fitting, otherwise the outfit will look too voluminous and, to some extent, sloppy.

Who shouldn't wear a short sweater?
The cropped model looks great on girls with a chiseled figure. Such sweaters "cut" the figure horizontally, revealing the belly and waist, so this style will not look very harmonious on overweight girls.

However, curvy ladies can find the right model for themselves too. It's just that the sweater will not be worn on a naked body, but combined with other clothes.

Layering remains in vogue, so a stylish set of a tunic or an elongated blouse, a short sweater and tight-fitting trousers, leggings or leggings will look very stylish and harmonious on women of any body size!

Stylists do not recommend choosing cropped models for tall girls. In this case, the figure looks somewhat disproportionate.

Models
The range of cropped sweaters includes several basic styles:
- Classical. Regular turtleneck sweater with long sleeves.
- Wide sweater. A voluminous model that from the outside looks somewhat stretched and inappropriate for the size of the owner.
- Asymmetric cut. As a rule, it is a sweater that is long in the back and short in the front.

Sweaters can have different sleeve lengths, shortened options are especially relevant, for example, ¾. The sweater can have a straight or slightly fitted cut. The hem can be loose or gathered with an elastic band or cuff. The shape of the collar can also be different - from a tall pipe to a boat-shaped cutout, a round or V-shaped neck.

Color and print
A cropped sweater is a very striking accent in any look, regardless of whether it is worn as an independent item or in combination with other clothes. Therefore, the color of the model itself does not have to be bright and flashy.

Classic and pastel colors are in fashion: black, white, light gray, blue, sand, grassy, cream, pale pink. Deeper, more saturated shades also look good - plum, brick, golden brown.

As for prints, floral motifs never go out of fashion. These can be bright, small flowers scattered all over the sweater or large buds made in blurry pastel colors.

How and with what to wear?
The most popular looks are combined based on the principle of layering. This means that a short sweater can be worn not only as an independent item, but also in combination with shirts, turtlenecks, blouses, T-shirts and other clothes. The combination of clothes of different lengths and colors allows you to visually correct figure flaws, so women of all body types can afford such sets without fear that they will not look stylish and fashionable enough.

In addition, layering is one of the trends in youth fashion. Therefore, a short knitted sweater can be combined with almost any base - top, T-shirt, T-shirt, bodysuit, dress, sundress, etc.

Another important rule when choosing a suitable ensemble of clothing for a shortened model is color matching. Things can be matched in one color scheme or, on the contrary, be contrasting in color.

Another interesting combination: T-shirt + skinny + sweater. All items should be selected in different shades of pastel colors, such as light blue, cream and light beige. This outfit will look very gentle and feminine.

If a sweater is worn on a naked body, but you don't really want to open your belly and waist, then an excellent way out of the situation would be to use trousers or a skirt with a high waist. This set looks very fashionable and impressive. The sweater can be tucked into trousers and emphasize the waist with a leather strap or a wide beautiful belt.

To combine with a dress, it is best to choose wide, voluminous sweater models that differ from the color of the dress by a couple of shades. Such sets look especially elegant and feminine.

For a casual look, go with any high-waist or mid-waist jeans with a cropped sweater. Instead of jeans, you can use a straight pencil skirt.

For smart, romantic looks, it is best to use sweaters with unusual cut, such as asymmetrical, off the shoulder or boat neckline. Openwork sweaters go well with smart dresses or pretty blouses.
