Sweater dress

A real woman always wants to remain fashionable and beautiful. Even in the coldest time of the year, when it would seem very difficult to emphasize your figure under a thick layer of warm jackets and jeans. An elegant sweater dress is ideal for the cold season and not only for him.

Today it is difficult to say with certainty when exactly this item of women's wardrobe appeared. According to one version, the prototype of the modern dress was a wide knitted jacket, which was used by Scandinavian fishermen to protect them from cold and wind. This clothing was soon adopted by women, using sweaters as cropped warm dresses.

At first, such sweaters were used only as home or work clothes, and only at the end of the 20th century, a sweater-dress appeared at the most fashionable shows and became one of the most popular elements of women's clothing.

Why is this sweater good? It can be recommended to be worn by those who prefer a feminine and, at the same time, comfortable and practical style of dress. In such a dress it will be warm and cozy, and such an outfit looks always very relevant and beautiful.

The traditional model of this sweater has a fitted cut, long sleeves and a high collar or cowl collar. You can also find straight-cut dresses with a V-shaped or round neckline, as well as a boat-shaped neckline. Some models are decorated with a stand-up collar.

The most common collar option - the collar can also have several variations - voluminous, wide, narrow, etc. The sleeve can be long, short, or up to the elbow. Moreover, the long sleeve can cover not only the hand to the wrist, but also part of the hand.

The length of the sweater itself may also vary. The most common variant is knee-length or slightly higher. The dress can be straight or slightly gathered at the cuff at the bottom.

Lovers of floor-length dresses can be recommended elongated sweaters. They tend to have a flared cut and are often completed with a belt. Models of thick, textured knitting with embossed patterns, made of yarn of deep, rich colors, for example, blue, red, dark green, etc., look beautiful.

Natural wool, acrylic, polyester and other materials are used to create sweaters. Warm, bulky yarns are more suitable for winter sweaters, lightweight - for thinner models.

Thin plain lace is often used to decorate elegant dresses. It is used to decorate the hem and can have different widths. The color is chosen either to match the dress, or in contrast.

This does not apply to hourglass women. A thin jersey sweater will perfectly accentuate a thin waist and rounded hips.

Owners of pear-shaped figures are better off turning their attention to models extended downwards with a voluminous collar. This will help balance the upper and lower body, and the figure will appear more harmonious.

When choosing a suitable model of such a sweater, the following points should be considered:

• Length. Universal length - to mid-knee. Such a dress can be worn in the office, and at a gala event, and at a party. A dress of this length will perfectly emphasize the dignity of the figure and hide its flaws.

• Style. The fitted, form-fitting cut looks perfect on slim figures. If you have problems with being overweight, then it is better to choose a straight sweater option or a flared one.

• Embossed, large knitting is more suitable for slender girls, and small knitting is more suitable for full ones. The vertical pattern visually stretches the figure, the horizontal one makes it look fat.

• If a sweater is chosen as an office clothing, then it is best to choose classic colors: blue, steel, black. For everyday life, you can recommend light, pastel shades, and for a festive event - a dress of a beautiful mint, coral, lavender color.

This season, designers are betting on an unusual and original weaving and pattern used to knit a sweater. Ethnic ornaments, traditional braids, boucle, etc. are in fashion.

An important role is also given to prints. Large floral patterns, geometry, black-and-white inscriptions are very relevant.

Every bride dreams of an unusually beautiful wedding dress. But what if the wedding is scheduled for the winter season or cold, windy weather turned out on the wedding day? An elegant jacket or sweater made of thin, beautiful jersey will help you to get out of the situation beautifully and not spoil the beauty of the wedding dress.

A light blouse or sweater should have the simplest and most concise cut so as not to overlap the beauty of the wedding dress, but to emphasize it. The color scheme should be neutral; you can additionally decorate the jacket with a beautiful ribbon.

It is great if the color of the sweater matches any of the accessories or flowers in the bridal bouquet. Sweaters of milk, cream, pale pink, blue color look very gentle and feminine.

An elegant sweater has undeniable advantages over wedding coats or boleros. First, a sweater will always warm you better than a small, open bolero.Secondly, such a sweater can then be worn in everyday life, combining it with other clothes.

The style of the sweater must be selected based on the style of the dress itself. Thin, tight-fitting sweaters are best for curvy models. And vice versa - a fluffy sweater will effectively emphasize the beauty of a tight-fitting dress.

Ladies with curvaceous shapes are unlikely to fit models of large, embossed knit sweaters. In such sweaters, the figure will appear much larger than it really is. It is best to choose a straight cut sweater made in fine knit, knitted models with large, bright inserts are acceptable.

As outerwear on such a sweater, you can put on a leather biker jacket, an elegant blazer, a straight coat, a fur vest, etc.

It is appropriate to combine a long sweater dress with shoes, and short versions with long boots, otherwise the image runs the risk of becoming vulgar.
