Sweaters

On the eve of the New Year holidays, each of us wants to let a little fabulous magic into our lives. Even adults who no longer believe in Santa Claus, Santa Claus and other New Year's characters for a long time feel the presence of something wonderful these days. Themed films and music, home decoration and, of course, unusual outfits that are taken out of the closets only once a year help to create a New Year's mood.

The idea of ​​dressing up in funny sweaters with New Year's and Christmas patterns came to us from American and Western cultures. It is there that there is a tradition for the whole family to wear similar clothes for pre-holiday photos and feasts.

In today's article we will tell you more about this new wardrobe item for most of us. The classic sweater model assumes the presence of a high collar that fits the neck, but now collarless sweaters - jumpers and pullovers are becoming more and more popular. We will introduce you to the most interesting models of New Year's sweaters, popular patterns and designs, and also give you some tips on how and with what to wear them.

First, let's define what a sweater is. Usually this word is understood as a warm knitted pullover without fasteners with long sleeves and a high collar. But for New Year's sweaters, the neck is mostly absent.

Such sweaters are worn by both men and women. Sweaters are made from woolen, synthetic or mixed yarn.

This garment comes in many varieties. They differ, including in the pattern.Sweaters are striped, openwork, with braids and other patterns. Sweaters with winter motives have been especially popular lately.

Fir trees, snowflakes and deer are traditional elements of Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian and Icelandic folk designs. In our country, such sweaters have been worn for a long time, but they became really fashionable only a few years ago. So, sweaters with Scandinavian and Icelandic ornaments are the first type of New Year's sweaters.

The second type is familiar to each of us from American films and TV series of the 80s and 90s. If the action of the picture took place on Christmas Eve, most likely, a character in a bright red sweater with Santa Claus, a snowman, a reindeer team and other attributes of the most beloved holiday flashed in it.

Gradually, similar sweaters began to appear in the wardrobes of Russian fashionistas. True, the most patriotic of them still choose models with drawings from our reality: Santa Claus, bullfinches on a snow-covered mountain ash, characters from folk tales and Soviet cartoons, etc.

Finding a New Year's sweater in a clothing store can be tricky, especially if you don't want to settle for a knitted sweater with Scandinavian patterns, but want something more spectacular. Here, online stores and catalogs will come to your aid, where there are many more similar offers.

The penguin, although it has nothing to do with the New Year and Christmas, appears quite often on New Year's sweaters. Most likely because this cute bird is strongly associated with snow and cold, without which it is impossible to imagine this magical time.
