Sweater

A sweater is an item of knitted clothing with a long sleeve and neck. Traditionally, it is created from wool with an admixture of synthetic materials, as well as from acrylic. The length of sweaters for women can be any - short - covering the navel, long - covering the thighs almost completely.

The men's range is less diverse. Usually a sweater for men has an average length - the lower edge covers the waistband of trousers. Different models and in their cut - there are fitted sweaters for the figure, as well as free, baggy options for oversize.

A sweater in a woman's wardrobe is combined with almost any clothes and fits into any style. Sweaters are reflected in casual, boho, minimalism, grunge and other styles.

Sweaters

Jumper

A jumper is a knitwear with or without a small clasp, as well as a round collar. In length, it partially covers the hip area. Initially, this is part of the equipment of athletes-athletes.

Jumper

Made of cotton, a thin unisex jumper can be an element of a multi-layered image. Emphasize the feminine fragility of a light jumper in the style of oversize, worn over a dress in a linen style. And worn over a classic white shirt, it dilutes the officialdom a bit.

Men's jumper

Men's tight jumper made of cashmere or wool is harmoniously combined with straight trousers. Polo collar models are good for daily wear. In the presence of a zipper, the thing is unique for a cozy set for cold weather. Such a piece of clothing visually adds age to young guys. But a brutal man in this looks softer and more attractive.

Pullover

Half-ver

Pullover is the closest "brother" of the jumper, which differs from it only in the v-shape of the gate. The classic version has a fitted silhouette and long narrowed sleeves.

You can create a modern women's relaxed set with a thin pullover as the first layer. At the same time, tenderness should be balanced with rough shoes and loose trousers.

Asymmetrical models are harmoniously combined with flying skirts, jaggins or cargo pants. From shoes, boats or comfortable loafers will do.

Asymmetric model

A sexy image will turn out if a pullover with a slit on the back is combined with shorts or a flying skirt. This model is relevant even for a summer evening and going out. Pullover with openwork knitting will be balanced by rough boots and jeans.

Men use a pullover as a second layer over a shirt or T-shirt. A kit for going to work will help to create a monochromatic fitted pullover, a classic shirt, shoes and a tie. For the preppy style, the bow may be a little more relaxed. The casual version with a cashmere or knitwear pullover will be complemented by narrowed trousers and bright topsiders.

Male half-ver

Turtleneck

A turtleneck is a thin tight jacket with a high collar and no clasps. Initially, it was worn under the spacesuit by divers, hence the name.

In St. Petersburg, the product is often called "banlon" or "badlon" because of the synthetic fiber of the same name in the composition of the product. Today, free turtlenecks made of knitwear, wool, yarn are in demand.

For a modern woman, a black turtleneck is a thing that will save any bow. Elegant models with lace and mesh inserts are not in trend today, but a sleeveless turtleneck is in demand. It will emphasize the tenderness and grace of the owner.

Turtleneck

In the men's wardrobe, the turtleneck plays exclusively the function of insulation. Stylists agree that the turtleneck looks good on brutal guys with a short haircut or no hair at all, as it emphasizes their masculinity and visually adds growth.

In business kits, a turtleneck can be a substitute for a shirt. Adherents of the informal style often choose for daily wear a combination of a free turtleneck with jeans.

Cardigan

A cardigan is a thin elongated sweater with a v-neck and a button closure. The thing got its name from the name of one count in the 19th century.

James Cardigan was a fashionista and a subtle connoisseur of beauty. He wanted to look elegant even in battle and taught this to his soldiers. The knitted jacket warmed perfectly and was not visible under the uniform. After the war, it was named after the count.

Cardigan

A modern cardigan can be without buttons, but a belt often goes to this model. In the women's wardrobe today, thin cardigans with buttons are not held in high esteem. They should be worn only as a first or second layer. But dense models made of wool will help insulate a light ensemble in the off-season.

In the men's wardrobe, a thin cardigan harmoniously complements the classic office bow with a shirt, trousers and shoes.

Hoodie

A sweatshirt is a knitted unisex sweater of a sporty cut. It is worn as a second layer of clothing. The classic thing has long sleeves, a rounded collar and an elastic band along the bottom edge.

There is an opinion that the name is associated with the name of Leo Tolstoy. In fact, the word came into use only in the 1920s and has nothing to do with the types of shirts that the writer loved so much.

If the sweatshirt has hidden side pockets and a hood, then it has a different name - hoodie.

In the men's wardrobe, a high-quality sweatshirt made of natural materials serves as a base. It can be worn under the suit as a shirt. A relaxed outfit in the style of "urban chic" will be formed in the presence of a dark sweatshirt, jacket and narrow trousers.

Hoodie for Men

If you choose a hoodie instead of a sweatshirt, and wear a shirt under the bottom, then the bow will be relevant even for the cool off-season. In combination with a bomber and joggers, the hoodie gives a full-fledged sports bow, which, by the way, is often chosen by famous rappers. It remains only to make a bright accent with the help of accessories.

Hoodie for women

In the women's wardrobe, a sweatshirt is an indispensable thing. However, a simple bow consisting of a hoodie and denim pants is no longer relevant. Fashionable girls wear sweatshirts and hoodies over dresses and skirts of a romantic cut. Relevant headdresses - berets and hats, as well as laconic sneakers. In cold weather, voluminous products in combination with coats will not freeze.

Cropped sweatshirts are trending today. They can be stylishly combined with high-waisted trousers.

Sweatshirt

A sweatshirt is a symbiosis of a classic sweater and shirt with a round throat neckline, elastic bands on the collar, cuffs and belt.

In the 20s, Benjamin Russell released a uniform for football players, in which they were not hot. As a basis, the designer took a sweater, which he made from the fabric for shirts. In appearance, the sweatshirt strongly resembles a sweatshirt. It is sewn from dense knitwear, sometimes insulated from the inside with pile or fleece.

Men's Sweatshirt

A men's sweatshirt can easily replace a shirt or jumper. Such a thing is easily integrated into any style, adapting to it. Modern fashionistas wear sweatshirts under a classic jacket or a strict coat. A risky option with leather inserts is suitable for a party. For outdoor sports, fleece sweatshirts or models with a comb are ideal.

Women's sweatshirt

A woman's sweatshirt is no less universal. For a comfortable image in the style of "urban chic", a monochromatic sweatshirt will be complemented by a lush skirt, shoes, a bright clutch and a massive necklace. For a business lunch, the tandem of a sweatshirt with straight trousers and a strict jacket is optimal.

Longsleeve

Longsleeve is a tight T-shirt with long sleeves without clasps. Decorative fittings can be used. In the off-season, this type of clothing will serve a good service.

Longsleaves appeared in the 19th century, being part of body overalls. They became widespread in the 1930s.

Women's Longsleeve

In the women's wardrobe, longsleeves become a lifesaver in case of changeable weather. The best option for a walk is a longsleeve with a light jacket. A plain longsleeve under a strict jacket is good for a business meeting. For classes in the gym, longsleeves made of quick-drying breathable materials are popular.

Men's longsleeve with a hood is often combined with insulated vests. Models on fleece lining are relevant even in winter. Longsleeves made of neoprene and polyester are optimal for training.

Men's Longsleeve

Elongated dark longsleeve is the perfect solution for those guys who like the grunge style. Finish the bow with leather pants or dark jeans.

As you can see, all products have significant differences. When choosing a particular item of clothing, start from the information received, but keep in mind that sometimes sellers can call a spade a spade.
